The journalist had the same initials as a government official....so he was added to the text of addressees. That was bad enough but Trump's motley crew of amateur loyalists exchanged some texts about Europe....and trying to get money for anything that they did for Europe....that really they all should resign....but of course that won't happen. When Hegseth was initially asked about what happened....he actually denied it....and attacked the journalist....even though the administration had already acknowledged it? And Trump....two hours after it was in the news....on being asked about it by a reporter....acted surprised and said the didn't hear anything about it. This kind of fake transparency and dishonesty is what we can expect on anything in the future....because it is always what we get from Trump.
Note: Fifty-five years ago I was in the army with a top secret clearance....and worked in a compound. Nothing came out of that compound. If you blew your nose into a tissue....that tissue went into a burn bag.
Vance: "OK let's start. Give me ideas on how we can extort money from Europe?"
Hegseth: "I think that we should charge them for every bomb dropped on Germany in World War II.
Gabbard: "Do I really have to be in this meeting. I only have this job because of my looks?"
Sergey: "Here's an idea....how about annexing Norway for national security purposes?"
Rubio: "Lavrov....how did you get in this chatroom?"
Sergey; "Elon let me in....right Elon?"
Musk: "He paid a billion dollars for it. Anyone can get in for a billion dollars."
Rubio: "Elon....how did you get in here?!"
Musk: "I'm looking for fraud and someone to fire."
Vance: "OK everybody....let's settle down! Marco...."
Musk: "Polo!"
Vance: "This stuff is serious! Marco....."
Musk "Polo."
Vance: "Cut it out Elon! Marco....you are being very disrespectful to the President."
Musk: "😜"
Hegseth: "🔥"
Rubio: "President Trump is in here?"
John Baron: "No I'm not."
Rubio: "Who is John Baron?"
Vance: "I'm talking about President Putin."
Putin: "I am only here to tell you how great your President Trump is!"
John Baron: "If I was here I would say that I love Vladimir too....but I'm not here."
Vince's Pizza "Hey....who wants to order a pizza?"
Waltz: "Oops....I thought the VP meant Vice President?"
Bondi: "I'll take a small with pepperoni and extra cheese. Make it white sauce in case I spill some on my white Brunello Cucinelli twill jacket."
RFK JR. "I just banned extra cheese on pizzas."
John Baron: "And if I were here....which I'm not....I would tell you that I am putting a 100% tariff on Swiss cheese and French fries and Spanish olives and Canadian bacon and Irish stew and Swedish meatballs and Belgian waffles and Mexican jumping beans and Italian salad dressing and Polish sausage."
Musk: "Donald....I eat Mexican jumping beans at every meal. That's why I jump around like I do."
Vance: "OK....there's a problem here. Let's all switch over to Facebook where it is secure!"
Musk: "And why aren't we going to X?"
Rubio: "You're not going anywhere Elon. You don't have a security clearance!"
Musk: "Yes I do....Donald gave me Chief Justice John Robert's security clearance."
Hegseth: "This chat is over! I have to go on Fox and deny that this ever happened!"
John Baron: "Make sure you call it a hoax and a witch hunt! They fall for it every time."
Note: Trump has used fake names at times when he wanted someone to know something....but not that it was him who was telling them. John Baron is one of those names. In this recent Signal chat disaster there was someone that signed in as Jacob....and no one seems to know who that might be. Hey....maybe it was Trump....or maybe Elon?
Here is another ploy that Trump has used for a long time....he will say that....'a lot of people are saying' or 'a lot of people would like me to do this.' There may be no one saying anything but by putting it this way....if there is a blowback on the comment....Trump can always say that it wasn't he that said it....but he heard someone else say it. Yesterday he talked about a third term....and said...."a lot of people would like me to do it."
