I don't know anything about it. You'll have to ask them.

Paraphrasing, this is what trump has said when the compliant WH press corps politely asks him about signalgate.

He doesn't know anything about it at all he says. He doesn't know whose fault it was, or if classified information was involved. His demeanor is off too. He actually appears BORED.

When is someone going to treat him like an adult, and say "Sir, you are the President. It is your job to know."

The infantilization of this president has reached the level of insanity.

He never knew anything about anything. Then he sent you to his assistant who then sent you somewhere else. So frustrating.

If we had real journalism:

Reporter: "So you are either lying about it or you're incompetent: which is it?"

You said you didn't know anything about Project 2025, and yet your every move so far is to implement it.

everything. That Stephen Miller and his COS were likewise participants, yet he claims he "knew nothing," signals something is either "afoot (knives are out)," being "covered up," or the power struggle is coming to a head shortly--along of course with record-setting incompetence, corruption, and arrogance.

9. There are no mistakes.

He simply can’t process them.

Any “mistake” no matter how distanced from Trump it is was not a mistake. Since the universe revolves around him anything in any way negative didn’t happen. He has to support it or it makes him look bad because obviously everything revolves around him.

A mistake could mean he was somehow wrong or even that he isn’t all knowing. No way. Can’t be.

7. He's senile and is just sitting there w/ his mouth open all of the time. Every time I see him, he's looking worse.

He was wanting to be president again, but he sure isn't acting like it, gasping for breath, barely in the room when he is physically there, the senility is hitting him and hitting him hard, I guess too many drugs up his nose has finally gutted his brain.

He also said he never signed the Alien Enemies Act. Knows nothing about it. He looks awful lately. Like something is terribly wrong.

I mean several failed businesses and bankruptcies. Now it seems his clown car cabinet keep him occupied with golf, and magat media outlet interviews when they need him to gloss over their latest screw up.

And he never knows anything about it. For example, about the recent Signal platform debacle, when asked about Hegseth's participation on the thread, he responded why bring Hegseth's name into it as he had nothing to do with it.

Of course the incompetent ex-weekend FOX anchor had everything to do with it

trump is just a figurehead now, hardly knows anything that's going on...and he's supposed to be the president. Early on in his presidency when many Dems where yelling for party Reps and Senators to 'do something', I kept thing, let's be patient as that admin with those appointed clowns were bound to screw up...and it's happened over and over again with the mass firings then having to rehire, the plane crashest, Musk's teen/20-something hackers rummaging about in dept. and agency files and making cuts, and now the biggest one of all...this Signal thread describing top secret war plans.

They've fucked up bigly now...as the sick fuck himself would say.

As much as our compliant press pretends not to notice, I don't know how long they can keep it up. It's getting truly weird and dangerous.
