Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
President Trump awarded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth an “A plus, plus, plus” for his performance against former Rep. Thomas Massie, whom Trump labeled a “disgruntled, angry, defeated” lawmaker and “total loser.” The remark, posted via First Squawk, is a rhetorical endorsement rather than a policy announcement, with no numbers attached. It matters as a signal of Trump’s continued public backing for Hegseth amid scrutiny of the Pentagon chief. Watch for whether the praise translates into stronger political cover for Hegseth on upcoming defense budget and confirmation fights.
