Press is very dishonest, not you, but the press is very dishonest. Do you have something to say?"
"I appreciate the question because it was interesting to watch, we had a chance to go along on the historic trip of Middle East peace, which our generation of veterans never dreamed would be possible.

President Trump publicly supported Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's new Pentagon press policy and suggested he could expel media from the White House.

Hegseth noted that the Pentagon used to allow broader access but now seeks common-sense controls.
