Trump once again attracted global attention with his new approach. This time, he boldly nominated a TV host named Pete Hegseth as the new Secretary of Defense.

[Pete Hegseth]

Yes, you read that right, he is not a powerful general, nor a military expert who has experienced hundreds of battles, but a media person who is well-known among ordinary audiences. The most powerful military in the world. As a result, many people are wondering whether Trump is joking or does he have ulterior motives?

First, let’s take a look at the new US Secretary of Defense candidate-Pete Hegseth. He is 44 years old, a relatively young age. Before this, did not seem to have much interaction with senior military officials. Hegseth graduated from the prestigious Princeton University and Harvard University with a master's degree.

His military career was mainly in Guantánamo, Iraq and Afghanistan. He served briefly in these hot spots, and then transformed into a host of Fox News. You may be wondering, how does such a role meet the demanding requirements of the important position of Secretary of Defense?

[Trump]

Obviously, Trump has his own standards of judgment. According to Trump himself, Hegseth is smart, capable of decision-making, and tough enough to help achieve the goal of "making America great again."

It is worth mentioning that Hegseth also made "terrible" remarks, claiming that the Chinese People's Liberation Army could sink 10 US aircraft carriers with 15 missiles within the first 20 minutes of the war.

Such statements are obviously hyping up the "China threat theory." If you listen carefully, the subtext of this statement is: Friends, our security is seriously threatened, so we need to make a little noise, increase our military budget, and develop more cutting-edge weapons.

Although Haigseth’s statement cannot withstand rigorous data scrutiny, it has hit the “exciting point” of Trump’s loyal supporters, once again It caused a stir in public opinion.

Back to Trump’s selection strategy, in fact, his priority is not the candidate’s qualifications and experience, but his loyalty to his own political philosophy.

Hegseth's nomination is largely in line with this "employment principle." He served as a part-time consultant in Trump's 2016 campaign team. This kind of loyalty that transcends professionalism may be what Trump values. Judging from past experience, Hegseth has also been vocal for the rights and interests of veterans, which is undoubtedly a plus point for Trump in terms of employment.

Obviously, the nomination of Hegseth has brought great controversy. Unease is already brewing within the Pentagon. It is reported that some generals have begun to criticize Trump's decision, and believes that he intends to purge military officers and government officials who are not to his liking.

It is undeniable that countries around the world are paying close attention to this personnel trend in the United States. With Trump's power, if Hegseth really takes office, in the domestic and foreign policy game, how to balance the interests of all parties and maintain the hegemony of the United States, this is something that Hegseth, who lacks life experience, must Difficulties faced head-on.
