President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are facing ridicule after a reporter’s question seemed to catch both off guard, prompting the two to exchange whispers before passing the question off on another official.

“Psst, the what?”

“Did you finish yours?”

“I didn’t start it, did you?”

During the presidential cabinet meeting on Tuesday, a journalist asked about Russia’s alleged use of chemical weapons in Ukraine. Trump leaned toward Hegseth and whispered, “What do you know about this?” Hegseth responded quietly, “John might know,” prompting Trump to say aloud, “Well, I’d ask John to discuss it.”

Sir sir sir sir sir you’re supposed to be the big boss here, you went out of your way to get to be the big boss, so newflash, you’re at the top of the chain, you’re supposed to know. You’re not supposed to run around asking your flunkies or whisper like a child who’s wet his pants. This is your responsibility, not anyone else’s.
