President Trump doesn't just have a problem with Democrats when he's trying to slide his sycophants into U.S. Attorney roles. He has a problem with Senate Republicans, Republican-appointed judges and the Constitution.

Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth sure is proud of committing murder.
This is what the so-called "Secretary of War" is tweeting amid reports that his department ordered a second strike to make sure they killed survivors of a boat they attacked that they allege with no proof carries drugs (which doesn't justify bombing them even it were true)
