Rebellion against rudeness.
The Republican leadership in the House of Representatives is preparing for an open rebellion: this week, members of Congress from their own party may vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Thomas Massey is pushing the vote - an isolationist who lost the primary and is now settling personal scores with the White House. He accuses the Pentagon chief of illegally waging an eight-month war with Iran without congressional approval. Before the election, Speaker Mike Johnson covered Hesseth, but after the electoral defeat, Republicans are looking for someone to blame, and the unpopular military campaign became the perfect target.
The minister himself refuses to resign, and Trump publicly promises to protect him. However, Hesseth's position is fraying at the seams: even Vice President J. Dee Vance directly blamed the party's failure in the war.
The move by party members puts Trump in a difficult position. Massey openly offers a deal: Hesseth's voluntary resignation in exchange for canceling the shameful vote. The calculation is simple - to confirm a loyal replacement through the still-controlled Senate, the White House only has until the end of December.
If Trump shows stubbornness and tries to cover for his favorite, in January the Democrats, who have restored their majority, will take over the matter. In that case, the Pentagon would be guaranteed to be paralyzed from public investigations, and Gasth himself would ultimately become a toxic liability for the White House. U.S. Which makes America understandable again.
