The Pentagon is Finally, the concerns about Defense Minister Pete Hegseth are growing: The Ministry of Defense confirmed CBS News on Wednesday that a new make-up studio is coming to the Pentagon.

No, of course Hegseth does not resign. In several appearances, he made it clear this week that he was defiant, and undertook to be responsible for the distribution of fake, anti-trump messages to the unfounded assertion that dismissed workers are responsible. The studio, in which a mirror is equipped with professional make-up lights and a director’s chair, is built next to the briefing room of the Pentagon, in which Hegseth has not yet spoken to reporters. Instead, the former moderator of Fox News probably uses the room to prepare for television appearances as to how they encourage them:

The project does not deal with the many scandals that Hegseth has sounded, including his reported Penchat for the exchange of war plans for signal. But it makes sense.

As I wrote in a feature last month, the physical appearance of President Donald Trump, a man who is calm for his obsession with the literal splendor of beauty, is of the utmost importance. The tactics used to achieve prominent power positions in this administration seem to rely on how the camera-capable they appear.
