Signalgate: The latest Trump team screw up grabs big attention

The Atlantic published a transcript of text messages showing that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth detailed U.S. military attack plans in Yemen and on a Signal text chain.

“Secrets? What Secrets?” had been the standard reply from the administration prior to the Atlantic ’s recent revelation.

The Atlantic on Wednesday published a follow-up story that builds upon the first .

Trump emerged in the Oval Office after another day of embarrassment due to his laughable defense department team.

David Gergen : The president's people are pretending like they’re playing video games with real lives in the balance.

Hegseth should resign, Gergen says, but it's looking increasingly likely that the longer Trump waits to come up with a viable scapegoat the more he risks getting some of the mess on his own clothes.

Gergen writes: The Atlantic has handled Signalgate very well and so far their vetting of facts seems overwhelmingly and demonstrably accurate.

Hegseth and maybe Waltz are more likely than anyone to face the music for the cacophony they caused.

But that's America . George Carlin told us that when you are born in America , you get a front row seat to the freak show and so you should enjoy the ride.
