Trump decides Hegseth's bullshit "summit" can't be ALL ABOUT HIM unless he SHOWS UP, so he will

Trump to Upstage Hegseth by Crashing Bizarre Generals Summit
GENERAL GRIEVANCE
The president is expected to follow the defense secretary’s remarks with a speech of his own.

Trump is gearing up to hold court at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s all-hands military meeting Tuesday.

The 79-year-old president’s appearance, first reported by Axios, adds much more scrutiny—and security presence–to what was already a controversial and expensive meeting.

“We have confirmation from the White House that POTUS is now attending the speech on Tuesday,” a planning document obtained by The Washington Post says.

Hegseth, a former Fox News host, last week called U.S. generals stationed around the world to Quantico, Va. The highly-unusual order, which will cost the U.S. millions of dollars to bring the generals to the U.S. on short notice, sparked concerns that the U.S. was on the brink of a major military conflict. However, insider reports indicate that the meeting is essentially a photo-op.
