President Donald Trump threw a Truth Social tantrum on Thursday over mounting reports that he's losing control of a crucial conflict. Trump teared into the The Washington Post, accusing the storied news organization of treason for reporting on a Camp David clash between Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over munition shortages in the Iran war. "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," Trump wrote. "In actuality, I really believe their fake 'reporting' is treasonous!"Trump claimed he was happy with Hegseth and his "extraordinary" work pursuing initiatives that include attacking Venezuela and Diversity, Equality, Inclusion initiatives. "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!"Trump also claimed the military is as fond of Hegseth as he is. "Pete is highly respected within the Military, and has made tremendous improvements, including getting rid of DEI, and increasing recruitment to historic levels," Trump wrote. Meanwhile, reports have been circulating of anger among military families who say their loved ones have been seized by ICE agents and trapped on a mold-infested ship where doctors warn conditions could drive them insane.
