Trump: "What it was, we believe, is somebody that was on the line with permission, somebody that worked with Mike Waltz at a lower level, had Goldberg's number or call through the app, and somehow this guy ended up on the call."

Hearing this makes me think Trump's envisioning Waltz and Hegseth are on the downstairs "landline" talking with everyone, while Goldberg is upstairs in mom and dad's room sloooowly picking up the extension and listening in.... case solved!
It is appalling that, just because no US defence personnel were killed due to this information being leaked to the wrong people, that they consider it to be not a big deal?
Do people have to die? Then will action be taken against them?
Tangential gripe: I have a two year old car. It’s paid off. It runs fine. I plug it in at my house when it’s low on go juice. And these jackasses make me wish it was, like, literally any other brand.
It’ll end up Goldberg will go to Guantanamo for using his Jedi-like mind powers to make someone add him to a call he would not have known was happening, you know, for his Jedi powers.
Holy shit this makes it worse! He is completely clueless, and being kept in the dark! No technological comprehension either. This ladies and gentlemen is our president 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Ah got it.........................they were discussing military secrets on a party line and someone pickup their phone and listened in. Now it all makes sense. Thank goodness for Trump's brain power.
Fine, but, not one, ONE of the others present noticed or inquired about a particular unknown? That’s pretty elementary. Not suited for the offices they hold since they all require expert knowledge in SECURITY!!
Just stupid. The problem for Trump is that Goldberg was on the chat. The problem for the U.S. is that they were having an unsecured chat wherein they disclosed combat plans. This is typical of Trump’s thinking.
This is like The Sopranos where you realize all the mob bosses delegate to underlings so they can have legal protections, and it turns out all the underlings are idiots, and the bosses aren't all that bright either.
Gonna be honest: my first thought was really about the guy who kept taking a shit before whacking someone, but that is a better example. We were probably very close to bombing 'Yeah, Minsk'.
Didn't Waltz say earlier today that he'd never met Goldberg before? Contradicts Goldberg's article that says they had. This Trump clip contradicts what Waltz has said tonight on Fox. No aide involved! This shitshow admin, unsurprisingly, can't get their story straight. https://apnews.com/article/trump-signal-group-chat-waltz-28fe929a3c383bc585659aeee889af98
The House is obligated to investigate as thoroughly as they did Clinton for years while she was SOS, and when she was running for POTUS 4 years after she was SOS.They must investigate each person on this chat who used unsecured devices while overseas & not in a secure SCIF
According to the Handbook of Republican Situational Ethics, written by Newt Gingrich, updated & revised by Mitch McConnell with a new foreword by Kellyanne Conway (a book they study more carefully than the Bible), the only obligation is if a Democrat did it.
So to be clear…the commander and chief was not on the call of a military operation? And as usual he doesn’t know anything about it. This is leadership quality?
The invite is NOT the problem. The use of non-archived, non-government systems violates federal law. Although you should all stop sharing your credentials with your admins, to be safe.
Donny claimes his attack on Yeman was a "total success". But it wasn't because of his team of misfits, but because of the integrity of one man, a journalist that he has called a sleezebag in the past. Imagine if Goldberg had the same kind of retaliatory attitude that Trump has.
Personally I'm impressed at how quickly Trump got to the bottom of this...by finding a scapegoat to blame it all on.
As if the man had any clue of how this works.
why am I not seeing NYT articles and op-eds about trump’s age and incapacity? is it because he’s so heavy set so doesn’t seem as frail? or is it simply bc he’s not Joe Biden?
If I am going to educate the leftist Libs at work on how the details became public you guys need to give me one story. So far it never happen, the reported hacked the app and now a low level aide let Goldberg on the call
Now you see the real reason they chose Signal. They want to have discussions and make decisions WITHOUT Trump and worse yet, without Trump knowing about them.
The fucking DOD released a memorandum last week explaining that Signal had vulnerabilities that Russian intelligence was using to intercept communications and these clowns were operating a military strike while someone in their group chat was meeting with Putin in Russia.
Don't mind giving people the benefit of the doubt. But, with his track record, kinda hard to justify. Plus, the chat went on for a couple of days so not just a conference call.
They're just depending on their base not knowing how Signal group chats function. Much like they depend on their base not knowing how government or businesses or reality works.
Trump failure porn would be hilarious, except it's affecting real people.
We had the same in the UK when minsters couldn’t show WhatsApp messages because their phones were “lost” or “damaged”. They all hoped everyone - including people who use the app - wouldn’t know the messages don’t exist on the fucking phone and logging on from a new device would recall conversations
So Trump says somebody in Waltz’s office added Goldberg but Waltz is saying Goldberg hacked in to the message chain…these people are incompetent f’g nutjobs.
So now it’s some no name, low level guy, who had permission of course, had Goldbergs number and added him to the “call”. No one else did anything wrong he says, but he doesn’t know, but he was told. Mmkay.
Seems concerning that the president seems to think this is about a phone call, not a text-based messaging thread? Little worrisome that he doesn't even know the most fundamental thing about it
This is not even the point The point is why they're using signal in the first place but yes having a journalist in the group is inconceivable. They sll should be fired
This is nonsensical and also revealing that he is very worried. We should press this every fucking day, especially around Trump selecting the unserious, reckless and incompetent Vance, Hegseth and all others on that call.
Yep, like RR40 in his 2nd term during the Iran-ContraGate. At least he was honest enough to assume blame for the scandal (during his "the buck stops with me" speech). With this one, everyone knows DT47 will never ever do that.
He hasn't had a coherent clue for most of his life. He's gonna be the subject of case-studies for the next couple of decades, and never for anything he would consider flattering.
So war plans is NOT classified info. This president and administration is a fucking joke.. This needs to end now.. Btw fuckers I'm full blown American. Apparently we have to state that shit 🤷🏻♂️
Since.. Since all signal peeps plus trump all agree that there was no classified info. Jeff )Atlantic) I would say that’s free invitation to share all the info .. it was nothing so they are basically Saying, go ahead and release it. Can’t wait to see all of it.
Who HASN'T sent armed terrorist to attack our Capitol and kill cops, just to relax after a exhausting rape of a young child with our longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein?
in Trump world, if something bad happens, one should always find the lowest rank person to blame and the highest ranked person bears no responsiblity. Obviously, when it comes to taking credit for good things, the opposite applies. How does anyone who has ever worked for him not despise him?
It’s a lie, and then a falsehood, and then a prevarication, and then a fabrication, and then misinformation, and then disinformation, and then deceit, and then misrepresentation, and then complete dishonesty, and then deception, and then perjury, and then trickery, and I’ve run out of characters
Yup - always blame the staffer/assistant & never take real responsibility or be held accountable.
How soon before Nazis Trump, Waltz & Hegseth blame it on a "DEI" hire?
Only low-level people will be fired over #Signalgate, if anyone is.
Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard lack honor. https://bsky.app/profile/donnayoungdc.bsky.social/post/3ll7k4ixv7c22
In what fucking universe is an underling of Mike Waltz having power to enter and remove literally anyone from a confidential government chat unquestioned by any of the participants remotely better than what actually happened? This is worse. Everything they say is worse. Shut UP.
You have White House attorneys to refer them to, what kind of delusional narcissist sics Elon Musk and Fox News on our public servants, cracks this country like a piggy bank for his friends, and then says you know what, I will confess to multiple felonies on camera today because America loves me.
Somehow this guy got on the line. You know, and maybe, we think that it might be the democrats, when you think about it its like the biggest hack, bigger than anyone's ever seen. And you know we have been ripped off by the democrats for years. We've had the best 2 months in history. Joe Biden
Anybody who's worked for a company with data security knows there's a whole verification process required before a device is added to a secure messaging platform. These guys communicated like teen boys arranging a video game sesh. The lies and gaslighting are off the charts.
Seriously - I would have gotten sued by Marvel for discussing this level of detail over an unapproved app. They had a Disney Slack and didn’t even want us to use that!
What really stings is not that I may someday live in an authoritarian country, it’s that I may someday live in an authoritarian country that is governed by SMFOAT. (Stupidest Motherfuckers of all time)
It’s much more painful watching how grossly unqualified, deeply delusional, and utterly incompetent the entire regime is but they somehow managed to pull off a coup
Trump’s Plan:
1. Dismantle checks and balances
2. Engineer economic collapse
3. Blame Biden to rally public anger.
4. Declare a national emergency
5. Push for centralised authoritarian control
6. Seize dictatorial authority

