Hegseth is reportedly feeling the pressure.

Two sources connected to Hegseth suggest the former Fox News analyst has displayed worsening anger towards his staff, exhibiting an “obsession” with security matters.

“There’s a manic quality about him,” noted one insider. “Or let me put it differently, an even more manic quality, which is really saying something.” His behavior is described as visibly distracted, with reports of him pacing during meetings.

The other source elaborated, stating, “He’s crawling out of his skin.”

The unusual conduct of Hegseth has also included allegations of dismissing Pentagon officials for communicating with media and congressional personnel.

Hegseth, as Secretary of Defense under President Trump, has been lashing out at staffers.

Despite reportedly enduring multiple fumbles in his position, Hegseth remains in favor with President Trump, who has commended his efforts. Hegseth has recently advocated for renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, voicing displeasure with staffers wishing to delay this change.

His explosive temper has become more apparent, particularly concerning military operations across regions including Europe and the Middle East, during which he has lashed out at his team for seemingly minor challenges.

“He takes things personally when challenged – full-blown tantrums,” shared one source.

Another insider attributed Hegseth’s increased anxiety to Kirk’s assassination, describing him as “rattled” and “tense.”

Hegseth’s response to Kirk’s death indicates heightened stress.

“He’s spooked,” commented an insider regarding Hegseth’s demeanor since the incident.

RadarOnline.com has reached out to the White House for a statement.

Throughout his tenure, Hegseth has received criticism for his decisions and focus on purging military operations of perceived “woke” policies.

At a recent Turning Point USA event in Florida, Hegseth discussed re-establishing military “standards,” noting issues like nail polish color and eyelash extensions over military protocol and diplomatic discussions. This follows announcements regarding new military dress codes aimed at refining grooming and appearance protocols for service members.

“We’re examining overall fitness, grooming, and basic standards that have deteriorated, particularly under the last administration,” Hegseth shared with Congress.

In a short span, Hegseth has landed himself in heated controversies as national security officials, including Vice President JD Vance, top White House staff, three Cabinet secretaries, and intelligence agency directors utilized the Signal app for military discussions, resulting in sensitive information leaks.

Hegseth reportedly shared details about airstrikes, including aircraft types and launch timelines utilizing this chat, prompting a Pentagon investigation.
