So what about Ben ghazi
Nobody ever spends enough time talking about how good war is! \s
>Hegseth accused the “fake news” media of trying to “make the president look bad” by prominently reporting on the American combat deaths, which he described as “when a few drones get through, or something tragic happens.”
What were those soldiers thinking, dying in Trump’s war? They just handed the media fresh fodder to attack him with. The nerve.
And Karoline Leavitt just dropped this gem:
[Karoline Leavitt insists Trump had a ‘feeling based on fact’ before Iran strikes but still won’t detail imminent threat to US](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-iran-war-white-house-briefing-b2931933.html)
>“The president had a feeling, again, based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the United States was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons,” Leavitt added.
We don’t need this one incident to make Trump look bad. There’s lots of other stories. Like, oh….. fucking kids.
“I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad, but try for once to report the reality.”
Both of those things can be true and most of the time are true.
Trump needs no help looking bad.
Gomer Pyle, Secretary of Defense!
Hegseth is a fine ~~General~~ I mean ~~Lieutenant General~~ I mean ~~Brigadier General~~ I mean ~~Colonel~~ I mean ~~Lieutenant Colonel~~ I mean O-4 Major.
All the Generals look ~~up~~ down to him.
ah, no…trump looks bad without any additional help believe you me
It never ceases to amaze me just how selfish some people can be. Image getting yourself killed simply to generate a story negative toward Trump….
Colin Jost is going to have so much fun next Saturday.
Hegseth is such a piece of shit
This should be the bell that sounds to the entire us military to ignore every order given
Do they? Do the factual numbers being reported by the media make Trump look bad?
Then he looks bad.
Before or after raping actual children?
Benghazi called for you, Kegsbreth.
Does he also consider Memorial Day to be another attempt to make trump look bad?
Every day this evangelical cornball loser gives us a new D-tier supervillain speech filtered through chatGPT.
Does the maga base even find this appealing? Nobody is out there saying “Hegseth is my guy”, I can’t even imagine it.
Can’t make a convicted rapist and alleged paedophile look any worse. Fuck objective morality
If ever there was a derangement syndrome, it would be thinking that talking about killed troops in an illegal war made Trump ‘look bad.’
There isn’t anything shocking about Hegseth’s statement. This administration’s communication strategy is to make things up and attack the press. There will be no acknowledgment of mistakes. Everything Trump does is awesome.
And that’s what matters here. By the way, Trump doesn’t need any help to look bad.
THAT is trump derangement syndrome.
The magats need to go! Please fix it
Disrespecting fallen soldiers. He has no business being the secretary of defense
Pretty sure Trump “No New Wars” is already doing that with the, y’know, new war he started.
Yes, military deaths do look bad.
He already looks bad? He’s an orange turd. There will be parades when he’s gone
Ah yeah Pete. I guess dead soldiers aren’t the reality.
Because reporting the truth usually makes Trump look bad.
Imagine your son or daughter died fighting and the commander in chief complained he had to hear about it.
That we lost three f-15s to friendly fire in one day tells you everything you need to know about this shit show.
