Trump 2.0 - Governing as expected

Chaotically.
Vice President JD Vance issued a stark warning to Russia, threatening the potential deployment of U.S. troops to Ukraine—a move that directly undercut Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who was forced into an embarrassing reversal on his earlier remarks.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Vance said the U.S. may take military action if Russian President Vladimir Putin fails to negotiate a deal that guarantees Ukraine’s long-term independence.

Speaking of Pete Hegseth...
Pentagon officials are stunned after President Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth invited a notorious far-right activist to accompany him on a trip, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

According to the report, the decision to invite Jack Posobiec to Hegseth's first overseas trip "trigger[ed] alarm among U.S. defense officials worried about the military being dragged into partisan warfare."

[...]

"One official said the potential involvement of Posobiec, a Trump booster who is known for peddling conspiracy theories and trolling political adversaries online, has raised questions within the Pentagon about Hegseth’s judgment and what he aimed to communicate to U.S. allies if he were to allow a polarizing political figure to be by his side."

But this is where we are. Jesus Tapdancing Christ.


Who will Trump ditch first - Hegseth or Vance?  My guess is Vance.
