I did not expect to be defending Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but after a critic wrote: "The Pentagon is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership. The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership” I have to disagree.

No, Pres. Trump does not deserve better. Trump deserves problems that discredit his criminal, chaotic, and destructive Administration.

Tommy Vietor: "It seems like a big problem that our completely unqualified Fox News weekend anchor turned Secretary of Defense* has fired everyone on his team, leaving the Pentagon in chaos."

After Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth punished his top people, he is "without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser." The word for this is #mismanagement. “There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary’s leadership”:

Trump's tariffs let Trump corruptly enrich himself while ruining America's relationships with other nations. Solving these new problems should be the top priority of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but instead: "State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’.":

#Trump has only been in office two months and we're already heading towards a #recession — largely due to his careless use of #tariffs and #mismanagement of the #economy. This shouldn't be surprising. Trump doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every #business he ever touched. Watch.

Telekom-Tochter T-Mobile beugt sich Donald Trump und gibt alle Diversitäts-Initiativen auf - scharfe Kritik von den Grünen

Diversität, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion - Donald Trump sagt diesen Themen den Kampf an. Zumindest verbietet er Behörden entsprechende Programme. Privatfirmen sollen dem folgen. T-Mobile reiht sich ein - und bekommt sogleich grünes Licht für eine Übernahme.
