Trump “reamed” Hegseth in a phone call after the president said the Washington, D.C. parade honoring the Army’s 250th birthday and his 79th birthday didn’t give off the proper image, writer Michael Wolff, who has written several books on Trump, told the Daily Beast Podcast.

On his 79th birthday, President Trump spent more than three hours on Saturday taking in the scene at a military parade commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

President Donald Trump was unhappy with his sparsely attended military parade over the weekend and blamed it on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, biographer Michael Wolff revealed. Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast that Trump wanted a “menacing” show of force to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday on Saturday—but got a “festive” parade instead.
