But in Trump’s world of 2025 it seems perfectly possible that the former Fox News presenter, who now leads more than two million men and women in uniform, remains secure in his position. Despite the fact that on Monday, the President indicated that his Defence Secretary may have gone rogue last week by suspending the delivery of air defence missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons to Ukraine, it is perfectly possible that Hegseth simply tripped himself as he tried to navigate the madness of daily service within the President’s chaotic court.
“For a long time, four years under the Biden administration, we were giving away weapons and munitions without really thinking about how many we have…we can’t give weapons to everybody all around the world”, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters on 2 July. “This President was elected on putting the country first and defending the homeland”, he added, implying that the Pentagon’s move was completely aligned with the White House.

Why don’t you tell me?”

As headlines scream about “Hegseth’s Humiliation” at the hands of Trump, in fact the Defence Secretary’s position may be significantly more nuanced. It was notable that during Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting, Hegseth sat directly to Trump’s left, and nodded in agreement as the President laid out the revised plan to flood more weapons to Kyiv.

Hegseth may simply have found himself zigging last week, unaware that Trump was about to zag. The President’s mercurial, quixotic approach to diplomacy runs the risk of leaving even his top lieutenants in doubt about his core priorities at any specific moment. The Defence Secretary may have believed last week that Trump wanted weapons shipments reduced to Ukraine, without appreciating that days later the boss would express renewed fury towards Putin and change his mind. This is simply the way the madhouse works.
Hegseth has already demonstrated that he has at least as many lives as a cat. But it is far from clear that the flap over weapons shipments to Ukraine has used up another of them.
