Who was less qualified to be President than Trump?

And he will go down as a top 4 and possibly the greatest President ever.

It is clear to any reasonable person that Lloyd Austin is vastly more qualified for the job than Whiskey Pete.


Lloyd Austin was a Covid face-shield wearing pussy. He was an overweight DEI political hire unfit to lead warriors. Hegseth gets hate because he is none of those things, and is the kind of man servicemen respect. frick off you pussy.

We had a commander in chief of us armies that was a farmer with only a few years of military experience. His highest rank was Colonel in the equivalent of the state National Guard.

This man was George Washington. He defeated the most powerful nation in the world.

Leadership is not about who has the most credentials. Austin was a horrible leader.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to create executive departments and agencies, and the relevant legislation from Congress names THIS department as the "Department of Defense."

Thus, Trump cannot legally change its name to "Department of War" by fiat.

I know that upsets his loyal minions. Sorry.
Wrong again faggie newcomer! Secretary of war is a cabinet position which Trump chooses and congress approves
Look! One of those minions makes his appearance.



Bob, take a look at the following statutes:

10 USC 111(a) The Department of Defense is an executive department of the United States.

10 USC 113(a) There is a Secretary of Defense, who is the head of the Department of Defense.

Even your hero understands this to be the case, because he quietly dictated that "Department of War" was to be a SECONDARY designation, all while requiring his administration to USE that secondary designation.

Here is Dear Leader's proclamation. In relevant part, it says the following:
quote:

(a) The Secretary of Defense is authorized the use of this additional secondary title — the Secretary of War — and may be recognized by that title in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch.

(b) The Department of Defense and the Office of the Secretary of Defense may be referred to as the Department of War and the Office of the Secretary of War, respectively, in the contexts described in subsection (a) of this section.

(c) The provisions of this section shall also apply, as appropriate, to subordinate officials within the Department of Defense, who may use corresponding secondary titles such as Deputy Secretary of War or Under Secretary of War in the contexts described in subsection (a) of this section.

(d) All executive departments and agencies shall recognize and accommodate the use of such secondary titles in internal and external communications, provided that the use of such titles does not create confusion with respect to legal, statutory, or international obligations.

(e) Statutory references to the Department of Defense, Secretary of Defense, and subordinate officers and components shall remain controlling until changed subsequently by the law.
Clear, objective, unambiguous fact. It will get 50 downvotes.

Easy enough. Hegseth doesn't have this on his CV.

Were you not alive when figs and trannies were allowed to pollute the military? You must not be terribly old.

No, Mark, you implied Trump was the threat and was giving illegal orders. You attempted to sow doubt into the minds of American service members with your little performance.

I wonder why an uneducated turd like you, that has never served in the military, imagines they are qualified to hold such an opinion on Hegseth.

Hegseth is a mouthpiece, he's given a script by the WH and the Asst Sec of war and he follows it. It's Trumps prerogative to have him there, and he's Senste confirmed

Deflecting again?

This thread is about Hegseth's lack of qualifications for SoD. It seems that some folks here want to talk about anything butthat.

I originally asked c on z a question, not you. As for Hegseth, whatever you think about his qualifications is entirely irrelevant. The man is Secretary of Defense and you're not.

Someone already mentioned McNamara, so I'll nominate this clown:

McNamara wasn't completely incompetent, he was just a corporate bean counter. Lloyd Austin was just plain stupid.
