.@SECWAR "What I give, what you give, what others give—I’m not looking for money. I don’t do it for money. I don’t do it for profit. I don’t do it for stocks, and that’s part of the reason I’m able to be effective in this job. BECAUSE NO ONE OWNS ME. NO ONE OWNS THIS DEPARTMENT. NO ONE OWNS THIS PRESIDENT."

If you can build fast and deliver at speed—the Department of War is ready to do business. wsj.com/business/defen…

.@SECWAR "The best reflection of the success of President Trump and this War Department is the HISTORIC RECRUITING SUCCESS and the HISTORIC MORALE among our ranks."

.@SECWAR "We are two months into a HISTORIC MILITARY SUCCESS IN IRAN AND YOU WANT TO CALL IT A DEFEAT. It's defeatist Democrats like you that cloud the minds of the American people."

.@SECWAR "Under the leadership of President Trump – our BUILDER-IN-CHIEF – we are reversing this systematic decay and putting our Defense Industrial Base back on a WARTIME FOOTING."

We are rebuilding a military that FIGHTS TO WIN — on ANY battlefield, against ANY threat.

Secretary Hegseth was right—the media is filled with Pharisees…
