Political analyst Bernard Goldberg suggested Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may be the next administration official fired by President Donald Trump, following the recent dismissals of the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Writing for the Hill, Goldberg suggests that, while Hegseth enthusiastically supported Trump's Iran war, leaked reports indicate he was "caught off guard" by Iran's intense military response.
Goldberg predicted that if the Iran situation deteriorates, Trump will blame Hegseth rather than accept responsibility himself.
Goldberg also argued loyalty provides no protection when policy becomes unpopular on television, citing Noem's firing as precedent. Despite Noem's loyalty in deploying Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as Trump requested, her controversial comments calling slain Americans "domestic terrorists" damaged Trump's public image, prompting her removal.
Hegseth faces a similar vulnerability if the Iran war continues deteriorating.
