WSJ: White House Leak Reveals Trump Booted From Briefing After Hours-Long Freakout

However, Trump's intelligence officials reportedly called the goal "farcical." Trump even ignored warnings from Gen. Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff whom he had appointed, that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely through asymmetric warfare. The stable genius indeed.
The White House Responds!

"White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said The Wall Street Journal article was “fake news.”

“Think about this: you, a sitting U.S. congressman, getting duped by fake news. Just imagine how easily you might be compromised,”

So, here we are: Jim and James being easily duped by "fake news" and therefore "easily compromised". I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO BE INVESTIGATED AS POTENTIAL NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS!!!

I guess gullible fools will believe anything.  Funny that when the left gets desperate, they resort to this stuff.  Gee, the world never has seen made up stories about Pres. Trump or any other Republican has it?

What's next from you leftists iiars.  A WEEKLY WORLD tabloid story that you are going to pass off as factual?
Especially considering it's from someone in the WH who posts himself as Jesus, so who could doubt him?!

"Most say Supreme Court avoids anti-Trump rulings"

"The Marquette School of Law national poll released Thursday found that 57 percent of respondents said the high court is sparing Trump from orders that strike his agenda; the same results were recorded in a January survey."

"A majority of Democrats, 79 percent, agreed with the sentiment that the Supreme Court avoids adverse Trump rulings, and 66 percent of independents said they feel the same, according to the poll."

Trump, when asked by reporters for a timeline on the war in Iran, "Don't rush me!"....

Karl Rove, aka "Bush's brain", on three Democrats as he sees as winners in the 2028 presidential election: glad to see Andy Beshear is one of 'em:  https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5845302-democrats-winning-formula-rove/

IMO, Beshear has the best shot and will likely win it if the progressive Democrats in the party don't screw it up...

Hmm, the Iranian delegate already left before they got there!      "Live updates: Iran’s foreign minister leaves Islamabad without meeting US envoys, Pakistan officials say". AP News.
