Trump nominee to be top general denies wearing MAGA hat

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Retired Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine, President Donald Trump's nominee to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denied on Tuesday that he has ever worn a "Make America Great Again" hat or any other type of political merchandise.

In at least one retelling of Caine and Trump's first meeting in Iraq in 2018, the president has seemed to indicate Caine was wearing a red MAGA hat, something that would not be allowed under military rules.

The question was posed by some senators at Caine's confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"Let me start off by asking about some hyperbole that may have been out there in the press," Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said at the start of Tuesday's hearing. "Gen. Caine, did you wear a MAGA hat in front of the president?"

1. So Trump was lying, that's not hyperbole

2. He was asked if he wore a MAGA hat "in front of the president"

Which he denied.
That doesn’t mean he didn’t wear one any other time. Trump wouldn’t nominate Caine if he didn’t fit his politics.

3. One of them is obviously lying

In this case, I'm actually more likely to believe Trump. I mean, it makes perfect sense that Trump became infatuated with the guy because he was a General wearing a MAGA hat. Why else would Trump have cared? He thinks he knows more than any general so why would he even give the guy the time of day unless it was clear that they shared the same "politics".

4. Lt general do you pledge to defend the constitution or allegiance to your maga leader?
