America's current Secretary of War is a cartoon character who very much reminds me of Barbie's boyfriend Ken. The main difference is that Ken's plastic head had air in it but the current Secretary of War has testosterone mixed with ignorance in his skull. Another difference is that Ken was a nice guy. He was never guilty of sexual misconduct, financial mismanagement nor excessive drinking. He was also devoted to Barbie when they went surfing or attended beach parties together. In contrast, the current Secretary of War has had three wives and various affairs.
This is what his own mother, Penny Hegseth, said about him in an e-mail back in 2018:-
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect
for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women
for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years).
You simply cannot imagine Ken's mother writing a similar e-mail about him.
Not only does GI Joe Hegseth delight in using hyperbolic tough guy language that he has no doubt picked from all the war films he has whooped and salivated about, he also mangles English.
The other day, I noticed him using "truth" as a verb as he referred to his lord and master's pronouncements on the propaganda social media site that was ironically titled Truth Social when it was petulantly established. Hegseth said that Emperor Trump had "truthed" this and also "truthed" that Not the familiar "tweeted" that we had all got used to via Twitter but "truthed"! I ask you.
It is a further irony that the bloated and increasingly demented old man in The White House rarely promotes or speaks the truth. He manipulates it and abuses it to his own narcissistic ends. When others speak inconvenient truths, his instinct is to shut them down or insult them. A more appropriate name for Truth Social would be "Loada Bollocks Social". After all what could be more disingenuous than posting an image of yourself as a modern day Jesus Christ - oh sorry, I meant a doctor!
