Retired Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominated by former President Donald Trump to lead the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denied ever wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat during his Senate confirmation hearing.
Trump had previously claimed that Caine wore the hat during a past meeting, suggesting strong loyalty. Caine clarified that he believes Trump may have been referring to someone else. The issue arose as senators questioned Caine's political neutrality and fitness for the top military role.

The elites in D.C. are always trying to force everyone to play their political games and pretend to be “neutral.” We need leaders who aren’t afraid to stand with the people, not just say what the Senate wants to hear.
