U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to keep hold of his position for much longer, the Pentagon's former top spokesperson has said, as the Department of Defense contends with "total chaos" in the wake of further reported leaks of sensitive military information and high-profile firings. "It's hard to see Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth remaining in his role for much longer," former Pentagon spokesperson, John Ullyot, said in an opinion piece penned for Politico, published on Sunday. Ullyot resigned from his position at the Department of Defense's top spokesperson last week. Ullyot said the Pentagon's most senior ranks were "near collapse," and accused Department of Defense officials close to Hegseth of launching "smear" campaigns against three senior staffers fired earlier this month. "In short, the building is in disarray under Hegseth's leadership," Ullyot said.

Good riddence.

The problem is that more likely than not, Trump will find and nominate someone even worse than Hegseth.

He's clearly in way over his head but, as you said, I highly doubt his replacement will be much better. Perhaps a better administrator but still a 100% MAGA sycophant.

 

[Slartibartfast]

That's "merit" hiring folks.

Just a total, utter dipshit - and all-around bad guy.

 

[OrphanSlug]

I'll believe it when I see it, but in the other thread on Hegseth I did suggest we put an over/under, likely in days.

 

[daeler]

He never should have had the job in the first place.

 

[Loulit01]

Trump loves to fire people. Hegseth will be gone by next Monday. His replacement is rumored to be Mike the Pillow Guy.

The knives do seem to be out…..

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Too much HDS - Hegseth Derangement Syndrome.

Come on Righties, pick up the refrain..............

HDS, HDS, HDS, come on, everyone join in, HDS, HDS, HDS

AND can I get at least one................ whatabout Joe Biden?

The ex DOD person doesn't understand Trump. As long as Hegseth kisses ass well, he will have a job.

 

[panic buyer]

Am I the only person that Pete hasnt included on a top secret chat ?
I am completely random so I dont know why I have been missed out.

In defence of Pete it shows that he is not all bad and that he can do professional when he is sober.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Too incompetent even to be on Trump's team?

But Pete kisses ass so well and has the same level of respect for women as His Majesty!

(In all seriousness, I wonder if his drinking habits will contribute to his downfall, given that Donald's a teetotaller.)

Wishful thinking. Hegseth is not going anywhere. Trump only fires people for not following along with his lies.

 

[Rexedgar]

Here’s Hegseth’s denial.

 

[Airyaman]

Lol.

 

[watsup]

Here’s Hegseth’s denial.

Hegseth is such a child.

 

[dmpi]

Redemption is the ultimate story... but this guy ain't it. I think it's time for him to go.

 

[Visbek]

I would be glad to hear that he's getting bounced. However, I have a bad feeling that whoever they get to replace him will be just as awful and incompetent.

He always can go back to his old job as weekend host on FOX. He really was over his head in that job too.

 

[uptower]

Who didn't see this coming? Trump has hired an even less competent cabinet this term. The resignations and recriminations will be worse than last time.

At least Pete can go back to yapping on Fox...

Donald's demonic little imp will be along shortly to explain the difference.
