Huffington Post: Donald Trump Makes Eye-Rolling New Title Suggestion For Pete Hegseth

The president’s throwback title idea went awry.

Donald Trump on Wednesday raised eyebrows with a controversial suggestion to rename the secretary of defense position as secretary of war.

Speaking at a NATO meeting in The Netherlands, Trump introduced Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by saying:

“Secretary of state and secretary of war. Shall we say secretary… It used to be called secretary of war. Maybe for a couple of weeks we’ll call it that because we feel like warriors.”

He continued:

“It used to be called secretary of war, in fact if you look at the old building next to the White House, you can see where it used to be secretary of war. Then we became politically correct and they called it secretary of defense. I don’t know, maybe we’ll have to start thinking about changing it but we feel that way.”

Great warriors indeed! A draft dodger and an O-3 washout! 😀

Huffington Post: Cringe Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt Clip Perfectly Sums Up Trump’s White House, Say Critics

A moment from White House press secretary Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt’s Tuesday briefing is going viral, with critics saying it perfectly encapsulates the Trump White House’s approach to foreign affairs.

[Bimbo #1] Leavitt was asked if the White House had a response to the presidential election in South Korea, where liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung defeated conservative rival Kim Moon Soo.

“Yes, we do. In fact. Let me find it here for you,” [Bimbo #1] Leavitt said, flipping through a binder in front of her.

“Should be somewhere here,” she said, still flipping through.

After a pause and more shuffling, she added: “Hmm. We do not.”

She laughed awkwardly as she said, “But I will get you one,” before abruptly moving on to a new question from another reporter.

The clip quickly gained traction on social media.

Critics said it showcased the Trump administration’s lack of preparation and attention to world events.

“A total clown show,” remarked the Republicans Against Trump group.

Miami Herald: Kristi Noem’s ‘Unprofessional’ Post Draws Backlash

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has sparked controversy by posting the message “Suck it” on her official social media account alongside a screenshot of a court filing confirming the voluntary dismissal of a lawsuit. The remark followed the ACLU’s dismissal of a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s plan to transfer detained migrants to Guantánamo Bay. Critics have since criticized Noem’s leadership and her repeated focus on media engagement.

The lawsuit was dropped after several plaintiffs were deported or declined to continue. Critics have scrutinized Noem’s leadership under Trump, arguing that her media presence undermines her professional responsibilities.

One X user wrote, “How unprofessional. But I don’t expect anything less from someone who shoots puppies.”

Don’t forget her poor goat. She shot her goat, too!
