The Real Reason the Democrats Are Targeting Hegseth with the Fake Signal App Story
The left has proven since 2015 that these radicals do not care about Democracy. Since 2015, Democrats have tried to prevent the public from deciding who is President with fake impeachments, sham prosecutions, and even an effort in some states such as Colorado to keep Trump off the ballot. What the left cares about deeply is the bureaucracy, or the power of the government. The real reason the Democrats view the 47th President as an existential threat is because the party views the American people taking back control of the country away from political elites as a crisis.
This is why the timing of the fake signal app chat story should be questioned. Elon Musk and his team have been cleaning up waste, fraud, and abuse, across most major departments, and the brilliant innovator is going to focus on the Pengaton next with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as his partner. The United States spends nearly $800 billion a year on defense, that’s more than the next 9 countries combined. While obviously, the country should allocate significant funds to the Pentagon to make sure the US has a strong military, there is a lot of waste in the bloated defense budget. The establishment in Washington dislikes Hegseth because he is an outsider, and the Democrats are trying to get the new leader of the Pentagon removed before he begins to focus on reforming the defense budget.
When the fake signal app story first broke, the facts were clear that the disgraced Atlantic Editor Jeffrey Goldberg had been allegedly put on the call by mistake by a staffer of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. The facts were clear, Hegseth had nothing to do with what supposedly had happened. Still, the corrupt liberal press and the Democrats quickly tried to focus on the new defense secretary, with people such as Senator Warren calling on him to resign. Hegseth has been a rank-and-file military man most of his career, and the war hero is an outsider to Washington, the establishment does not like or trust him. The left is particularly afraid of Hegseth partnering with Musk to clean up what is likely the massive waste at the Pentagon.
President Trump is determined to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, the 47th President is also committed to cleaning up waste, fraud, and abuse. While Trump, Musk, and the rest of the President’s cabinet have focused on a number of corrupt departments and agencies such as USAID, most of the waste that the administration will find is likely going to be at the Pentagon. The US spend nearly half of all discretionary spending on the defense budget per year, and the Pentagon has never passed a complete aduit. Former Secretary Rumsfield even stated that 2.3 trillion dollars was missing unaccounted for at the Pentagon 2 decades ago, and defense spending has only risen since that time.
Trump was inevitably going to encounter increasingly fierce resistance as he focuses on reforming government and cutting spending. While the President has already achieved a significant amount, the defense budget and the Pentagon is where Trump and his team is likely to do their most important work in eliminating waste. The establishment does not like or trust Musk and Hegseth, these individuals are likely looking to remove the new defense secretary before he begins the much-needed work that is long overdue in reforming the Pentagon. Trump learned a lot from his first term, when the corrupt bureaucracy was able to take down people such as General Michael Flynn, the President is not going to allow the corrupt establishment to take down his team or interfere with the important work he’s doing to clean-up government on behalf of the American people.
