Pete Hegseth’s staff break priceless historic globe he requested for office

A priceless pre-second world war globe coveted by the US defence secretary Pete Hegseth for his office in the Pentagon was damaged by his staff in a botched attempt to relocate it, army officials have admitted.

Photographs published by the Washington Post on Thursday show the shattered 30-inch Eisenhower globe, said to have been used by Dwight D Eisenhower, the 34th US president, as he plotted the D-day landings as allied supreme commander.

The fragile item was broken when Hegseth’s aides eschewed the services of specialist movers, then dropped it after deciding they would transport it themselves, the Post said, citing sources familiar with the February incident.

I wonder if he wanted it in his makeup room?

He's a total arsehole.

A priceless piece of history has been destroyed because of his utter stupidity and his need to feel important.

I hope he's the first one impeached.

Impeached and convicted. If a Democrat had said to give the Iranians “no quarter”, his position would’ve been untenable.

How peculiar. When we pointed our your DL's subjects caused $200 mil worth of damages to the US Capitol, what was your reaction again?

Don't answer that.
