Pentagon Pete Pathetically Panders to Trump at Suck-Up Summit

As the U.S. enters the second week of full-scale war with Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is spending his Saturday cracking jokes in the hopes of pleasing the president in South Florida.

Hegseth joined Trump at the “Shield of Americas Summit” at the president’s hotel in Doral, Florida, to launch the administration’s new “Western hemisphere” initiative. Trump put Kristi Noem in charge of the new side quest after he fired her from her role as Department of Homeland Security Secretary.
