T**** faces yet another crisis after The Atlantic’s Jeff Goldberg exposed a shocking intelligence breach. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz mistakenly added the journalist to a Signal group chat—including top U.S. officials—where Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared battle plans for a Houthi attack in Yemen.
Waltz is under fire for creating the unsecured chat, but Hegseth faces greater scrutiny for jeopardizing American troops. Despite the severity, accountability seems unlikely. Attorney General Pam Bondi downplayed the leak, and T**** dismissed it, attacking the reporter instead.
Politically, T****’s week hasn’t fared much better. Democrats pulled off a surprise Pennsylvania Senate win, signaling GOP vulnerability. Meanwhile, he withdrew Elise Stefanik’s U.N. nomination to safeguard a tight House majority.
As T****’s approval ratings slip, he’s trying to shift the narrative—this time with new tariffs. But distraction tactics won’t erase this national security debacle.
