Trump claims his top national security officials discussing war plans in a Signal group that included a journalist was "the best technology for the moment"

No let him keep talking. Let him say in a complete sentence “we were discussing classified war plans on signal because ____” so they have to rethink their “it wasn’t classified, it wasn’t war plans” lie approach
JFC, everyone knows there are secure communications involving secure rooms and lines. The fact that this sort of stupidity has not happened BEFORE is very telling. Just like all the plane crashes that weren't happening BEFORE. Bottom line: total incompetents in this Admin., merit qualifications?
Why does Trump keep lying about the Money the United State has given to the Ukraine War effort when 70% of that money was in WW2 weapons we had stored away. Try the truth Trump!
I must post this every time he flaps his lying lips
He has no idea what he’s talking about
He is that rare combination of willful ignorance and blinding stupidity wrapped up in a malignant narcissistic & sociopathic wrapper

The dude shits his diaper and is too stupid to operate a door knob but sure, he knows alllll about encryption and secure communication technology. And him repeatedly insulting Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic is classic Hair ShitFuror BS.
Trump is a mascot, a puppet head. He’s dumb, easily manipulated and petty. Thiel, musk and other billionaires are running things. He’s just there like a carnival barker spewing nonsense and sneaking off to golf.
"The very good [technologies] are too cumbersome, hard to access" .... so, you're a first world government run by billionaires and u can't access resources for communication beyond a free social app? What's next, using shared Google docs?
That's rich coming from someone that had no idea about the leak in the first place! And, stored top secret documents next to the shitter! We're fucked!
A 2023 DoD memo prohibited use of mobile applications for even "controlled unclassified information," which is many degrees less important than information about on-going military operations.
These people are lawless and Signal is prohibited.
Yeah, I'm a priest, and I use Signal. But I would never, ever use it for Confession, because I don't think even IT is 100% safe. I can't imagine why I can figure this out, and the greatest minds of MAGA seem incapable of doing it.
All that participated in this chat must be impeached @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Democratic leaders should be communicating this in the town halls the repubs are too cowardly to hold for their constituents
So, NOW it wasn't classified. I guess it's not necessary that an attack be kept secret. The reason is probably because you want to alert the target that you are coming so they can be ready to repulse that attack. Makes sense. I guess someone misinterpreted Shakespeare's "Alls fair in love and war".
Once in a rare while he can’t readily come up with a digestable lie & he just deflates like this. The figurative bludgeoning of him and his administration over this needs to ramp up even more.
These are the same assholes that wanted to hang Hillary in the town square for using a personal email account. They're plotting the demise of our Democracy for any Russian to hack! WTF?!!??
Were the phones GrapheneOS sourced via secure supply chain, unlikely?! Did they use a SCIF, definitely not. Best technology for the moment, how the hell would he know! They should all be fired!
Good security practices are too cumbersome. Got it. I mean, you're only talking about national security. But sure, too cumbersome seems like a great defense.
Hey! Here's an idea! Since he thinks Barton is a genius when it comes to technology because he knows how to turn a computer on, maybe he can do something here???
Trump doesn’t know what was leaked, who leaked it, he doesn’t know what Signal is or that it’s outrageous that his people were actually using it for meetings where Secret info might be discussed.
Pardon me if I don't go to a man who thinks it's a bewildering computer skill to be able to turn a laptop on after you've turned it off, for advice on cutting edge technology.
This comment has been living rent free in my head since the Gran Facismo Car Show at the WH. It encapsulate so perfectly what a ignorant boomer Trump really is. A bully and a simpelton.
I respect UR position & wouldn't take advice from 1 who does not check w/ Tesla's engineers about which ideas he nixed in order to rush an EV into the market for his financial grift "just hold it together with Elmer's glue & keep the edges it looks futuristic." "But Sir Musk, this is a prototype." 🦁
He's probably drugged half insensible to keep him from bouncing off the walls & throwing things. Remember how MAGAts claimed Biden was being 'drugged up' for the debates? (Biden was coming down with COVID at the time)
I think Rump would flunk a drug test at any time-He's got his pusher in the WH
I am a Wall Street lawyer (don’t boo me) and there are literally 20-30 SEC actions out there against investment banks for millions and millions in fines for using off-channel mediums like Signal in violation of records preservation requirements. 🤔 it’s a fucking crime here!
The National Security Agency sent out an operational security special bulletin to its employees in February 2025 warning them of vulnerabilities in using the encrypted messaging application Signal, according to internal NSA documents obtained by CBS News. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nsa-signal-app-vulnerabilities-before-houthi-strike-chat/ #SignalGate
Grandpa Dementia is one of those incapable of learning how to set the time on an old VCR. Also, his idea of opsec is to eat as much of the paper notes & briefs as possible, flush the remainder down the toilet, and pardon dangle for accomplice silence.
Certain I heard them say that this isn’t standard procedure for communicating that type of info but whatevs, they do what they want now-zero consequences and no accountability
🧐 then how come a week ago the Pentagon issued a notice to all staff that Signal could have issues & it’s not to be used for classified intelligence? And this was definitely classified no matter what lies they spew.
Imagine being the contractor the U.S. government paid billions and billions of dollars to build proprietary SCIF and security tech only to have the "DOGE" President say the best product is a tool any 16 year old can get from the iTunes store for free.
Of course not, Donald is a Treasonous American Traitor, adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, tax dodger, draft dodger, pedo, Pathological Liar, No 1 Insurrectionist. He needs to go away.
my god he is the biggest idiot on the face of the planet!!!! ' we have to use the stuff that is sort of good because the really good stuff is just too cumbersome to use'...
Well he admitted it. They used Signal in part because to do it the right way would have been "cumbersome". Which it would have been. For a reason. Anyone who is not willing to do the WORK of national security should not take the job or at the very least should not keep it.
I think former military personal need to speak out more vocally. There has to be republican vets unwilling to tolerate this bullshit. How can you serve in that way and then sit back and watch this circus if you know better.
I dont even know what to say. My grandparents are rolling in their graves. There is a correlation between higher education and voting against Trump. Vets deserve respect and support but it’s problematic when you use angry meat heads for soldiers due to their malleability and effectiveness as weapons
so all the denials by everyone else just got overturned by the Felon in Charge! Got it. He acknowledges the breach in security. He owns it. IMPEACH HIM NOW!
Well, we used to string Campbell's soup cans together and shout at each other over a hot parking lot at school because it was the "best technology for the moment" then, too.
Is Trump aware of SCIF technology? That’s where you discuss war plans. Why do I know it and Trump doesn’t? When are voters going to stop electing incompetents?
This from a man who apparently does not use a computer at all. Has anyone ever seen a picture of him on a computer? Or any high tech device? A phone is not included as all he uses it for is to send messages. Not sure that it is even him sending them.

Are a clear and present…
Danger
These people are lawless and Signal is prohibited.
Totally illegal, but "best"...
But maybe we should just move everyone to a party line so it’s easier to access?
Not sure that argument holds up in court for regular people.
This is a good thing for the rest of the world, because no sane intelligence agency will share intel with the U.S.!

It’s that his supporters believe him

He is complicit
You know what's even less reliable. Hand counting every fucking vote.

Trump and his entire administration need to be removed from office.

Behind the scenes, the Pentagon will be absolutely furious and incredulous at these civilian morons.
how did this moron pass up a chance to say that his only complaint is that they weren't using the clearly superior Truth Social?
