Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘Pete Hegseth Is Making the Stupidity of the Trump Admin. Fully Vivid to Anyone’

EXCERPT:

O’DONNELL: “According to Pete Hegseth's new definition of classified, General Eisenhower could have told his wife when he delayed the invasion by one day, he could have told his wife exactly where the invasion was going to be, exactly which beaches in Normandy. The American and British allies spent months and months and months, did a great deal of classified work to try to convince the Germans that they were going to invade Europe at a different location from where they actually did invade Europe, and that location was classified, just like every other location of every other American battle plan. And every one of those details was classified for every minute that those details were being contemplated or planned or carried out. And so even the most uninformed Trump voter in the country, which is probably Donald Trump himself, knows that battle plans have always been classified, and a secretary of defense is not supposed to tell anyone about them very much, including his wife. Pete Hegseth is making the stupidity of the Trump Administration fully vivid to anyone who might still be having a bit of trouble understanding just how stupid the Trump tariffs are, or how stupid and harmful to international security Donald Trump’s switching sides in the war in Ukraine is."
