Trump’s Betrayal: The Untold Story Behind His Fall Guy and the Shocking 20-Second Clip That Exposed Hegseth’s Rage

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced intensified scrutiny following the White House's implausible narrative regarding the September 2 strike, leaving onlookers astonished. Just hours later, Hegseth exacerbated the issue with a post critics deemed a passive-aggressive ploy to deflect accountability, coinciding with a resurfaced 20-second video that highlighted his contradictory statements. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asserted that Admiral Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley ordered the second strike, which resulted in the deaths of two survivors. Despite claims of “self-defense,” this perspective starkly contradicted the Pentagon’s Law of War Manual, which prohibits targeting shipwrecked individuals. As Leavitt reiterated Trump’s stance that Hegseth bore no blame, public disbelief erupted. Hegseth’s subsequent message, praising Bradley while attempting to minimize his own involvement, sparked outrage online. Lawmakers from both parties are now demanding detailed briefings as military law experts critique the strike as a flagrant breach of international law. The fallout could reshape military protocols dramatically.
