“Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe. He was a great student – Princeton/Harvard educated – with a Military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense Defense, one who leads with charisma and skill. Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!” posted convicted felon President-Elect Trump on Friday, evidently determined to see Hegseth through to the end where senators have to go on record with whether or not they want to hand the keys to the world’s most powerful military to an alcoholic who was fired from two astroturfed political campaign groups, blew up two marriages with his drunken whoring, has a Neo-Nazi slogan tattooed on his arm, paid off a rape accuser, and had his mom make phone calls to vouch for his character.

Was looking pretty touch-and-go there for a few days, but it’s clear that – until he does something stupid to piss off the Orange Autocrat and/or some billionaire Mar-a-Lago member who never served in the military buys a shit ton of worthless digital tokens from the Trump crypto exchange as part of his pitch to run the Pentagon – Pete Hegseth is still King Donald’s man for the job. For now.

Thank you Mr. President. Like you, we will never back down. pic.twitter.com/cTNKUfaf83

Hegseth needed some extra hand lotion and Kleenex after seeing the tentatively supportive tweet.
