The obvious answer to the question above is: EVERYONE! Or at least everyone who had not been indoctrinated into the Cult of Trump. And it didn’t really require much imagination. The predictions of certain calamity and chaos were ubiquitous among military and management professionals. In fact the notion that an incompetent, alcoholic, TV talking head like Hegseth could succeed was preposterous from the start. Even a devoted Trump-fluffer on Newsmax thought so.<\/p>\n

Last month it was revealed that he participated in a Signal chat with some Trump regime colleagues<\/a><\/strong> where he disclosed U.S. plans to attack Houthi rebels in Yemen. After getting caught leaking such sensitive information on an unsecure platform, Hegseth lied that he had done so, despite the documented evidence.<\/p>\n Making matters worse, on Monday it was reported that the incident above was not a one-off. According to NBC News<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used his personal phone to send information about U.S. military operations in Yemen to a 13-person Signal group chat, including his wife and his brother, two sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed to NBC News. He did so after an aide had warned him to be careful not to share sensitive information on an unsecure communications system before the Yemen operation, the sources said.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This new revelation has prompted more questions from the press about Hegseth’s alleged competence. And the Trump team is reacting in its typical manner by circling the wagons and denying reality. However, in this case, Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, may have said a bit too much. In response to a question by Brian Kilmeade on Fox News, Leavitt let loose insisting that…<\/p>\n “The president stands strongly behind Secretary Hegseth, who is doing a phenomenal job leading the Pentagon. And this is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and against the monumental change that you are trying to implement. […] Unfortunately, there have been people at that building who don’t like the change the Secretary is trying to bring, so they are leaking and they are lying to the mainstream media.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Leavitt: "The president stands strongly behind Secretary Hegseth … this is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change you are trying to implement. Secretary Hegseth was nominated because he's standing up for the warfighters."<\/p>\n — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)<\/a> 2025-04-21T14:17:35.963Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
