Warning! Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unqualified to lead during any national emergency

Pray🙏 that Trump's team does not have to deal with a real-time major crisis, for which they are dangerously unprepared.⚠️❗

Pete Hegseth is unqualified for the postion he holds as Defense Secretary. Trump selected him because he is a MAGA clone "yes" man. 

Echo opinion letter published in the Penn Bay Pilot "Talk", a newspaper circulated largely in Mid Coast Maine- Rockland, Camden and Thomaston, Maine.

Indeed, incompetent Trumpzi hand picked clones have no experience to handle any crises. Instead, they were plucked up by Donald Trump for the purpose of protecting him from another impeachment trial. But, there will be a crisis, there always is, and the"kitchen junk drawer" he calls a "cabinet" is incapable to providing informed leadership. 

A recent quote by the Trump-nominated unqualified Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth perfectly summarizes the outlook of the Trump Administration: The Department of Defense does not do climate change crap; we do training and war fighting.

Hegseth expresses scorn for experts and for the most far-reaching threat to our survival on this planet. He seems more interested in preparing for a street brawl than for the complex challenges to our national security from cyber attacks, from the rise of economic rivals, from weakening links with our longtime allies, and from the effects of climate change that involve worldwide threats to our bases and operations.

Hegseth is manifestly unqualified to confront the more subtle and complex demands of the position that he now holds. Trump chose him for his blunt and belligerent attitudes displayed as a FOX channel regular. Many of his high-level nominees were chosen on the basis of their on-air FOX performances. Like Trump himself in the Presidency, Hegseth is not ready to be Secretary of Defense — he just plays one on on T.V.

Trump has surrounded himself with sycophant MAGA amateurs at the heart of our governmentand especially our national security positions.The contrast with the quality and competence ofcomparable officials in previous Administrationsis shocking. Pray that Trump's team does not haveto deal with a real-time major crisis, for whichthey are dangerously unprepared.
