Michael Lambert: Pathetic Hegseth and Deluded Trump Insult the Intelligence of 800 Generals

Oct 4, 2025 | More ego, more exaggeration, more delusion? Another speech by Donald Trump has the world shaking their heads. From the White House to rallies across the USA, it's always the same old Trump news. What will he say next?

This week he and Pete Hegseth instructed 800 of the most senior military officers to attend at Quantica, Virginia where Hegseth gave a banal and patronising speech followed by Trump who rambled utter nonsense and lies for an hour and a half.

The event, in which Trump tried to warn the generals and admirals present that the United States was facing a 'war from within' and that they should be ready to deploy troops in US cities was a disaster.
