Incompetent beyond belief.
Department of War action figure, Pete Hegseth, was so desperate for his playtime props – so he could roleplay as a real leader – that his goons brushed off the use of specialist movers, who had custom built packing previously made for this precise purpose, and just lugged it themselves.
Does this mean he won’t be invading the South Pole?
— ‘The globe’s historical significance was attractive to him, the Post’s report noted, and aides moved quickly to enact the relocation.
Such was their haste, the sources said, that instead of waiting to engage specialist movers who would have packed the globe with precision and care, they dispatched their own team.
“They lost control of the artifact and dropped it, sending the globe crashing on to its base and impaling the fragile shell near Antarctica,” one of the sources said, blaming an “apparent lack of patience”.
Ultimately, the globe was not relocated, and is currently undergoing repair.’
