Summary
Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump’s reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting “quick onset dementia” whenever faced with accountability.
Stewart noted Trump’s aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.
Stewart criticized Trump’s repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.
He also condemned the “crazy arrogance” of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.
This is Trump’s way of stalling to give the GOP’s PR apparatus time to draft messaging that whitewashes the incident.
Other politicians would say “no comment” to buy time, and that makes them look guilty. Trump says “I don’t know yet,” which makes the incident look too insignificant for a busy person to pay attention to.
Honestly, it’s a smart tactic. It’s evil and shitty, but it’s smart.
That’s always the thing that saddens me. People think somehow Trump is both an idiot but stripping the government apart piece by piece at the same time. Even if he is dumb, there’s a powerful group of people behind him working hard to ensure they gain more money and/or power. And it’s pretty clear Russia is leading that charge. Trump isn’t in power because of some dumb mistake. It required a lot of money and effort, and the decisions he’s made in power are specifically benefiting those that put him there.
He’s not smart, he’s just had a lifetime to perfect the art of dodging accountability and becoming a figure that noone expects morality from… While somehow not being barred from positions of power. The del boy of american politics.
FOX News has already been gaslighting since the story broke
I guess it’s just another type of… Draft dodging.
First draft dodging.
It’s experienced that’s why, he’s had to do this shit dozens of times I bet
