I think Democrats would be very foolish to go all Marjorie Taylor Greene here and WWE stuff and so on. I think they should respond. But I don't think they should, you know, heckle and do the kinds of things that some have talked about.
Well, look, it's obviously a historic day. I think whatever you think about Donald Trump, you have to acknowledge this is probably the most astonishing comeback in American political history.
Donald Trump doesn't believe in rules and laws and norms or institutions. He doesn't believe them domestically. He doesn't believe in them internationally and he has defied them to get to this point and back to the presidency.
Yeah. I don't see the president-elect as a sentimental person. I don't think he's going to hang on here if he believes that Hegseth has become a liability to him.
