Trump team TEXTS war plan to RANDOM GUY, should IMMEDIATELY resign

The Trump administration leaked military strike plans by mistakenly including a journalist in a group chat, exposing severe incompetence. Officials, chosen for loyalty over expertise, launched a cover-up while downplaying the breach. This recklessness contradicts Trump’s past security rhetoric, undermining his claims of strong leadership.

OH NO: Trump admits he has NO IDEA what's going on

Trump either lied or was unaware of a major security breach involving war plans accidentally shared with a journalist. When asked about it, he dismissed the story and attacked The Atlantic instead of addressing the issue. His frequent denials and apparent disengagement raise concerns about whether he is in control of his administration.

From yesterday’s show:

Trump MELTS DOWN over how much power Elon Musk has

Donald Trump is in meltdown mode over reports that Elon Musk was set to receive a Pentagon briefing on U.S. war plans with China. Instead of focusing on national security concerns, Trump is furious that Musk is being treated as an important figure, threatening his own perceived power. This reaction highlights Trump’s insecurity, as he thrives on attention but lashes out the moment someone else is seen as influential.

From yesterday’s show:

Bernie WALKS OUT of interview because questions were THAT BAD

Bernie Sanders walked out of an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl due to the superficial nature of the questions, which focused on political speculation rather than substantive issues. Karl repeatedly pressed Sanders on a hypothetical 2028 presidential run and AOC’s potential Senate ambitions. The interview exemplified how corporate media prioritizes horse-race coverage and Beltway drama over meaningful discussions.
