the administration is being cute about it now, but a funny thing about the Hegseth double tap reporting is that he made a lengthy huffy comment after the story published. He had a chance to deny it, and say (or lie even) I never said this. This isn’t a trick question, he coulda done that. He didn’t!

Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.
And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.
