Why are Trump’s cabinet picks being mocked as unqualified?
Are you MAGA supporters happy about this? That America is literally the laughing stock of the world, that Donald Trump's cabinet picks are so ridiculously unqualified that people are laughing at them every day. Like we went from a retired four-star general as our Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, who's imminently qualified, to a Fox. and friends weekend host. Pete Hegseth? Can't even make it on the main Fox and Friends during the weekdays themselves. That's who Donald Trump has nominated to appoint as Secretary of Defense. As Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren says, a Fox and Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform.
I respect every one of our service members. Donald Trump's pick makes us less safe and must be rejected. May I do a comparison right now? Let me show you the current Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and a speech he gave in June on the importance of NATO. Here, play this clip.
Like nations of good will around the world. Our NATO allies continue to stand up for Ukraine's sovereignty and self-defense. And as we prepare for the Washington summit The NATO-Ukraine partnership continues to deepen. The summit will take steps toward a credible bridge.
How does the comparison between Lloyd Austin and Pete Hegseth illustrate the problem?
Now contrast that to Donald Trump's pick, Pete Hegseth, who's now getting laughed at by even Republicans who are looking at this and going, what the heck? Here's Donald Trump's pick. Here, play this clip.
Yo, Independence Day is almost here. We're getting ready in the Hegseth household. We celebrate America, old glory, and the freedoms our forefathers fought to establish. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to bear arms, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, you know the thing, as Joe likes to say. We also know we're one nation under God. There are a lot of folks trying to divide us right now, but we know who we are. We love God, our families, and our republic. Your support of veteran owned American made anti woke companies like Palmetto State Armory, Caliber Coffee, Right to Bear Self Defense, and AAC ammunition keeps us strong at home. We vote with our feet and our dollars to stay free.
To that end, AAC just rolled out a new line of AK-47 ammo. That's right. Because Russian ammo is now banned. So now you can buy American-made 762. That's what I'm talking about. Check the text below for more info. Happy Independence Day, everybody. From our family to yours, God bless America.
Speaking of America being laughed at right now and Donald Trump's decisions being laughed at, so Donald Trump announced an imaginary cabinet position that he's creating called the Doge Department. I'm making up the Doge Department based on a meme coin, Dogecoin that Elon Musk created. And he says, I'm gonna have Vivek Ramaswamy and I'm gonna have Elon Musk lead the Doge Cabinet position. What it was, what are we like five years old or just making up cabinet positions? But as Elizabeth Lawrence said laughing in their face. So let me get this straight. The Office of Government Efficiency, which Trump calls doge, it's off to a great start with split leadership. Two people to do the work of one person. Yes, that really sounds efficient, Donald.
Then you have a Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, and Elon Musk's posting uh the photo of uh the uh doge logo it's like a like a dog and then Elon Musk goes Department of Government Efficiency the merch will be lit the merch will be fire The merch will be lit, the merch will be fire. We're making up fake cabinet positions in the United States of America. Oh, and then by the way, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Yes, the guy who said, Donald Trump, your hands are itty bitty and really tiny, tiny little hands, Donald. Like, here's what Marco Rubio said. Play this clip.
Have you seen his hands? They're like this. And you know what they say about men with small hands?
You can't trust them. Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands. If they're small, something else must be small.
