When you have tattoos that are affiliated with neo-Nazi groups, you paid off a woman to avoid a sexual abuse lawsuit, and the only thing you have experience running is your mouth, I'm thinking you're probably a bad pick for Secretary of Defense. But that's just me.

Trump ran one of the most successful disinformation operations in modern history.
“Many voters headed to the polls convinced that border crossings are higher than ever before (they are not), violent crime rates are rising (untrue) and inflation is soaring (ditto). We will never know how much this garbage may have swayed voters…”
