Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered modifications to a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to retrofit it with a makeup studio that can be used to prepare for television appearances, multiple sources told CBS News.

The price tag for the project was several thousand dollars, according to two of the sources, at a time when the administration is searching for cost-cutting measures.

I would really encourage the Trump administration to do as much of this as possible.

Military people can make their peace with malicious people, even ones dangerous to the constitutional order some of the time. And being friendly with incompetents is their daily bread and butter. But asking them to give friendly allegiance to foppishness, I think, will be universally revolting to all, regardless of their political feelings.
