Dotard doesn’t have a great history with Sec of Defense guys, who HATE the incompetent ahole. Hegseth may be the FOX asskisser he’s always wanted. Just sickening….
Donald Trump had high hopes for his first defense secretary eight years ago, but the relationship between the then-president and James Mattis, a retired four-star Marine general, soured quickly. The more Mattis emphasized responsible decision-making and the importance of international alliances, the more Trump dismissed his Pentagon chief as “sort of a Democrat.”
In December 2018, not quite two years into his tenure, Mattis wrote a rather brutal resignation letter, calling into question Trump’s judgment, values and respect for American allies. In the process, the retired general became the first modern defense secretary to resign in protest.
The relationship between his successor and Trump was actually worse. In fact, Mark Esper, the Republican’s second defense secretary, ultimately took the extraordinary step of warning the American people that he considered Trump to be “unfit” for office, a national security threat, and a “threat to democracy.”
And now we have Pete Hegseth, the weekend guy on FOXNews who was run out of his last two management gigs, with Iraq War vets, for financial mismanagement, which he dealt with by drinking even more heavily.
Good luck! We’re gonna need it….
