Margo Martin appears not to be doing Pete Hegseth any favors as she exposed him to critics' savage opinions on his Iran war efforts.
The 30-year-old special assistant, who was once called the "most beautiful photographer" by her boss, President Donald Trump, 80, was back doing what she does best, documenting everything that goes on behind the scenes at the White House.
This time, Martin shared some footage from the president's meeting with the Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, where he declared that his country will permanently end hostilities with Israel and asked for backing in his efforts to disarm Hezbollah. At the meeting, Trump said he would be open to speaking directly with the Iran-backed terror group if Beirut asked.

Later in the day, the Secretary of defense appeared to say a few words. Speaking from the Oval Office and surrounded by press, the 46-year-old former television personality said, "Iran's been given every opportunity to negotiate to show that they're reasonable on those trade-off war moves."
"But they're going to shoot a commercial shipping, then we're going to hit them, as the president said, 10 times harder," he added as he gestured to Trump.
"Which every night would be degrading them further and further, and the president has all the options necessary. They want to talk; they can talk. Otherwise, they could deal with the War Department. The blockade is up," Hegseth concluded.
"@SecWar speaks in the Oval Office," Martin captioned the video, which was shared across her social media platforms, followed by an American flag emoji. The video quickly drew in a lot of attention, with viewers weighing in on Hegeth's remarks. One user blasted, "OOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGG!!! You Are the STUPIDEST A--HOLE of ALL TIME!!!
"Not only do you NOT know what you are doing, but your ONLY go to is blaming an administration that has NOTHING to do with your current BULLS--T!!! RESIGN NOW BOOZER LOSER!!!" the user added.
A second person echoed, "Pete Hegseth is essentially a pig. I understand from those in the know that he has a tiny p---s. That in itself isn't so bad, but the way he struts around like he is attractive to most women is hilarious. No wonder he is Uber-focused on appearance and testosterone. Idiot."
"This dumb forever war that Trump started MUST END NOW! We are not safer," declare a third person, prompting someone else to rage, "Heggy -i have no idea what im doing, experts all said this war was a terrible idea.
"They said iran would use the strait to strangle the world economy, they said we'd have to commit ground troops and take large losses in order to win, but we ignored them for market manipulation."
"He needs to get fired. We’ve lost enough of our men and women for this pointless war," a fifth fumed, with another adding, "lol what a loser you are. Lies, lies, lies. This whole administration is full of lying losers. God help America!"
It follows Hegseth revealing the latest estimate puts the cost of the Iran war to the Pentagon at about $37.5 billion so far and updated lawmakers who are overseeing a request from his department for $87.6 billion in additional funding. The money will be used to "reinforce peace through strength," Hegseth said.
