Trump said that even though a journalist from The Atlantic was inadvertently added to a private chat about military plans, his presence had “no impact” on the military strikes in Yemen.

Summary

Trump defended National Security Adviser Mike Waltz after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing Yemen military plans.

Trump dismissed the incident as a minor mistake, saying Waltz had “learned a lesson.”

Democrats criticized the security breach, demanding an investigation into the use of unapproved messaging apps for classified information.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House officials denied sharing classified material, calling the chat a “policy coordination” effort.

    The silver lining to this descent into fascism is how pathetic it is, make sure to keep laughing, it is an acid that eats away at a forced serious tone of fascism.

      Yeah, I was afraid that this time Trump would’ve hired people that knew what they were doing, but luckily he didn’t. They’re still dangerous ideologies and the roadmap they have in project 2025 is still scary as fuck tho.

      Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.
