Trump: “Look at how cool my good friend Pete Hegseth is! He’s killing the drug dealers and the terrorists.”

Media: “Damn, did you just post video of your Sec Def committing a war crime?”

Pete: “No! No! Not a war crime! I didn’t say that. This is fake footage. But if it was real, it would have been a very cool thing to do.”

Media: “Trump, is your Defense Department leaking doctored videos of military exercises?”

Trump: “Democrats! The Democrats were already doing this. No crime! Fake news. I don’t even know this Pete Hegseth guy. Never even seen a video.”

Media: “Okay, well… I guess that’s that. Back to polling the midterms.”
