Author reveals the bond that binds Trump and Pete Hegseth

President Donald Trump and his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, appear to have a special bond, and one author who has written about Trump for several decades revealed why that is during a new interview.

Hegseth has seemed like a unicorn in the Trump world because he has generated negative press coverage for the administration and has not yet been removed from his job. For instance, Hegseth was at the center of the Signalgate scandal last year, where plans of a U.S. strike against the Houthis in Yemen were leaked to The Atlantic.