"Ooo, did you see what so &so did!!? OMG lol ❤️👀🙋"
Make sure your opsec is clean!
‘In 1 week, all evidence of crimes will self destruct’
I’d bet my beat up Toyota some staffer concerned about that added the reporter… not all heroes wear capes.
Do people have to die? Then will action be taken against them?
He might as well say it was a typical case of boogah boogah scoobity floobity.
🤬
We cannot afford this level of failure for them to start again, again and again trying for success!

Thanks Sherlock we figured that much out already.
That works especially well on Fox.
Fox "somehow" News.
Don the Con is notorious in managing, directing and controlling the news the media latches onto.
So was this an actual screwup? Part of me believes it was.
There is still another part of me that feels possibly another story is hidden. IDK
He feels comfortable, so that's good.
Shouldn’t drink and text. Hey, I pulled a Hegseth!
As if the man had any clue of how this works.
Jeebus.

Okay, so nobody's been able to explain Signal to him
Smfh.

Why do people agree to work for someone like him?
"Why is your administration the most incompetent and corrupt in history?"
Is it time to have the dementia discussion?
But their fascist view is now public and yet again the barriers to full blown war are chipped away at, yet again.
Polly want a cracker?
Are the orange-man parroting skills working today? Or is that a que-card off camera?

What’s his name? I want to see if I can find it on the group members list.
This is all so fucking disgusting.
