And it is always better to hit the cultural note rather than the political or the policy note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he is speaking with this directly to the \u2018Trump bro\u2019 base, because if he wants to run for president, that\u2019s where he has to begin,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe has to&#8230; appeal in some kind of identity, charismatic fashion to those kinds of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon did not immediately return the Daily Beast\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Reached for comment, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told the Daily Beast in a statement: \u201cAfter Joe Biden\u2019s Pentagon prioritized DEI and woke ideology, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth quickly reversed course and restored a Department of War that is focused on readiness, lethality, and supporting our warfighters. Secretary Hegseth is doing an incredible job leading the Pentagon, and his results speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The author explained that to entice people from the manosphere, one has to swap \u201ctraditional politics\u201d with \u201ccultural markers,\u201d and that Hegseth\u2019s \u201ctest for testosterone\u201d is a prime example.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3677\">Trump Assembles Disgraced Election Nuts Before Crackpot Speech<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Coles questioned whether Hegseth\u2019s move was a way to catch up to the top 2028 Republican prospects, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance. Wolff believes the measure was more likely just \u201ca hat in the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, how are people gonna respond? I mean&#8230; certainly&#8230; he is the bottom of the pack of the obvious list that you might make at this point,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cBut if this begins to catch on, then&#8230; he\u2019s got himself a race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth, 46, has repeatedly tried to emphasize how manly he is throughout his tenure as defense secretary under Trump 2.0\u2014both in his policies and in his public persona.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Wednesday\u2019s strange measure to periodically monitor the testosterone levels of service members over the age of 30, Hegseth has sought to control service members\u2019 facial hair, eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in the armed forces, and block the promotions of female senior Navy officers.<\/p>\n<p>Coles also noted that the former <i>Fox &amp; Friends Weekend<\/i> host uses the military \u201cas his own personal sort of training camp,\u201d as he frequently posts videos of himself lifting weights alongside U.S. troops.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b>Find and subscribe to Inside Trump\u2019s Head with Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles on <\/b><\/i><i><b>YouTube<\/b><\/i><i><b> and <\/b><\/i><i><b>wherever you get your podcasts<\/b><\/i><i><b>.
