Fox News Lackey, 25, Is Running Trump’s 79th Birthday Parade

A 25-year-old former Fox & Friends producer has been tasked with overseeing President Donald Trump’s lavish military parade and putting on an even bigger bash next year: America’s 250th birthday.

Ariel Abergel graduated from college in 2021, briefly worked at the White House during Trump’s first term, and cut his teeth as a young producer on the popular morning show that catapulted the career of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

In an Instagram post marking his departure from Fox earlier this year, Steve Doocy reminisced about a trip they had taken through snowy Iowa, affectionately referring to him as “Ari the driver” and “an actual friend and wonderful producer.”

Now, he’s the executive director of America250, an initiative that was set up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 next year.

1. Can't wait to see what he does next year for the 250th anniversary.

2. Donald may have to find someone

to fire him.

3. Yes the young man should update his resume.

But leave off the part about being in charge of the failure parade.

4. I remember the Bicentennial. It was spectacular!

Trump will fuck this up by the numbers. Instead of red white and blue, we’ll get gold, glitz and grift.

5. After what went on at this year's big bash, I can't imagine there even being a military parade at all next year.

The message was clearly sent. Americans aren't interested.

6. Is he the one who approved Fortunate Son to be played?
