Trump just smacked down the rumor that Pete Hegseth has a drinking problem "How concerned are you that the person who you picked for the top job at the Defense Department [has] struggled with drinking?" TRUMP: "I've spoken to people who know him VERY well who say he does... NOT have a drinking problem."show more

Legacy media is ridiculous. They start rumors and then all jump on it like a flock of vultures devouring road kill. Luckily, Trump and others do not play their game.

FAKE NEWS trying to take down a great American like Pete Hegseth with baseless rumors. President Trump sees right through it, and we should all be grateful for his leadership. Let's focus on the real issues, not manufactured scandals.

Drinking problems…..not new in politics.

Pete Hegseth should sue every media source that defamed him.

Strange. Why wouldn't President Trump believe press reports from anonymous 'sources' that Pete is a lush? I just can't quite put my finger on it.

Trump will get Pete one way or another, even if he hast to do recess appointments. President Clinton: 139 times President G.W. Bush: 171 times President Obama: 32 times

Anybody remember when the Democrats and propaganda media called Ted Kennedy the "Lion of the Senate?"

I love how the slimy MSNBC reporter states his “drinking problem” as if it were fact, and Trump is just like no, that’s not true at all, and that’s from real people that know him. (not “anonymous sources”)

Has anyone actually said he has a drinking problem aside from those anonymous sources?

Trump doesn’t drink. He’d recognize a drinking problem very quickly.
