Trump Press Secy CRIMINAL MELTDOWN over text scandal

In a Newsmax interview, Trump addressed a major national security scandal involving leaked war plans, with his team offering contradictory excuses to cover it up. Trump also floated the idea of compensating January 6th rioters, portraying them as patriots while downplaying their actions. He then suggested that God saved him the day of the assassination attempt in order to rescue the country, adding to his self-aggrandizing rhetoric.

Trump COLLAPSES over texting scandal, CAUGHT LYING

In a Newsmax interview, Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the administration over the leaked text scandal with authoritarian-style rhetoric. She falsely praised Trump’s national security team while deflecting blame onto journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, suggesting he may have "hacked" into the chat. Leavitt followed the usual Trump playbook: praise the leader, attack the media, and downplay misconduct.

Trump MELTS DOWN, advisers SHOCKED

Donald Trump’s latest cabinet meeting was a chaotic spectacle, with him forgetting Usha Vance’s name and bizarrely referring to Greenland as a “concept.” He made confusing statements about upcoming policy announcements, including vague promises about cars, steel, and pharmaceuticals. This so-called cabinet meeting, reported as the full event rather than just a press moment, underscored the disarray in Trump’s administration.

Trump LOSES IT over ugly portrait of himself

Donald Trump posted an angry rant on Truth Social about a portrait of him in the Colorado state capitol, claiming it was intentionally distorted. He compared it to Obama’s portrait, suggested the artist had lost her talent, and said Coloradans were furious. This is another example of how empires decline—not through sudden collapse, but through distractions that serve no one.
