The news this week that top Trump cabinet officials accidentally added a reporter from The Atlantic to a Signal group text about secret war plans is the definitive proof that this administration is packed with the dumbest people in America. But in addition to being grossly incompetent, they are also clearly corrupt, as evidenced by their secret chat on unofficial platforms about top secret intelligence. This move could have easily put Americans in serious danger, and accountability needs to happen immediately.
Donald Trump is glued to the television even more than usual, and he wants to see how the media is covering the fallout from the leaked war plans his morons sent out this week. The White House has already chosen their fall guy for the incident, but Trump is waiting to see how the media handles it and how bad the PR damage is to his administration. Firing a top official right now would be a horrible look, but Trump may be left with no choice.
Members of the Trump administration, including Donald Trump himself, have been bending over backwards to help Elon Musk sell more cars and endear him to the public. But according to the latest round of data, these efforts are actually having the OPPOSITE effect, driving Musk's approval rating into the ground. And this change in approval rating is being reflected in a decline in new applications for Tesla vehicles, even as other electric vehicles see a rise in demand - so the desire is there, just not for Tesla.
Donald Trump has once again violated Judge Juan Merchan's gag order against him by attacking the judge's daughter in an angry post on Truth Social. This time, however, it felt more like Trump was trying to test the water to see what he could get away with, as his attack on the judge's daughter had nothing to do with the post he put out. This could be a test to see if the judge is going to try to punish the sitting president.
