A true disaster is the best way to describe the Signal Chat Leak about the attack on Yemen, which included a journalist by blunder, and revealed secret intelligence information, which could have killed military personnel involved in the military strike on the terrorist group, the Houthis.
Donald Trump refused to take any responsibility for the horrendous blundering by his Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth; his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard; his National Security Adviser Michael Waltz; and his CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
No one is taking the blame and being fired or resigning, but if this had happened under Joe Biden’s Presidency, Republicans would be calling for the heads of the agencies mentioned above.
Republicans incessantly went after Hillary Clinton’s emails during the 2016 Presidential campaign, but now Donald Trump acts distantly from the controversy, calling it “a witch hunt”, his favored term to attack all critics on any issue or controversy that arises.
This controversy also undermines our foreign allies’ trust in the United States, as it is clear that Trump and his intelligence and defense leadership is incompetent, arrogant, and more interested in cozying up to dictators, rather than democracies!
I would put the emphasis on incompetence. This sums up my opinion of this Trump Administration.
