President Donald J Trump : Washington Post fake "reporting" about Pete Hegseth is treasonous
Truth Social ^ | 08/06/2026 | Donald J Trump

Posted on 08/06/2026 12:07:20 PM PDT by DFG

The Fake News, as usual, is spreading false and completely unfounded rumors. I am extremely happy with the job that Pete Hegseth is doing. Everything has been extraordinary, including our attack on Venezuela, where the result was accomplished in less than one day, allowing us to bring one of the worst criminals anywhere in the World, Nicolas Maduro, to Justice! Likewise, Iran, where the country has been decimated for the purpose of NOT ALLOWING IT TO EVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, is going very well! Pete is highly respected within the Military, and has made tremendous improvements, including getting rid of DEI, and increasing recruitment to historic levels. This rumor was started by The Washington ComPost, one of the worst Media Outlets in the business, despite our telling them their story is completely FALSE. In actuality, I really believe their fake “reporting” is treasonous! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Why is Trump not denying the accusations WaPo made?

What does Maduro have to do with the alleged falling out between Trump and Hegseth?

Now: there’s no interceptor shortage.

Previously: we need an additional $67 billion dollars because of shortages.


Google (AI):

“Donald Trump has occasionally praised The Washington Post when its reporting aligned with his interests.

While he routinely calls the outlet “fake news,” rare instances of praise include:September 2019: Trump gave the paper an unusual round of applause during a speech, publicly thanking them for publishing a “positive” story and column regarding his administration’s economic policies.

Pre-Presidency Era: Before launching his political career, Trump frequently complimented the paper and its owner, Jeff Bezos, often sending notes praising specific pieces of coverage.”

I fully back him on this point. We are playing Russian Roulette to ever allow those religious fanatics to have nukes.

No he’s not.

The story is about Trump falling out with Hegseth for not telling him about stockpile shortages.

Trumps denial goes nowhere near this issue.

How can he deny a stake without mentioning the story?

The truth is the opposite of whatever the mainstream media tells you.

Trump didn’t do anything regarding Iran during his first term. He and his war supporters seem to forget this fact.

Trump also forgot that he already declared victory and acheived the objectives early on. There is no need to be there. Then he went wacko and decided to wipe out an entire civilization.

Trump, March 12th 2026
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/donald-trump-says-ve-won-081633000.html

“We won. We won. In the first hour it was over, but we won.”

Pete Hegseth, April 8, 2026
https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4454276/epic-fury-quelled-for-now-objectives-accomplished-us-forces-remain-ready/
“Together with our Israeli partners, America’s military achieved every single objective

He said on April 7th that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if Iran failed to make a deal that includes reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz.”

“CAN HEGSETH SUE THE POST?”

Hope so. They’ve been sued before for these false stories.

This why they use “sources familiar” and “anonymous sources” That’s the pathway to just make stuff up.

Nothing, but when the president has nothing to say he has to say something.
