TRUMP ERUPTS AT HEGSETH OVER DEPLETED WEAPONS
Donald Trump reportedly erupted at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a tense confrontation at Camp David after learning the U.S. military’s weapons stockpile was far more depleted than he believed.
According to The Washington Post, Trump demanded to know why he had been told the munitions problem had been “fixed,” as shortages of long-range missiles and air-defense interceptors have reportedly become so severe they are limiting U.S. military options in Iran. Hegseth allegedly pushed the blame onto Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg during the exchange.
What leadership!
The reported blowup comes as the Iran war stretches into its sixth month, with 18 American service members killed, hundreds more injured, and the Pentagon seeking an additional $67 billion from Congress to replenish stockpiles that defense experts warn could take years to rebuild.
