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.

U.S. President Donald Trump took the stage on Saturday to address the crowd attending the Army's 250th Birthday celebration, which featured a parade showcasing U.S. military equipment earlier in the day.

The schedule of events in Washington leaned strongly into themes of patriotism and gratitude for the Army on its 250th anniversary. The festivities included a range of exhibitions, fitness competitions on the National Mall, a recruitment drive and showcases of historical uniforms and equipment.
