Here's the insane part of this story:

"On Monday, The Atlantic‘s Jeffrey Goldberg revealed that he had accidentally been added to a Signal group chat in which the Principals Committee – the heads of the top American national security agencies — debated how and whether to strike the Houthis earlier this month."

HOW THE HELL DOES A JOURNALIST GET INVITED TO A TOP-LEVEL SECURITY DISCUSSION??? Heads should roll.

If it was accidental he should have kept the info to himself

I don’t expect Trump to surround himself with ‘yes’ men.

Critical analysis of all actions regardless of who’s toes it steps on is a good thing.

The left thinks everyone snaps-to around Trump like nazi field officers.

Because someone wanted him to “accidentally” see it. Why though? That’s the real question.

And the Atlantic???

So I’m not believing this.

But if it’s accurate, Vance is way deep in the Tucker Carlson isolationist bs.

A bit of caution: Jeffrey Goldberg has a history of making 💩 up for clicks.

Dear Miami Rebel, thank you for posting this. While I fully trust you, when I read that this is Mediaite, my first reaction is to doubt it.

I will never trust anything from the Drive-By Media.

“I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now.

So

Trump expects good council

I question whether or not this was accidental or purposeful...

Goldberg? A "journalist" named Goldberg? I'm sure he is a pro-Hamas, pro-Iran mouthpiece.

Next step should be to deport all self-styled "journalists" to CECOT.

IMO, Vance is more of a liability than an asset.

Wished Trump had picked Vivek for VP. I don’t think Vance is going anywhere. If he’s elected President in 2028, I think he’ll flame out like Reagan’s Bush did.

Remember, these disagreement discussions are exactly what the President expects f his cabinet and of JD Vance. That way he i s not surrounded by “yes” men but by real debate from differing viewpoints. That's all good.

As to Goldberg being read in to security decision discussions, I doubt that was serendipitous.

The HOOTEES and Iran are getting the message that there is a large kicksh*tting on the way.Goldberg has been trolled and used as a leaker.

America’s come a long way since the Intelligence Community had ironically-named ‘Jew rooms’ where Jews were not allowed in discussions even if they were IC employees in good standing.

So Vance criticized Trump. So what? I don’t think Pres. Trump wants a bunch of “Yes men”. Sometimes a little criticism is good if it’s productive criticism. Pres. Trump wants people who are loyal of course, but criticizing him does not make one disloyal. And of course the critic could be wrong, everyone does this sometimes.

The Atlantic, lies, lies and more lies generally. That being said, I support what Vance allegedly said.

Perhaps because it is a false flag operation. That would be a logical explanation.. Trump is always working outside the box, and too many times I've seen him come out on top by letting the "news" outlets report BA story as a distraction for enemies, both foreign & domestic to see. It keeps them off balance, and they never know what to expect as a result.

Like Job said to the Lord, I say the say for the :Lord's tool Donald John Trump, "I still have faith in you."

Exactly...which one of these guys had The Atlantic‘s Jeffrey Goldberg in his contacts list?

Although... this could be a intentional release to deceive some foreign agency during all these foreign policy negotiations.

Yes a journalist has no business there.

However the Principals Committee is supposed to have disagreements. That’s the whole point of a committee; it wouldn’t be at all helpful to have people who just say “yes” to everything.
