" but whatever . "

Pete Hegseth is mad…again.

According toCBS News, the current Secretary of Defense and former Fox News host has apparently created a makeup studio costing thousands of dollars.

The internet (obviously) made some jokes about this.

Even Chuck Schumer chimed in with a bazinga of sorts.

That’s when Trump’s “Rapid Response” team decided to respond with a picture of what they’re calling the “GREEN ROOM.”

And then, of course, Mr. Hegseth responded:

His fans in the replies love the response.

“Fake news strikes again.”

But other people can’t believe the Secretary of Defense is tweeting like this.

Some people are calling it “unhinged.”

A bunch of people are calling for him to resign over thosenew Signal allegations.

And this person pointed out how funny/random the whole “but whatever” thing is.
