The Trump administration is preparing to lower the recruitment standards for FBI agents, eliciting alarm from many agents who worry that the move will undermine the agency’s primary mission of conducting complex investigations and tracking threats to national security.
He thinks they’re uniformed street cops instead of a Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Sounds just like something a mob boss would do if he were President....
It was one of Putin's ideas (orders), he gave Trump in Alaska.
Here come the proud boys in poor fitting suits and sunglasses
Alarming & dangerous for the readiness of the FBI. Corruption of the high standards needed to be part of the FBI. Compromising our country's primary law enforcement agency. youtu.be/2b1cPgsYe9E
"Securing a wormhole for their most beloved thugs, creeps, and perverts, the Republican Party has lowered its standards just for you." Steve Bannon can probably qualify now.

My 26 year old neighbor just got promoted to FBI training
Preparing??? Look at Trump himself. And his front line of merry men and Botox barbies.
Every toothless inbred from the sticks are going to be agents now.
I thought DEI lowered standards? 🤷♂️
The irony. Easier than boot camp. Reads like an ad for an entry level organized crime syndicate enforcer. This is intended to break the org. The goal is to gut the fed so the rich can crime with impunity. But they’ll have to do it in red states. Or face a blue jail cell. This won’t work out well.
Might as well. It's not like we have standards for service members anymore & look who the CIC is. Look who the Secretary of Defense is.
trump is paid ruSSian agent He is destroying US

He doesn't care about the agents he cares about bodies, the more bodies the more power he thinks. He's going to get a bunch of innocent people killed and it will be his fault he's in command.
Since the trend is to lower the standards for Fed Agencies, has the Trump admin lowered the standard for the Secret Service around him? How about the physicians at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center who look after his health?
No DEI but yes to lowering overall standards for recruitment.
3%er,Oath Keeper, proud boy, J6er, KKK, or Neo-nazi are automatically hired.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I was given a copy of the new FBI Questionnaire: Why are people who call Donald Trump a King 100% correct. How was the election stolen? Why is Donald Trump completely innocent of all charges? It is legal to beat someone with dark skin until they are: dead? Deceased? Or Passed on?
Oh yeah, let’s just keep lowering the standards on everything! Don’t want any smart people in law enforcement, CDC, State, DOJ…
How can all these MAGAots infiltrate the FBI with these high standards tho
I don’t think complex investigations or national security threats are in the FBIs future plans. The FBI will compliment ICE as the presidents army to be deployed against the people.
Great. Who’s going to be left to protect our malls.
I wonder how many of them will be x heroin addicts.
What are the new requirements? I’m wondering if I can be an FBI agent. 🤔
That’s not the FBI’s mission now. It’s Trump’s personal army to attack people he doesn’t like. The standard for hiring will be do you support Trump.

Their fight against diversity saying it was lowering standards was always projection - the real affirmative action was always conservatives incapable of meeting the minimum but still falling up.
Ya, fighting crime. Definitely.
Do they really not comprehend what’s happening??
ICE blobs lose 50kilos and get promoted to the FBI. 😝
More different stories on Trump instead of maintaining focus on Epstein.

