According to a recent report, President Trump’s support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly waning behind closed doors, despite public displays of support. Sources indicate that Trump is growing weary of the controversies surrounding Hegseth, including the Pentagon’s authorization of strikes on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean, which has drawn both criticism and praise. Furthermore, the report details increasing scrutiny of Hegseth’s actions, such as his use of Signal to discuss a strike on Houthi rebels, and growing Republican pushback on Capitol Hill. While some Republicans continue to support Hegseth, other lawmakers are calling for further investigation, highlighting potential cracks in the former unwavering GOP fealty to Trump.
