Whatever one may think of President Donald Trump, it’s hard to deny that the man is a quote machine.
That ineffable trait appears to have trickled down to his administration as well, if Secretary of Defense/War Pete Hegseth’s “60 Minutes” interview is anything to go by.
Hegseth recently appeared on CBS News’ flagship program and spoke about — what else? — the ongoing Iran conflict, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury.”
Now, it goes without saying that there are a lot of mixed feelings about the joint U.S.-Israeli military operation. Concerns ranging from economic ramifications to U.S. boots on the ground are all legitimate worries without simple answers.
Given that, it would’ve been easy for any other president’s Secretary of Defense to give demurring non-answers so as not to rile up the hornet’s nest.
Trump’s Secretary of War didn’t choose that option.
Here’s Hegseth’s response when pressed on whatever it is that Trump is planning on doing in the Middle East:
🚨 WOW! SecWar Pete Hegseth just FIRED BACK at the Fake News who think they know President Trump’s secret Iran military plans, and jump to panicked conclusions
“You don’t tell the ENEMY, you don’t tell the PRESS, you don’t tell ANYBODY what your limits would be on an operation.”…pic.twitter.com/Dn1sfwaTWU
