Pete Hegseth will soon head the Pentagon. But doubts about the TV presenter’s suitability are growing louder. Now Donald Trump may have found an alternative – an old acquaintance.
A high-profile personnel decision recently blew up in Donald Trump’s face. Even many loyal party soldiers could not imagine Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. The US President-elect quickly gave in . Now the next case of this kind is looming.
Pete Hegseth is still officially slated to be Secretary of Defense in the new Trump cabinet. But doubts about the 44-year-old’s suitability are now so loud that there are initial reports of a possible replacement. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is apparently planning to appoint Ron DeSantis to head the Pentagon instead.
