Can anyone believe that sycophant Hegseth would go against Trump or that Trump would tell the truth anyway? Norrrm Jul 10 #1

I can believe that Hegseth would mess up (again), but I can also believe TFG would cover for him Rhiannon12866 Jul 10 #2

We can hope, but wouldn't it be more humiliating to fire his Fox "News" hero that he's defended? Rhiannon12866 Jul 10 #4

Yeah. He'll probably blame the messengers instead. C_U_L8R Jul 10 #5

That Hegseth has not come forward to say 'he did it'.
Instead, he stood back quietly and let Trump look ridiculous and weak before the press.
A fragile narcissist like Trump will extract retribution one way or another.
This guy is toast.

That one reporter did an artful job of boxing Trump in with two concise questions.
