Interestinf to see that a couple of Trump's picks are "Norwegians."

Here you get to know the new U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who has Trønder blood in his veins.

(Trøndelag is my home region in Norway)



His great-great-grandparents, John Pedersen Hegseth and Anne Olsdatter Hegseth, moved to Minnesota in the mid-1800s.

Pete Hegseth himself has served as an infantry officer in Afghanistan and Iraq.

He was awarded two Bronze Star medals, typically given for heroism or meritorious service in a combat zone.

In the interview, he discusses how the left reformed public schools in the U.S., working to remove religion to make people more loyal to the government and believe in socialism.

He simply says that schools replaced faith in God with worship of the state.

Seems like a tough guy with a healthy dose of anti-state thinking.

In other words, a good old-fashioned Trønder 😁
