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.

Evidence about Donald Trump being infected with hallucinations and delusions

Donald Trump's utter disconnect from reality

In the wake of Donald Trump's repeated delusional assertions that the U.S. will "take over Gaza" after some two million Palestinians are summarily evicted (also known as genocide!) so that he can carry out his biggest real estate and renovation deal a remarkable AI video appeared on Trump's Truth Social site in support of this cruel genocidal fantasy.

It provides a vivid illustration of Trump's utter disconnect from reality (also known as "crazy) and the scale of his self-imagined projection into grandiose worldly success.

In place of near-total destruction in Gaza the Trump video portrays a massive makeover into a successful tourist mecca with high-rise buildings, a large Trump Gaza Casino, and a photo-shop image of Trump and Netanyahu sun-bathing on the beach together.

Gone are the Palestinians! But they never will or should relinquish their claims to their lands in Gaza, despite brutal conditions imposed by Israeli attacks and cut-offs of humanitarian supplies. Trump will never transform this killing field into a vacation playground.

The most extreme illustration of Trump's self-indulgence and ego enhancement is embodied in an image featured in the AI video--a giant statue of businessman Trump flanked by palm trees and tall buildings (also known as hallucinations!). Against a glowing sky an immense replica of a resolute Trump stands at least 50 feet high and is covered in gold (or solid gold?). There could be no better example of his self-worship to offset his actual psychological insecurity.

In the Biblical story of Exodus, the Children of Israel make their way out of Egypt and into the area of present-day Gaza, where they betray their spiritual heritage by worshiping a golden calf. 

"thou shall not have false gods before me" is found in Exodus 20:3, and is often referred to as the first commandment

The MAGA followers of today should learn from their Scriptural example. (MAGA followers who are Bible Thumpers seem to skip over the place where God directs the Isrealites not to worship strange gods).
