President Trump flew to Europe on Tuesday to join allied leaders at the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands. This year’s conference will focus on defense spending and international security challenges.
President Trump delivered remarks on Wednesday morning (US Time) to a packed room of reporters. During the question and answer period, anti-Trump hack, NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell, attempted to smear the president, the US military, and the Trump administration for only managing minimal damage to the Fordow nuclear facility during the US bombing raid last week over Iran.
After President Trump made a few remarks, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth jumped in and obliterated the NBC hack.
This was brutal!
Pete Hegseth: There’s a reason the President calls out fake news for what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders, the skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory, flying 36 hours on behalf of the American people to take out a nuclear program, is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom.
Then the instinct, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of The New York Times, is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons to try to hurt President Trump or our country.
They don’t care what the troops think. They don’t care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. Of course, we’ve all seen plenty of leakers. And what do leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole information or just the part that they want to introduce?
When they introduce a preliminary report that’s deemed to be a low assessment, you know what a low assessment means? ‘Low confidence’ in the data in that report. Why is there low confidence? Because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by 12, 30,000-pound bombs is buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated.
So if you want to make an assessment of what happened at Fordow, you’d better get a big shovel and go really deep because Iran’s nuclear program is obliterated. Somebody somewhere is trying to leak something to say, Oh, with low confidence, we think maybe it’s moderate.
Those who dropped the bombs precisely in the right place know exactly what happened when that exploded.
You know who else knows? Iran. That’s why they came to the table right away, because their nuclear capabilities have been set back beyond what they thought were possible because of the courage of a commander in chief who led our troops, despite what the fake news wants to say.
