President Trump wants to promote one of the hosts of his favorite TV show by naming Pete Hegseth of “Fox & Friends Weekend” the new secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, a new report said Wednesday.

“I’ve been told President Trump wants Pete Hegseth to replace [David] Shulkin at the VA after he is fired,” Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich said in a tweet.

“President Donald Trump is expected to fire VA Secretary David Shulkin and is strongly considering replacing him with US Army Veteran Pete Hegseth,” Pavlich wrote on TownHall, citing sources.

Hegseth, 37, is a Princeton University grad who also has a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

He also served as an officer in the US Army National Guard in Iraq, where he was awarded a Bronze Star, and was head of the political advocacy group Vets For Freedom.

Hegseth’s name was floated as a possible VA secretary after Trump was elected, but veterans’ groups — including the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America and Amvets — opposed his nomination.

Hegseth for years worked for Koch brothers- and Republican-funded activist groups and think tanks that wanted all veterans to have the option of having private health care.

Critics said that would take money away from the VA and decimate the hospitals it runs.

“If Trump picks Hegseth, it’s going to be war,” Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, told the New York Times in December 2016.

“He would be a radical departure from what the VA has been for generations.”

“Fox & Friends,” where the hosts are supportive of the president, is reportedly Trump’s favorite TV program, and he often tweets about the show’s content.
