This is a pretty outstanding Dipshit Move, even by the standards of Trump. And a good 90% of his actions seem stupid to the point of being actively malicious anyways.

Why the fuck would a good candidate for Secretary of Defense have any serious opinion on foreign policy.
Don't miss that red flag among all the others.
Trumpets don't value knowledge. They value commitment and loyalty and the ability to blame others.
He’s clearly an accelerationist. Rebuilding the temple on the Mount is a requirement for Jesus to come back and kick off biblical Armageddon.
Trump has surrounded himself with insane people who are hell-bent on destroying the world so they can be raptured. Choosing people for these roles who openly say shit like this further proves that is their actual plan.
They want to destroy the world and jumpstart their revelations prophecy. They don’t give a shit what happens to the rest of us.
Russia’s investment really paying off!
They said russia lost the cold war. Well when america is sold for scraps to putin, who is the winner then?
Y'all better have some contingency plans in place to prevent him for doing well...anything
Eh, the military will probably coup before submitting to Stalin-esque purges.
That isn't a particularly good thing. Coups are like Lay's and Pringles... You can't just have one and once you pop you just can't stop.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a recent (<100y) example that didn't result in a junta or other coups, and I'm drawing a blank.
Put in a clown, you get a fucking circus.
If that stuns you...just wait. The next 4 maybe more years should be VERY stunning.
Was hegseth chosen for his skin colour or his soul. I guess we'll never know
His professed loyalty to Trump. There is nothing else now.
