Exactly. This is about the only way you can describe this.
As I said, I get the qualms about Hegseth and Gabbard.
I'm actually a little bit intrigued by the Hegseth pick. I honestly think it could end up being a pretty good one. And I get Trump wanting to reward Gabbard for her support -- although I don't know what would've been wrong with VA Secretary or Interior. Still, it's something that I can live with.
But...this? I mean, this can only be described as some kind of a troll appointment. We're talking about a guy who heckled the former Speaker of the House on the floor of the Republican convention like a 3rd grader. "Hey Kevin, what time are you speaking tonight? What time? Oh, you're not? That's right, because you'd get booed off the stage!"
...only to later take the stage himself and embarrassingly reveal having some kind of bizarre work done to his face before his big primetime blast.
