I have to remember "douche-bro", that'll come in handy. Trump's attraction to people like Gaetz and Hegseth seems evidence to me that he has very serious psychological issues of his own driving his self-destructive behavior. Just what we need in a President. It was not a challenge to read that letter from Hegseth's Mom and realize she could have added a rather long cc list to Trump and his circle.

Professo Drezner, it's guys like you that are a big cause of the problem. The son of a doctor, but virtue-signaling that you go to a nurse practitioner for care. Ugh. Stop it.

I've been telling him for years to get off the seed oils, and sent him enough testosterone boosters to priapize an 80 year old billy goat. All for naught. And for goodness sake, get a male nurse practitioner. Not much, but it's a start.
