During a recent cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump jokingly referred to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as the least controversial member at the table, highlighting a moment of levity amidst Hegsethâs recent controversies. Hegseth responded that their controversies stem from their strong position on military issues, stressing the improvements in military recruitment since Trumpâs presidency compared to what he described as a demoralized state inherited from Biden. Trump echoed this sentiment, noting increased interest in military service and support for law enforcement.
I think we're controversial because we're over the target. Like so many things, Mr. President, you inherited a demoralized military that couldn't recruit, perceived as weak in Afghanistan and elsewhere because of Joe Biden.
These are cabinet meetings where they are very open and transparent. I can guarantee you Biden didn't do this. He didn't do this.
