The past three months have shown that if a problem surfaces within the Trump Administration, it is almost invariably worse than it seems.
Few examples better illustrate this than the current troubles of our Defense Department Ken: Pete Hegseth. (Proud of yourselves, Princeton?)
Not only did Hegseth’s role in Signalgate 1.0, in which he recklessly shared top secret information that put U.S. troops at risk, lead to Signalgate 2.0, in which he did the very same thing in the very same really dumb and dangerous way, but these two transgressions have occurred alongside multiple other examples of scandal and chaos within the defense department that all can be traced to the blundering of Hegseth himself.
