"Trump Jr.: Former Hegseth aide who described ‘chaos’ now ‘exiled’ from MAGA movement"

"On Wednesday, Hegseth told the press that the military was done with “woke bullshit” and that he is “laser focused on our mission of warfighting.”

"Trump Jr.: Former Hegseth aide who described ‘chaos’ now ‘exiled’ from MAGA movement"

Posted By Rod Kaufman
That'll teach 'em!

"Donald Trump Jr. said Monday that the former Pentagon official who publicly detailed the department’s “chaos” under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s leadership in a new op-ed is “officially exiled” from President Trump’s political movement."

“This guy is not America First,” Trump Jr. wrote on social platform X."


“He’s officially exiled from our movement,” Trump Jr. added."

"The president’s son was responding to a Politico Magazine op-ed Sunday from John Ullyot, who served as the acting assistant to Hegseth for public affairs before resigning last week. In the piece, Ullyot detailed the “total chaos at the Pentagon,” saying “the building is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership” and that Trump deserves better from his senior leaders."

LOL!!!

The markets are up because they're betting he won't do what he said he'd do with the tariffs!  The markets had dropped a total of 5000 points because of his tariff plans, the worst drop since the great depression! And the last I looked, they're still down a total of around 3000 from their previous highs before his tariff insanity became known...

Still, I remain hopeful that the market will do OK over the next four years, in spite of Trump.  "OK" but "not great" would be a fine outcome in my opinion.  Here is where Rod shows up to tell me how wrong I am.  Rod has been right about a lot of things lately!

I think the Trump "JD" Putin-commie just needs to chill out and read this:

"Trump Lashes Out at Rupert Murdoch Over Fox News’ ‘Trump Hating, Fake Pollster’ After Survey Reveals Record-Low Approval Ratings"
"President also calls on media mogul to make changes at Wall Street Journal: 'It sucks'"

https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/trump-rupert-murdoch-fox-news-poll-record-low-approval-1236377066/

Ya see, it's just fake news! 

BTW, whatcha think of China calling Trump's claims of their supposed trade talks as "fake news?"  

Oh, and you're remodeling your bathroom? Did you make your choice yet between a new Ford F150 or a Dodge Ram since you, like Marjorie Taylor Green, made a killing in the market?

It’s been a brutal April. Yeah, they’ll claim it was worse in 2022. That was due to the pandemic and the previous guys handling of it.
Sorry guys, we all got it wrong, Secretary of the Treasury, SCOTT BESSENT, says the losses in the stock market are "ALL MEDIA DRIVEN."

"Secretary Scott Bessent of the Department of the Treasury said Sunday that concerns over the stock market are driven by the press."

"He told ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz during an interview on the network that, as an example, there was a story published earlier this month about how this month was the worst April for the market since the Great Depression. There haven’t been any follow-up articles on how the market has improved in the past couple of weeks though, according to Bessent."

This is the same guy who reportedly had a chest to chest, eyeball to eyeball, shouting match with Elon Musk last week, and in earshot of the visiting Italian prime minister as she listened to then yelling F---you to each other...

True, but the Dems were complaining about their own messaging, not that of the media. I'm sure they probably took some pot shots at Faux (and likely deservedly so) but, ultimately, they blamed themselves not only for their messaging but for the loss itself.

Current GOP Strategy: Hide From Your Constituents!

Posted By Rod Kaufman
The other current GOP strategy: "STRATEGIC UNCERTAINTY"

Treasury Secretary Scott Bisset went on ABC news to claim, with a straight face, that Trump's tariffs are all part of a master plan called "strategic uncertainty" in order to negotiate the best deals, and, according to him, nobody is better at creating that strategic uncertainty than Donald Trump!

If you believe him I gotta another bridge to sell...
