Hegseth: Typical Trump. All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. This is a guy who said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments

drumpf has been all hat and no cattle for the his entire miserable excuse for a life. The only thing he didn't affect is Tiffany who stays away as much as possible. Stay strong, Tiff!
Snakes eating their tails. Let's hope they are so back biting each other that the damage they are proposing is minimal. Also an opportunity for democrats to grow a pair and get organized.
This. 45 & his backers must have some big dirt-digging connections. What monstrous skeletons do Graham, Cruz, Rubio, et al. have? One day, the truth will prevail.
I wonder how much Americans care about any of this if they themselves are this way. In other words, are WE the oddball here regardless of whether we have a valid moral argument or not.
The media’s knee jerk response to the pardon demonstrates the fecklessly lazy and contrived journalism media outlets have devolved to. If only this same energy went into reporting Trump infractions (they instead normalized for years.) Let’s start with the credible rape allegations by his first wife…
You can find similar commentary from almost every republican in tRump orbit. Once they saw the people behind him they cut back like Barry Sanders in his prime. They're far more interested in power than principal.
Sadly, this, possibly the one time he spoke truth in years, is the thing that might do him in at Trump world, not all of the sexual predation, drunkenness, or insane statements.
I know that video was from 8 years ago, but how do you go from criticizing him to kissing his ass. I'm trying to figure out what kind of brain washing they doing. It's like the Invasion of the Body Snatchers or something.
I still can’t figure it out. Blackmail makes sense. But what sin/offense/crime could be bad enough these days to cause anyone to debase themselves so hideously to keep it hidden? So not blackmail. Money? Nahh. Body Snatchers? Most likely.
Yes.
The sex assault, financial crimes, white supremacy, etc.
All will be blamed on alcohol.
Kinda like when a hardcore GQP is found to be gay or having problems with young men.
Republicans seem to stand for nothing and fall for anything. They have no integrity, no morals, no values. Everything is subject to change in service to Trump.
Not true all the time.. just 98.6 % of the time…they go after BC cause of dubious legal activity while they look a way from clear crimes an electoral victory will never undo.
Didn’t Trumputin accept a purple heart from a veteran for his complaint of ‘mistreatment’? Seems like he wants the idolization of but can’t do the work. What a loser.
I disagree, Hegseth's characterization of Trump's toughness is unfair and misrepresents his military record. Trump's experiences in Vietnam are well-documented and should be respected.
10 Nov 1972, Chu Lai. 1Lt Donald J Trump, on patrol with his platoon, realizes that Spec4 Jesus Garcia is walking point and it is his birthday. Trump quietly moves Garcia to a more protected position and takes the lead himself. It’s little things like this that make him special.
Does seem like he gets some sadistic glee out of it. Also gives narcissists even more leverage, since they can point to your former disloyalty as a weak point every time you have a flight of conscience.
I did wonder about this, given he is so vindictive and holds a grudge but you're right I think it feeds his narcissism and lust for power to see old critics bowing and scraping before him. Like he's conquered them.
Trump is selecting people who have not earned their way to the top. He also like a certain appearance that Fox news also likes. He likes if the person is vulnerable so easily manipulated. Much like Trump himself is beholden to Putin.
Given the number of people in his previous administration who quit, or who he fired, and the number of grossly unqualified nominees for positions right now, I am beginning to think that Trump may be a terrible judge of character. A man whose specialty is fooling people is easily duped. Go figure.
This is fantastic. I love how almost everyone in Trump's circle hated him or called out his complete incompetence at some point in the not-so-distant past. It truly highlights the lengths some will go for power. They will literally say and do anything.
It appears that Trump has given up all his past pride of “just him” and focusing on his most loyalists and inside circle. This happens when someone realizes that he has real medical issues and he can’t rely on Institutionalism. If this is true, many of his opportunistic loyalists will stab him.
Ohhh yes. Republican hated Trump but now love him. Find one who loved him from the start then you’ll have news. Otherwise it’s a circle jerk where we all get trapped. Maybe a local level shows hypocrisy but nationally it is where we’ve been since 2015. Trump is scum but that isn’t the issue now
It's quite easy to pinpoint the cult-washing of these opportunistic maga boys. They were all talk early on but changed their stance to get on the gravy train. Wow, how quickly they discarded their values & convictions.
He's an idiot. Four of those deferments were II-S student deferments which every young man in college took unless he was on a ROTC scholarship. Many enlisted after graduation. There are people buried at Arlington who took II-S deferments.
It was the phony note for that fifth one you should discuss
"wait, wait, wait ... I said those things before I got to know Trump. Im certain he would have beaten the entire NVA Army by himself if he didnt have bone spurs"
Airman in Korea told me he considered himself pretty liberal, but would always vote Republican because they were “for guys like him” and would always support a big military budget. He wasn’t wrong. Also, a SHIT ton of Vets were at the Capitol on 1/6, and are assoc w/White Nationalist groups.
I’d ask my neighbor, who hung up a “Take America Back” 2024 flag next to his veteran flag—on Halloween, no less—except I lost any respect I had for him that night.
But how many times have we seen this? A Republican speaks his born her mind about Trump at some point, only to roll (bend?) over and take a ticket to the circus when they get a chance. It should tell us all we need to know: that the right most of them are spineless, power hungry fools.
Instead of focusing on Donnie's cabinet picks like rapist hegseth and Gestapo Patel, rapist McMahon and the rest, distract his pathetic cult with HUNTER. This is all like a chess game. Keep them distracted while you move the pieces to protect the king. Keep your eye on those Instead of the pawn.
Honest to God, how empty/venal do you have to be to want to hire people who hate you? Does Trump get off on making these folks grovel to his Mightiness or something? No surprise there...
Parachute Hegseth and Trump into Iran, and in 24 hours Iran surrenders. The slaughter from folks laughing themselves to death at the sight of these two dressed as Rambo, would overwhelm them.
And then, thinking he was having another Mojito at Marge-A-Lardo, realized he had been slipped a glass of Traitor Tot koolaid and dropped to his knees and kissed the mushroom. MAGA, baby.
These kinds of clips are far more damning to Hegseth’s candidacy for DoD than any of his problematic private behavior because he is criticizing the only audience that matters
Not going to underestimate the value of the public backlash, evidence, and a mom’s disapproval contributing to this, but watching them throw each other under the bus is delicious.
The thing Donnie doesn't realize about these people is that they will flatter in the name of their own lust for power. I think most if not all of them still hate him and would sell him out for $1.
It's interesting to me how Donnie is surrounding himself with people who absolutely hate him. He's too prideful, incurious, and downright stupid to see flattery in the service of a lust for power for what it is.
Hey Pete, dry out for a month and we'll make sure you fall off the wagon onto the gravy train. You can puke on a Lieutenant General because that's civilian control of the military! We'll even have a console installed so you can fire off drone strikes day and night from your man cave!

Or not. JD Vance called him America’s Hitler and he’ll be a heartbeat from the presidency next month.
I love how Republicans forget this thing exists.
This just does not happen as much outside the donald trump bubble.

And served nobody but himself for the rest of his life.
Typical egotistical, pathological Little Trump. 😼
This show is labeled "comedy", but at this point it might just be factual.
Say what you will, but these guys are flexible!

Ron DeSantis instead. 😫

That's the sinker.
All talk no F’ing walk..🤓
Every single one of them.
They lie to themselves and to the American people even more than the Oragetan.

Including family.
Good grief
Pete, oh Pete.
Some friendly advice- You are SCREWED. Bow out tonight. You will soon be out of a Fox News job as well.
