Pete diss & make-up

WHEN not sending classified war plans to his family and journalists, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is more concerned with covering up flaws than protecting the front lines.

America's head of military is under fire - and not the military kind - after reports that he green-lit a makeover for a make-up room.

Hegseth allegedly ordered a studio fitted next to the Pentagon press briefing room so officials could powder their noses before TV hits.

The price tag? A few thousand bucks. The timing? Less than ideal, as the administration hunts for ways to trim spending.

After the story made headlines Hegseth, left, posted on X: “No ‘orders’ and no ‘makeup.”

The way Hegseth is going, though, a ton of concealer isn’t a bad idea given how many cracks there are in his leadership.
