And here, 8 years later, the media is still waiting for Trump to act presidential.

From today's New York Times.  

Mr. Hegseth, a 44-year-old Fox News host and military veteran, in particular has drawn negative attention about his lack of experience and support for combat veterans accused of war crimes. He also was the subject of a sexual assault complaint in 2017 in Monterey, Calif., although no charges were filed. But the campaign only learned of it after Mr. Hegseth was announced as the nominee, according to a person familiar with the decision. 

The surprise raised questions about how much — or whether — the campaign was vetting some of Mr. Trump’s picks.

Folks, there should be NO question!
