Trump Says Pete Hegseth Is Having 'Fun' In Iran War, Doesn't 'Want It To Be Settled'
President Donald Trump said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth doesn't want war with Iran to end. He's having too much fun, apparently.
In a White House meeting with reporters on Tuesday, Trump claimed peace talks are ongoing with Iran, even as airstrikes continue and thousands of U.S. troops are reportedly being sent to the Middle East.
Despite these alleged peace talks, Hegseth would rather the killings continue, according to Trump. After Hegseth gave remarks — including saying "we negotiate with bombs" when it comes to Iran — Trump took to the podium to point out Hegseth's enthusiasm for war.
"You know, the only two people who were quite disappointed – I don’t want to say this, but I have to," Trump said about possible negotiations with Iran. "I said, 'Pete, and General Razin Caine, I think this thing’s going to be settled very soon. And they go: ‘Oh, that’s too bad.’"
Trump smirked in Hegseth's direction.
"Right? Pete didn’t want it to be settled," Trump said. "These guys are doing a great job."
Trump also used his remarks to say Hegseth didn't save Iranian Navy ships that the U.S. could have taken because bombing them was "more fun."
"They’re totally defeated," Trump falsely said about Iran. "You know, we killed their Navy, in, would you say three days, Pete? Gone. In fact, I was a little upset with Pete, I said: ‘Why didn’t you save the ships? We could have used them!’ He said ‘It’s more fun shooting them down!'"
Stand them up against a wall.
SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR!
