President-elect Donald Trump firmly threw his full support behind Pete Hegseth on Friday, making clear he is still his pick to “be a fantastic, high-energy Secretary of Defense.”

“Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, denying reports he was reconsidering his pick.

I want to see the RINO senators attempt to vote against a decorated veteran. If they do they will lose their primary in a blowout. I

It’s about time Trump loudly and clearly spoke up about Pete.
No one can guarantee approval, but please do fight for your worthy nominees. He did this for both Kavanaugh and the other Supreme Court Judge, not that they can be depended on to vote conservative, but that’s always a gamble with any judge.

Excellent.

If they get Hegseth, they’ll never stop.

With that move, Joanie Ernst should be denied absolutely any appointment whatsoever.

I don’t even want her considered for Northeast Idaho Turnip Inspector.

What the hell is Ernst’s problem? I used to think she was on our side. Now she’s gone full Murkowski on us. She acts like she been hanging out with Cheney and the girls from the ice cold northern states.

Trump needs to stand firm on Hegseth. They smell blood in the water, after Gaetz, and are going to keep this up.
Don’t fold, demand that they confirm, let them know it’s a career killer for them to not confirm.
To heck with playing nice.

Would you like to tell the committee, madame/sir, under oath and penalty of perjury, what happened to the best of knowledge in that hotel room that would be of significance to this committee?

Trump should double down, and let the senate they are getting Gaetz back in another role, one not subject to advise and consent, head of the legislative affairs department, the department congress calls to get executive branch action on everything but DOJ. If they want a favor from trump convince Gaetz first no matter what party. Gaetz is sharp enough to smell both weakness and bullshit and would give zero shits about leaking the bullshit that flows from the hill.
