The President knows what is going on. He has seen it many times before.
Deep State vs Real State: A game where inherently predictable unsportsmanlike conduct by Deep State can only work against them, while Real State can afford to play a clean game with a superior playbook. It’s a home game for Real State and the vast majority of the seats are filled with it’s fans and supporters. When it’s all over, we finish it by signing the ball and presenting it to the owner(s) of the losing team. We’ll be indivisible!...With Liberty, Justice and Free Beer for all.
So when the Deep State’s favorite journalistic courtesans are back to titillating the public with news of Hegseth’s imminent demise, discerning Americans assume that Trump’s secretary of Defense must be doing something right. Could the Deep State be mad that Hegseth is purging the military of discriminatory D-I-E initiatives that prioritize racial and sexual identities over competence, hard work, and merit? Is it mad that he’s successfully rebuilding a warrior culture that is attracting new recruits in record numbers? Is it mad that he’s prioritizing America’s hemispheric security over nuclear-tipped civil war in Ukraine? Is it mad that he follows President Trump’s orders and expects his subordinates to do the same? Is it mad that Secretary Hegseth puts America First?
Easy answer: Yes.
