Furious Trump's Camp David Meltdown at Pentagon Pete Exposed
President Donald Trump butted heads with his self-styled "Secretary of War" during his Camp David retreat last week, a new report alleges. Trump, 80, railed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over being ill-informed about accounts of extreme munitions shortages amid his war on Iran, two sources familiar with the matter tell The Washington Post. The clash reportedly took place during a Cabinet meeting on Friday, where Trump raged at Hegseth that he thought the munitions problem "had been fixed." One source told the Post that the shortages, which were primarily of long-distance guided missiles and interceptors, were among the reasons why the president has eased up his missile barrages on Iran over the last week. Hegseth, 46, shifted the blame for the weapons shortages and the lack of communication about them to his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, according to the newspaper. "This is 100% fake news. Literally never happened," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Post. "President Trump has the utmost confidence in Secretary Hegseth." Feinberg, 66, received an angry call from Trump himself about the shortages Friday evening, and hastily held a "crisis" meeting with top Pentagon brass later that night, NBC News reported.
