Pete Hegseth is in big trouble, and it looks like he is about to be impeached, so Donald Trump decided that he had to hold a press briefing in the Brady Briefing Room to save his Secretary of Defense.
Trump could have defended Hegseth based on his competency in running the military, but one look at how the Iran war is going cooked that defense.

The president decided that the best defense that he could muster for Hegseth was something so bonkers that it has to be seen and heard to be believed.
Trump said:
He certainly, I think he's won the war in Iran, but he's certainly winning the war. Iran would love to make a deal, and they've been obliterated, their navy and their air force.
So he won the war in two places, two big places, very important, very impactful, and they were won. They're not like Vietnam where nothing was won, or Afghanistan, or Iraq, or any of these wars where nothing was won. There was nothing won, just lots of death, and then let's leave. In one case, he's not, they're not gonna have a nuclear weapon. In the other, we're making hundreds of billions of dollars for this country.
So I say this, Pete Hegseth won two wars.
Oh, let's impeach him. What about impeaching the gentleman from Biden, his person that disappeared for two weeks and nobody had any idea where he was? What about impeaching the people that ran the Vietnam War?
