Turns out the Trump White House group chat is more action-packed than your fantasy football thread — and just as likely to have a stranger accidentally added. According to a report by The Atlantic, President Trump’s top national security officials were hashing out Houthi strike plans on a Signal chat when, whoops, they accidentally added liberal journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the thread.
Yes, that Jeffrey Goldberg — Biden booster and editor-in-chief of The Atlantic — who then ran straight to his keyboard to “raise questions” about how America’s wartime leaders talk strategy.
The leftist media couldn’t help but pounce, foaming at the mouth over “operational details,” as if someone handed Goldberg the nuclear codes. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was quick to pour cold water on the media hysteria, confirming no classified intel was discussed — and certainly no “war plans.”
Let’s be clear: this isn’t some deep state scandal. This is a group of seasoned patriots, using encrypted comms, coordinating real-time military strategy to protect U.S. shipping interests and strike back against Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen. And unlike the bowtie brigade at The Atlantic, they’re too busy defending freedom to worry about a wrong number.
The group included VP JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. If that list sounds like America’s varsity team, it is. And they’re getting results.
The Houthi strikes, as Leavitt put it, were “successful and effective.” Terrorists were eliminated. Trade lanes reopened. Mission accomplished.
The chat also revealed what many Americans already know: we’re tired of bailing out freeloading Eurocrats. “I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance said. Hegseth echoed the sentiment, blasting the “pathetic” unwillingness of European nations to lift a finger while the U.S. does the dirty work. Meanwhile, Stephen Miller hit the nail on the head: if Europe wants the U.S. military to play global mall cop, they better pony up.
Is that “imperial revenue extraction,” as some whiny EU diplomat huffed to The Times of London? No — it’s called common sense. Trump doesn’t believe in endless freebies. If our boys are sent to fight and bleed to protect global commerce, someone better help foot the bill.
Of course, the usual suspects are howling. Former CIA director Leon Panetta called it a “very serious mistake.” The Brits are nervously checking their WhatsApp settings. And somewhere, Jake Tapper is probably tweeting in all caps.
But here’s the real story: Trump’s America-First team isn’t hiding behind bureaucracy. They’re in the trenches, moving fast, crushing enemies, and making it clear to our “allies” that the days of Uncle Sam playing sugar daddy are over.
And if the left wants to spin this as a scandal? Let them. Americans know the real scandal is what Biden did for four years: ignoring our borders, empowering terrorists, and letting Europe mooch off our military might.
