Pete Hegseth paints himself into a corner

US defence secretary Pete Hegseth has posted a borderline treasonous video on various social media sites.

He has filmed himself spray painting America's plans for seizing Greenland onto the back wall of the White House. 'This isn't secret,' he says, 'those Eskimos know we're coming for them. Anyway, hardly any of them can read.'

Donald Trump has firmly backed Hegseth over two previous incidents. He published battle plans to attack Yemen after mistakenly adding a journalist to the message group. And in the second case he sent war plans to a group including his wife, presumably so that she'd know when to put the dinner on '

Trump said, 'our battle plans aren't secret. Hegseth is a good guy. I beat him at golf every time.'

Pete Hegseth's latest effort looks set to test Donald Trump's allegiance once again. The spray painting is in a bright orange colour. If he's used the President's fake tan, then he's in big trouble.

Hegseth said, 'I've posted the videos because I believe in free speech. I left Fox News for the kudos and the kickbacks, but it's less fun than I expected. Honestly, what does a guy have to do round here to get sacked?'
