The White House is publicly defending Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after he texted sensitive military information in a Signal chat. But behind the scenes, administration insiders are starting to express doubts about the Pentagon chief’s judgment.

Officials agree national security adviser Mike Waltz, who accidentally invited a journalist to a group chat with senior leaders, could more easily take the fall for a scandal that has embarrassed the administration — which may end up sparing Hegseth his job.

But Republican hawks, Pentagon officials and even some inside the White House now believe Hegseth also messed up by sending likely classified details from his phone. And that has the potential to undermine his credibility in the administration.

Because Trump clearly likes and has publicly exonerated Hegseth, “you’re not going to hear a huge public outcry,” said a senior GOP official on Capitol Hill who is close to the White House. “But, privately, there is a lot of concern about his judgment, more than with Waltz.”

Even for a Pentagon chief who has copied Trump’s pugilistic style — down to his Sharpie signature and campaign-style videos — Hegseth’s growing pile of mistakes are getting noticed, according to four officials and two people in touch with the administration.

“The problem is this is another example of inexperience,” said a person close to the White House, who like others, was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive issue. “What happens when Hegseth needs to manage a real crisis?”



I’m sorry but he’s doing a great job.


In what way?


No American has died in Afghanistan yet.

4 Americans just died in Lithuania.

They should keep him in to keep collecting evidence against him and his friends.

Russian email address? He’s one of many that better hope that Trump cheats his way into another term, because there might be trials and firing squads in the future once we get the country back.

Unless he is videoed drunk, drops dead, or beats his wife. Jan. 20, 2028, or as long as trump is president.

Trump will not replace anyone because he has their undying loyalty to him not the US Constitution. UNLESS, hs conduct/decisions impinge on trump's popularity. This is true of everyone in trump's administration

There is going to be another crisis stemming from his incompetence, and it will have a worse fallout than this one. So maybe within 6 months-1 year?

Oh please, he'll cut them loose as soon as he feels like it/ You think there isn't another underqualified drunkard to take this DUI hire's place?

Only #2 on that list is disqualifying for Trump.

You aren't understanding that these people do not care about anyone outside their gang at all. They are consolidatig power, ignoring laws, controlling the media feed to their cult, and planning on usurping the next election.

I guess you missed the part where over 50 civilians were killed in the Houthi attack, including women and children. And the delicious tidbit contained in the Signal chat where participants applauded the bringing down of an entire apartment building to get at one bad guy. Sadly, our government has always dealt in Death and Destruction, and this one is no different.


It’s also DemocratIC Party, not “Democrat Party”. Could be a typo, but 99% of the time it’s deliberate disrespect. Misnaming your opponent is a popular propaganda tactic. Whenever you see that, the rest of the take can be discarded.

I know right? Whenever I see someone write “Democrat Party” I just skip to the next comment.


Why do they do that?

Loose lips sink ships. We’ve known that since, what? Forever? Sloppiness gets Americans killed.

We know Trump doesn’t actually care about our soldiers - the question is why they are so fiercely loyal to someone who does not care one whit about whether they live or die. It’s one thing to die “defending freedom”. Quite another because your boss invited a spy into the group chat.

Or are you democrats still supporting racism?

Who brought back the Confederate base names while pretending to honor soldiers who happened to have the same last names as the Confederate generals? It sure wasn't Democrats.

Actually, this one IS different. This one seems to ENJOY the death and destruction. (NP)

I assume you mean Jan. 20, 2029.

Now go back and compare the Trump #1 administration with Biden. I think you will find that there was a lot more cabinet turnover under Trump. Seriously, Lloyd Austin should have been fired on numerous occasions but somehow wasn’t. At least Trump was willing to fire people who weren’t up to the job.

In any other administration these people would have resigned by now.