"fighting crime"?! Jesus fucking christ nyt!
Because stupid MAGA can’t qualify
Uh, yeah, duh...
Hey, they already lowered them for Director and Deputy Director, so why not?
trump will get rid of the FBI next!
Just can't find a good goon these days.
Good for bad guys!
Well now that is really intelligent
Lowering standards to make America great again.
What could possibly go wrong? The lower standards for the Cabinet worked out great!
😂🤣😅😆
They’re creating a federal goon squad. Maybe it’s worth a giant screaming headline?
What would Mulder and Scully say?
They have to lower the standards if they want to hire magas.
Thugs don’t need high standards.
F.B.I. Plans to Lower Recruiting Standards, Alarming Agents f the nyt gift link
The dumbing of America
Under the current regime, the FBI is no longer an elite investigative agency. It is now a national police force.
The Trump administration just thinks it's unfair that new FBI agents should be required to be more qualified than the director and deputy director of the agency. That's all.
To match the standards of the director and deputy director— fn zero
Our higher intelligence bureaus really need to pay attention to what’s REALLY going on AROUND the world!!
This is not surprising... Given that this Administration seems to appoint or hire only the most inexperienced and unqualified people, with 'loyalty' being the only prerequisite.
Translation: “The Trump administration is planning to hire a bunch of J6ers as FBI agents.”
All this winning, it’s hard to fathom. But just who is winning? Seeing the changes almost looks like a wish-list for Putin. It isn’t clear how this helps the USA or her citizens at all. Not a bit.
The March toward being a police state continues unabated.
The FBI, DOJ, ICE, et al, ARE the enemies of justice. They are becoming little more than Trump's personal Gestappo. Filled to the brim with the type of people who shouldn't be in positions of authority, who will abuse their power for personal gain. It's like living in V for Vendetta, but for real.
...Isn't that why Trump was "up in arms" about DEI - alleged "lowered standards"?...Now here they are lowering standards, so J6-types can score a sweet job doing what they love best - oppressing others...what are the new requirements - sycophancy and a mullet?
Ready.. 3.2.1....All MAGA and Fox News people will be recruited by the FBI. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...
Quantico now offering the optional “hogtying tamale ladies” workshop
He will turn the FBI into an army of morons who can only say “yes, sir” Americans are so cooked 😂
Trump wants to recruit Proud Boys and J6 "tourists."
Someone didn’t get the memo.
Well he’s already lowered the standards of the White House. Why should the FBI be any different? Just remember, you voted for this.
We’ve already seen it with ICE. Like to throw your weight around? Fancy yourself a tough guy when brandishing a weapon? Willing to bend the law to meet a quota? Tired of sitting in your Momma’s basement playing first-person shooter games and watching porn? You’re in!
It’s because they wanna go after anybody they want and they don’t have the people to do it bsky.app/profile/mayh...
Can the news possibly get worse today? Sadly, it could.
… and I thought the FBI couldn’t be more dumbed down. 🤷🏽♂️ If I’ve learned anything since 2015, it’s that dipshits are America’s greatest resource
Are they really alarmed? I see a bunch of armed goons saying “liberals have ruined America.” They’re already pretty pathetic.
They're worried about "complex investigations?" Isn't it clear the mission isn't what it used to be? Bringing accountability to criminals on behalf of the American People is just so.....2024. Demanding that states release actual criminals from jail and pardoning actual criminals is the new thing.
Sounds bad. Are they having trouble finding agents who will abuse the Constitution and US citizens as much as Kash Patel will demand?
Well, Trump lowered the standards for members of his administration. And Republicans lowered the standards for a president.
It surprises anyone? Don't you all think they have already done this with ICE. There is no way half their abductors are high standard pros.
ICE has always been yahoos. Now, they are free to live out their fantasies.
Tell your Senator Tell your Congressperson This is not normal. This is not good. It’s not who we are. It's not who we want to be. It needs to stop. Do something! Or quit
Yeah, just like the Times lowered their standards in order to normalize this jabbering fuckstick instead of acknowledging his fascist mendacity and catastrophic beliefs from the start. T
All they have do is be able to recognize non-white non-male people as such.
That's because those White Nationalists and Proud Boys aren't smart enough for that pay grade.
Oh the FBI as a crime-fighting agency is gone, it is beyond undermined, they are FUCKED. The few good agents left in the FBI are soon to be fired. There is no question the FBI has lost the war against international organized crime. The mob took over the FBI and made Kash Patel their boss.
Trump wants them to be so stupid they will take an oath to the Constitution but not understand or comprehend it Majority of law enforcement today don't know the laws & Constitution Go watch YouTube 1st amendment auditors, either the officers are ignorant of laws & constitution or ignoring them
Trump is building his army of Imbeciles Like ICE hiring his Proud Boys & Jan 6ers Proud Boys are wannabe Rambo's that could not pass the ASVAB even to serve as an infantrymen or cannon fodder
Donald Trump's regime is a national security threat itself

“Can’t spell your name? We would never ask you to. Just wear a mask and kidnap ppl you hate. Just make your mark here.”
By lowering their standards they simply mean one question: pro or anti maga.
An ongoing National Security threat would choose to “undermine tracking threats to National Security.”
The model of greed and inefficiency.
Wow! He's slowly dismantling our government! Weakening our nation!
They just keep chipping away at what makes America great.
The only qualification Trump cares about is loyalty to him. He's completely unfit for office.
he's unfit to be a diaper tester...
Indoctrination.
Soon to be called Fat Boys Institute.
Because as a group his magas are too stupid to take the physical, mental and intellectual challenges required to be a high caliber FBI agent.
Trump is such a F***wit!🙄
Only the Trump administration could make people feel sorry for the FBI.
The new standard is: 1. Wants to own the Libs. 2. Believes Zelinski should’ve been more thankful. 3. Wants to arrest all Pedos, but believes Epstein killed himself, acted alone, and was convicted of sex trafficking but to no one specifically. B. Automatic admission for Jan 6ers.
He’s going to load it with kkk members

Lowering standards doesn’t sound like a good idea… Trump tried that with his cabinet and all we got were losers
🪳🤢🪳🤢🪳🤢🪳🤢
Duh, you think
It didn’t work for ICE or military. What the Hell makes them think it will work for the FBI?
It will match every incompetent MAGA idiot in this administration. Baboons could do a better job leading this country.
Yet another one of Trump’s initiatives destroying our national security apparatus. With limited counterintelligence, we will be ripe for abuse even after Trump leaves office.
Old school FBI will be reporting to the new Gen Z MAGA agents soon
That’s it. Lower the bar for everything. Diminish its value. Like MSM for example. #ETTD
It’s the Trump administration planning to ease FBI hiring rules, sparking concern among agents that this could weaken the agency’s ability to handle intricate cases and protect national security.
Hiring more Proud Boys I see.
Exactly! PB guys can’t meet the current standards.
They don’t need to worry. It will absolutely undermine the entire agency.
Again, they want stupid people around them.
Ah, the imperishable naivete of NYT headlines
Yep. Need to get those PBs in somehow 🙄
He’s forming his own authoritarian army. I predict that something weird is gonna happen before the mid-terms. 🖕🤨🖕
