Donald Trump is starting to grow weary of the ongoing controversies plaguing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to a new report.
While the president has stood by Hegseth in public, he has shown less enthusiasm behind closed doors, The Atlantic reported Friday, citing several unnamed sources familiar with White House discussions.
“[Trump] is starting to tire of the scandals surrounding Hegseth and does not push back when others suggest Hegseth is not up for the job, an outside adviser to the White House and a former senior administration official told us,” The Atlantic reported.
An unnamed senior administration told the outlet it’s been a “rough week for Pete.”



Hegseth is so, so much worse than Benedict Arnold.
Literally the Benedict Arnold name should fade to obscurity and be replaced with Pete Hegseth.
Sorry to all the Pete’s out there.
Trump is so much worse than Hegseth, now what?
We’re gonna have to find a new name for Donald Ducking it (poohing bear?)
