It highlights how officials, like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, appear more focused on staging dramatic performancesâsuch as dressing in costumes and showcasing physical prowessârather than fulfilling their official roles. This trend, dubbed the 'Cosplay Cabinet,' emphasizes style over substance, reflecting a cultural phenomenon where public officials engage in displays of hyper-masculinity instead of enacting effective policy measures.
