Trump promotes former Secret Service agent Bongino as FBI director, even terrifying master of horror Stephen King? Delete past mutual quarrels and posts?
Trump has appointed former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who has become a well-known conservative podcaster, as the FBI director. Dan Bongino was appointed by Director Kash Patel to be the next deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, second only to FBI Director Kash Patel. He was heavily praised by Trump as a person full of love and passion for the country. Horror master Stephen King ( Stephen King ) once exchanged insults with Dan Bongino on X, and now Dan Bongino is about to take office as FBI Deputy Director. Netizens have discovered that the master seems to have deleted his past posts, arousing curiosity from the media about Bongino, who was a former agent and rose several levels to become the deputy director of the bureau.
Who is Dan Bongino?
Dan Bongino is an Italian-American born and raised in Queens, New York, with a master's degree in psychology from the City University of New York, and later pursued a master's degree in business administration from Pennsylvania State University.
He served as a grassroots police officer in the New York City Police Department from 1995 to 1999, and then transferred to the United States Secret Service from 1999 to 2011 to serve as a special agent. Trump specifically mentioned that he was an outstanding and respected agent.
In 2002, he left the New York field office and became an instructor at the Beltsville Training Academy in Maryland. In 2006, during President Bush's second term, he was assigned to the Presidential Protection Division. After President Obama succeeded President Bush, he continued to be responsible for protecting Obama, and he has served both Republican and Democratic presidents.
But perhaps the most noteworthy is Bogino, who can be said to be a combination of civil and martial virtues. He has published a memoir, Life Inside the Bubble, which narrates his career as a Secret Service agent and political campaigns. This book particularly emphasizes his experiences protecting Presidents Bush and Obama, investigating crimes, and launching a campaign for the U.S. Senate.
In 2019, Bongino published The Failed Takedown of President Donald Trump by the Swamp, which once topped the New York Times bestseller list. This former special agent is also a bestselling author who knows how to pave the way for his own future.
The Beef Battle between Bongino and Stephen King
Stephen King is the best-selling author in the United States, especially known for his many horror films. Several of his works have been adapted into movies, including Ghost Store, The Shawshank Redemption adapted from the 1985 novella, Carrie, and the upcoming film Stephen King's Monkey. Stephen King is a supporter of the Democratic Party, and he and Bongino once exchanged insults on X.
According to a report by News Week, a screenshot shared by a user shows a scene of Stephen Kin and Bongino arguing in May 2023. Bongino once commented that Biden is a 'disgrace to humanity.' Steven Kin countered with a smiling face emoji, saying: Yes, but he has a real job, not just a podcaster. Bongino, who transitioned from a secret agent to a podcaster, was mocked by a major writer.
Bongino fires back at Terror Master Beef: Yeah! There are millions of listeners on the Podcast every day, when you watch porn in your mom's basement thinking someone is watching you, the response is great! Piece of shit! Pick someone who is unemployed!
Due to Stephen King's fame, Bongino's post sparked a lot of discussion, with some questioning if he is unaware of who Stephen King is. Stephen King has since deleted the original post. The horror master had been away from X for a while, but recently returned. With Bongino being promoted to FBI director, their past beef is once again a topic of discussion.
