Trump Insider Reveals ‘Nobody’ Is Talking to Hegseth as Iran Crisis Spirals https://share.google/9og6uya66L3PNIEg6

An unnamed U.S. official told The Washington Post that the president is instead turning to a couple of four-star generals for guidance on whether to join Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, with the head of the Pentagon being largely left out.
“Nobody is talking to Hegseth,” the official said. “There is no interface operationally between Hegseth and the White House at all.”

1. I guess it's a really good thing

That, "There is no interface operationally (what?) between Hegseth and the White House at all".

[Lovie777]

2. Who are the 4 generals?...

hopefully not complete RWers and shithole will still do his own thing since he feels he’s the smartest person ever.

3. that Kurilla guy

[Crunchy Frog]

4. He was always just a figurehead anyway.

[Attilatheblond]

17. More like a 'poster boy'. Just an image of what Trump wanted to portray

It's all marketing with Trump.

[Harker]

22. I was thinking 'hood ornament', but 'poster boy' and 'figurehead' work.

[Attilatheblond]

24. LOL at image of him posing on the hood of the Tesla Trump 'bought' at that White House Auto show.

5. King Taco's cabinet picks are there for only two reasons:

1) Do whatever they can to dismantle the department they're in charge of;
2) Kiss his well-padded rump at every opportunity.

Not necessarily in that order.

[thought crime]

15. They also serve as scapegoats when Trump fails.

[democrank]

6. Hegseth should be stuffed on a bus and pointed toward home.

He is one of the most unqualified cabinet picks in American history.

13. Right up there with Noem and Kennedy.

[atreides1]

26. Darn

I was hoping we could point him towards the sun...on one of Elon's rockets!

[Dock_Yard]

30. No need to even launch Elon's rocket towards the sun

Just stuff Hogsbreath into the payload box,
then wait for the inevitable pre-launch explosion.

7. I guess that means Donny is telling the generals what he thinks they should do,

and they are desperately trying to come up with ways to disagree with him without using the words “idiot” or “moron”?

[mwb970]

8. I wouldn't talk to him either.

I might just as well ask my cat about Iran.

[eShirl]

9. "Loose Lips" Kegsbreath

of course nobody wants him in the loop

[live love laugh]

10. Hegseth is about to find out he was used like most sycophants.

His downward alcoholic spiral should be fun to watch.

[spanone]

11. He knows more than anyone on anything. Just ask him.

[Swede]

12. "Hey Pete, run out and get us a case of beer."

"Oh, wait. Nevermind."

[mdbl]

14. You mean he's not seeking advice from a Fox News Drunk?

[travelingthrulife]

16. Do we still have to pay him? Trump bigly mad at him for the parade fiasco.

[DFW]

18. Understandable

After all, even if they aren’t the brightest stars in the constellation, every one of them can probably find Israel and Iran on a map. Trump’s knowledge of the extent of their proximity probably extends no further than how close they are in an English language atlas index.

[Nanjeanne]

19. Trump DISCUSSING Military Strategy with anyone is an oxymoron.

[patphil]

20. At least they're smart enough to know that Hegseth is not able to do his job.

The problem is that Trump wasn't smart enough to realize it before he nominated him for the position.
But then, you could say that about each and every one of his cabinet picks.
What I'm seeing is a president slip sliding away into dementia. his energy is dropping off, as is his attention span. I give him about a year before he's unable to make public appearances. The Republicans will keep him in as a figure head to keep his base together, but eventually they will either have to go with Vance, or rule by committee.
The real power in this administration needs to have their positions consolidated so they can safely anoint Trump's successor, and prepare the nation for the next "fearless leader".

21. if hegseth was

a real man... he would resign

[moniss]

23. "Dry Heaves" Hegseth

wasn't put in the job for what he knows he is only there to do what he's told.

[Karasu]

25. There is NO foreign policy in this juvenile piece of shit regime. No experience. No credibility.

It's a fucking joke and a clear and present threat to global stability.

[Marcuse]

29. He didn't know about Von Staffenberg, et al.
