On Air Force One, our president responded oddly to a reporter’s question about Tim Walz’s call for him to release his MRI results: “[I]f they want to release it, it’s okay with me to release it,” Trump said.
“It’s perfect. It’s like my phone call where I got impeached. It’s absolutely perfect…. [I]f you want to have it released, I’ll release it.”
When a reporter asked “What part of your body was the MRI looking at?” Trump answered: “I have no idea. It was just an MRI. What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing,” he said, pointing at the female reporter. He then pointed at another female reporter and said: “You, too.”
The man is not well. And we’re sick of him taking it out on women reporters simply trying to do their jobs. This is unacceptable behavior from anyone, much less the president.
Late night TV might be having fun with this stuff but we the people are not. Where is the responsible leadership in Washington? We don’t want Captain Queeg for president.
Next up. It’s reported Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered Special Ops commander Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley to “kill everyone” in a small boat off the coast of Venezuela on September 2. After a first strike left two survivors clinging to burning wreckage, Bradley ordered a second strike that killed the survivors.
Hegseth appeared to make fun of events. He posted an AI-faked cover of a children’s book featuring Franklin the Turtle with the title “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists.” It showed the fake Franklin in a military vest and helmet at the open door of a helicopter, firing what appears to be a rocket launcher at a burning small boat with a person and bundles in it while two other boats with armed men and bundles converge nearby. Above the image, the post read: “For your Christmas wish list…”
Hegseth might think targeting and murdering survivors is funny, but he’s about the only one who does. And it seems he’s figured out that it’s not the laughing matter he thinks it is. Because the scene is being set to throw Admiral Bradley under the bus.
Hegseth posted: “Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made—on the September 2 mission and all others since.”
To which a commentator promptly responded: “Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.”
In The Atlantic, national security scholar Tom Nichols called out Hegseth, for acting like “a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.”
The president doesn’t know what’s going on, just ask him. But he believes Pete when he said he didn’t do it. So yeah, he’s a rich dad covering for his spoiled kid. And neither one of them are going to take personal responsibility for this, or anything else requiring bravery, truth, moral integrity or allegiance to American values. They are not capable, trustworthy, competent or credible on any issue requiring true leadership.
It’s time the GOP Congress took some responsibility for getting us to this point, redeem the power you were given by we the people, and help do something to fix the country.
How did you think all of this would end when you allowed, accepted, enabled, tolerated, covered for, and agreed with all the lies, misinformation, and incompetence?
You’re finally finding out.
