He’s Hegseth’s wealth manager. He also pushes “pro Israel policies” like war with Iran.

I’m beyond upset after the Iran vote.   I again voted to end the war. But Republicans gave Trump exactly what he wanted: unlimited and unchecked power.   This is a disastrous, dangerous, and reckless illegal war that the people are sick of paying for. Republicans don’t care.
