‘At least controversial person on the table’: Donald Trump joked about Pete Hegseth’s controversies

The United States President Donald Trump did not give a chance to address the recent controversies of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sarcastically called him “at least controversial on the table”.
During a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Trump said, “I can start with Peat on the left because he is my least controversial person on the table,” and said, “We all know how good he is.”
44 -year -old Hegseth replied with laughter, “I think we are controversial because we are on the target” before Trump’s first 100 days of achievements and praising the President.
Hegseth said, “Whatever we have seen since your election and inauguration is no less than the recruitment Renaissance.” “American men and women want to join the United States Army led by President Donald Trump.”
Hegseth has recently faced an investigation on two signal group chat events and significant Pentagon departure. The first included a chat founded by the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, where Hegseth shared plans for the Hauthi attack. The second chat, including his family members and lawyers, discussed similar matters, although Hegseth said it was “informal” and “uninterrupted”.
The Pentagon experienced a remarkable departure including the dismissal of Colin Carroll, Dan Caldwell and Darin Cellic. Joe Kasper and John Yulot also left, in which the owlot published an important political piece about Hegseth’s leadership.
These incidents attracted public attention through interviews with Magn Kelly and Takkar Carlson, where former employees discussed the politics of Pentagon. Trump has maintained support for Hegseth, stating the Atlantic: “I think he is going to receive it together. There was one thing with me, a positive thing, but I did one thing to him.”
At Wednesday’s meeting, Hegseth highlighted the achievements of the Pentagon, including the “Golden Dome” missile defense system, F -47 fighter jet developmentAnd border security measures. He said, “We ripped the vocance from the army” and “Because of your leadership, Sir, I believe that we are making the army great again.” The cabinet meeting shown equal praise of other members.
