President Donald Trump<\/a> knocked what he called a “stupid question” from ABC News’ Terry Moran about his confidence in Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During a sit-down primetime interview marking his 100th day in office Tuesday, Trump was asked about his conversations with Hegseth, who has made headlines in recent weeks over his work-related use of the encrypted Signal communication app as well as the ongoing turmoil at the Pentagon resulting in the ousting of his top aides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Did you take him to the woodshed?” Moran asked.<\/p>\n

“I had a talk with him, and whatever I said, I probably wouldn’t be inclined to tell you, but we had a good talk,” Trump responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He’s a talented guy, he’s young, he’s smart, highly educated, and I think he’s gonna be a very good defense- hopefully a great defense secretary, but he’ll be a very good defense secretary,” Trump added.<\/p>\n

“You have 100% confidence in Pete Hegseth<\/a>,” Moran followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t have 100% confidence in anything, okay? Anything,” Trump shot back. “‘Do I have 100%’ – It’s a stupid question.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a pretty important position,” Moran interjected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“No, no, no,” Trump pushed back. “You don’t have 100% – only a liar would say I have 100% confidence. I don’t have 100% confidence that we’re gonna finish this interview.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We will,” Moran asserted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
