Trump backs Hegseth, calls reports to the contrary "treasonous"

President Donald Trump publicly defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday, stating he is extremely happy with Hegseth's performance. This support follows reports from The Washington Post and other outlets suggesting friction between the two regarding the state of the United States' weapons stockpile and missile shortages during the ongoing war in the Middle East. Trump specifically characterized the reporting suggesting a feud or disagreement between him and the Defense Secretary as being treasonous in nature.
