Why Trump and Hegseth’s swagger leaves Washington’s ‘elite’ seething

[Dogmaphobe]

As far as results are concerned:

1) scam/con artists also get results
2) the end do not justify the means
3) our military capacity (#1 in the world) has been there for centuries. It is not because of Hegserh or Trump
4) the consequences of their actions is not beneficial to Americans
5) Hitler also got results
6) democracy has been thrown aside

Right on cue, it's that Hitler thing again.

Pentagon fires intelligence agency chief after Iran attack assessment​

US defense secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the Pentagon's intelligence agency chief, just weeks after a White House rebuke of a review assessing the impact of American strikes on Iran.
Lt Gen Jeffery Kruse will no longer serve as head of US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Pentagon said in a statement. Two other senior military commanders have also been ousted by the Pentagon.
The defense department has not offered any immediate explanation on the firings.
In June, President Donald Trump had pushed back strongly on a leaked DIA report that found that attacks on Iran had set back its nuclear program by months only. The White House declared the agency's assessment "flat out wrong".

GFY.

So, Hegseth rightly concluded that much of the threat the US faces abroad stems from the CS policies of these generals and correctly fired them for their poor advice.

Now, peace in the middle east is an actual possibility, while Rubio clearly states, so that even the likes of you can understand, what it is they are trying to accomplish, why they have to accomplish it, and correctly point the finger and the beta cucks in the Democart party and their disgusting display of a lack of gonads.

Try not to lie so much. Your life will at least feel better, in so much as any leftist can have a happy life. What with all their seething rage.

Sure Hegseth and Trump are men....who behave like men. (Duh)
They are not influenced by anyone whatsoever.

They are independent of any cultural noise made.
They simply know what they believe and why they believe it and are dedicated to it.

Hegseth? Hey, be his friend instead of an enemy and you wont have anything to fear from him whatsoever....IOW dont be a murderous tyrant or an agent of a tyrant.

Because he will figure out the most efficient and effective way to remove you and your toys from the earth....and make it happen.

Trump?
He drives hard bargains. Stand up and have solid reasons for why the deal must go your way. Dont make discounts you cant afford. Period.
He isn't unreasonable, just big headed and obnoxious.
So what? It's not a crime....just obnoxious. But he is respectful and respectable....until you start badmouthing him. Then it's just a game to him to make you furious....for entertainment purposes.


However,
My beef is that the man uses a chainsaw and axe when a scalpel and knife were called for. I understand why....his opposition used a 2" thick carpet when a lace doiley was necessary.

Democrats/Woke/Leftists have yet to consider and understand the deep, deep impact their wussy, unmanly policies and stances have taken on the younger generation.

Is the new measure of manliness dropping bombs on people floating around in small boats who have been proven to have done nothing against the US? Or killing US citizens for protesting in MN?

It's not this

 

[berg80]

And we see who gets results

The problem being the regime doesn't seem to know what result it wants and has no idea what result it will get.

Is it killing approximately 73K men, women, and children in Gaza? Is it cutting off healthcare to millions of Americans? Just how insecure are you?

The rest of us are wondering how these two idiots, made out of high school.

Is killing 40k of your own people pretty insecure?

The political class and their lapdogs in the corrupt media have spun countless false narratives, lies and propaganda to hide that they have screwed over the people to line their own greedy pockets.

Trump is tearing down the walls and they hate his guts for it.

1. They trade our jobs and industries to foreign countries to line their own pockets, then tell us tough luck, those jobs are not coming back. WRONG, Trump proves them wrong and now their corruption is laid bare.

2. They tell us sorry, nothing we can do about the border and illegals unless we get legislation from congress. WRONG, Trump proves them wrong and closes the border in a matter of weeks.

3. Yes there's hundreds of billions in government fraud, but there's nothing we can do. While they skim off the fraud. WRONG, Trump proves them wrong and makes them squeal like the corrupt stuck pigs that they are.

4. There's nothing we can do about Iran, our hands are tied, we are kaput. WRONG, Trump proves them wrong and now they have severe embarrassed butthurt.

Our trade gap is pretty much the same. We’re paying more for imports

The border is not closed.

