Hey guys, buckle up, because the Trump Train is rolling full steam, and it’s tossing some serious shade at the usual suspects. President Trump came out swinging on Thursday, pointing fingers at Democrats for allegedly leaking intel about the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. You know, the one where Trump boldly declared the sites were “obliterated,” only for some pesky reports to suggest otherwise.
In a classic Truth Social banger, Trump didn’t just call out the Dems, he went full scorched-earth, suggesting the leakers should face the legal hammer. “The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!” he roared. No names dropped, but you can bet he’s got a mental list longer than a checkout line at Costco the day before a holiday.
Now, the plot thickens. CNN and former newspaper The New York Times, ran stories citing early intelligence that the bombings didn’t quite turn Iran’s nuclear dreams into a pile of rubble. Apparently, Tehran’s program might only be set back a few months they said.
What a surprise; the media’s painting Trump as the bad guy again.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn’t having it. “We’re doing a leak investigation with the FBI right now, because this information is for internal purposes, battle-damage assessments,” he said Wednesday. “And CNN and others are trying to spin it to make the president look bad when this is an overwhelming success.”
The media plays its favorite game: “Let’s Make Trump Look Incompetent.”
But wait, there’s more! The CIA and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are pushing back, saying further analysis shows the facilities were, in fact, turned into expensive piles of dust.
The Trump administration's stance made it clear that the strike was the only thing standing between Iran and a shiny new nuke. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck 'Nostrils' Schumer (D-NY) is out here clutching pearls, whining after a briefing that the administration lacks a “coherent strategy” and has “no plan” to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, maybe sit this one out. He’s also itching for a war powers vote, because nothing screams “leadership” like demanding more meetings.
Trump, never one to let the media have the last word, [or anyone else, for that matter] went nuclear (pun intended) on the journalists behind the reports. “FAKE NEWS REPORTERS FROM CNN & THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE FIRED, IMMEDIATELY!!! BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS!!!” he blasted on Truth Social, probably while sipping a Diet Coke. He’s also threatening to sue the pants off both outlets for defamation, demanding retractions and apologies.
The Times' top lawyer, David McCraw, basically shrugged and said, “No retraction is needed. No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so.” Oh, David, bless your heart for thinking anyone buys the “we’re just truth-tellers” shtick.
And just to keep things spicy, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had to swat down another CNN oopsie over the weekend. They claimed Trump’s team didn’t give Democrat leaders in Congress a heads-up about the strike. Wrong. Correction issued. CNN’s batting average is looking rougher than a sandpaper facial.
So, here we are: Trump’s calling for heads to roll, the media’s doubling down, and the Dems are doing what they do best—complaining without offering solutions. Just another day in the political circus, where the only thing getting obliterated is common sense.
