What Sparked The Reaction
Trump’s outburst followed a report claiming he had confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over alleged weapons shortages during a cabinet meeting last Friday at Camp David. According to the Washington Post, which cited two unnamed sources familiar with what was said, Trump told Hegseth he felt misled, since he had believed the shortage issue was already resolved. The Post reported that Hegseth defended himself during the exchange and pointed to his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, as being responsible.