Fraud is still taking place or do you really think the billions spent on SSD are for people who are actually disabled?

We supposedly wiped out Irans nukes 8 months ago. Apparently that was a lie told by your blob. Why would you believe him now?

Why Trump and Hegseth’s swagger leaves Washington’s ‘elite’ seething

The Washington establishment’s view of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump as buffoons and cartoons is a reflection of its own insecurity.

2 Mar 2026 ~~ By Glenn Harlan Reynolds


When you’ve constructed a cartoon version of the world in your mind, what do you do when reality proves it wrong?
If you’re the leftist establishment, you certainly don’t rethink your assumptions.
Late Friday, New York Times columnist David French snarkily referred to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as a “walking MAGA caricature” on X.
Four hours later, Hegseth’s troops were pounding Iran in an intricate series of strikes that left its evil regime reeling.
The response to French — who has not withdrawn his sneer — was unsympathetic.
My favorite: “Let’s have a contest . . . you and Pete show up at Fort Bragg, see who the troops respect more.”
Is Hegseth a caricature?
To French and his ilk, maybe; but to many others, he’s a guy who gets results.
Presumably a 1945 David French would have considered Gen. George S. Patton a caricature, too.
But the thing is, like Patton, Hegseth not only talks tough, and acts tough; he is tough.
The raids on Iranian nuclear plants, the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from within his nation’s largest military base, the destruction of Ayatollah Khamenei and his senior leadership — all were masterstrokes of military planning and execution.
“We didn’t start this war,” Hegseth declared Monday, “but we are finishing it.”
~Snip~
But leftists at home and abroad continue to see Trump, like Hegseth, as nothing but an immature, strutting, macho caricature.
Their war on “toxic masculinity” means that they see pretty much any sign of effectiveness and self-confidence as strutting, macho immaturity — at least when displayed by straight white males.
That’s a recipe for national failure.
Historically, leaders who speak straightforwardly, show self-confidence and lead effectively are, well, good leaders.
“Leaders” who complain that the world is complicated and they can’t do much about its problems aren’t.
They gave us “forever wars” instead of victories — not only in conflicts with foreign enemies, but in wars against poverty, homelessness, “climate change” and the like.
Trump just does things, and they work.
At base, the establishment view of Trump et al. as buffoons and cartoons is a reflection of its own insecurity.
As commentator William Wolf observed on X, “The fact that a billionaire real estate playboy who liked to slap his name on steaks and wine has proven to be a better diplomat and military strategist than every other politician and foreign policy expert over the last 30 years is such a damning indictment of the DC establishment I honestly don’t know how they recover.”
Easier for them to pretend that Trump is nothing but an impetuous child.


Commentary:
People like David French and Democrats never reconsider. Their politics IS their identity. Most are atheists. They have no spiritual belief systems. Most are addicted to virtue signaling yet never reconsider their beliefs when time proves their policies backfire.
Just consider their policy and stance is to defy Trump by blocking DHS, I’d say it is backfiring.
As far as Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio are concerned. These men have always had the qualities and potential to be great. Trump in his wisdom just gave them the opportunity to use their intelligence and potential to it's fullest and it's working...

And we see who gets results

Who, are you calling what is going on, now, results?

 

[ElmerMudd]

That describes most democrats

The old "I know you are, what am I" retort.
C'mon you have to do better than that.

 

[scruffy]

Some call it swagger, most call it arrogant stupidity.

I want some swag! Where can I get some?

 

[ElmerMudd]

Democrats are petrified because Trump's policies and the people he has chosen to implement them are doing fabulously. Democrats prefer policies that preserve their $ and power, even if it means the end of Democracy in this country. Totalitarian Democrats are scared to death because Trump is giving America and the free world victories that they could never achieve. But there are still far too many low intelligence people that will follow the ridiculous Democrat propaganda, at the expense of the free world.

You are not living in the real world. Many MAGA members know you are bullshitting.

 

[Doc7505]

It is Doc, after all.

<~~~~~~~~~~>
Indeed, I notice that today Democrats and their sheep are saying that Bibi Netanyahu is leading Trump around, yet two weeks again it was Putin.
You guys just can't get your stories straight or together.
Trump is his own man and no one leads him.
