Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic wrote a detailed story about how Trump administration officials accidentally included it in a group cat cat on the next US military strikes in Yemen.
The incompetence and negligence are breathtaking, so it is not a surprise when Trump was asked about this situation in the White House.
A journalist asked: “Your reaction to the story, the Atlantic who said that some of your best officials of the firm and aid discussed very sensitive materials by signal and included an Atlantic journalist for this. What is your answer to this? “
Trump replied: “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of the Atlantic. It is, for me, it’s a magazine that comes out of business. I think it’s not really a magazine, but I don’t know about it.”
The journalist tried to continue: “You say they had what they used, they used the signal to coordinate on sensitive materials.”
Trump was both confused and seemed to have no idea what signal was “to have to do with what?” Have to do with what? What were they talking about with the Houthis? ”
Trump continued: “The Houthis? You mean the attack on the Houthis? Well, that could not have been very effective because the attack was very effective. I can tell you. I don’t know about it. You tell me for the first time.”
