Trump officials decline Sunday show invitations amid Iran strikes
CNN ^ | March 1, 2026 | Brian Stelter, Kit Maher

Posted on 03/01/2026 3:14:24 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

No senior Trump administration officials or cabinet members appeared on the Sunday show television circuit a day after the US and Israel began a major military operation in Iran, killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The absence of any Trump officials was noteworthy because many administration officials recognize the steep task they have in explaining the reasoning behind and the overall objective of the Iranian attacks to the American public.

The major TV networks requested representatives from the Trump administration for interviews. Such requests are standard practice but are considered especially important right now.

Trump officials may be a bit too busy to appear on CNN to field cheap shots.

I wonder if JFK officials went to the Sunday shows during the Cuban missile crisis.

“No surprise at all.”

none whatsoever: they’re in the midst of a war situation and don’t have time to be barraged with ignorant, gotcha questions ...

I find it utterly disgraceful that all democrats, except Fetterman, Rand Paul and two republicans are bitching about a president who finally had the balls to attack the Iranian regime……a regime that has armed terrorist groups, attempted assassinations in the US, backed terrorist groups in the US and the ME, killed our soldiers, taken our people as hostages and has destabilized the middle east since the 1970’s. And that’s not to mention their NUCLEAR AMBITIONS and the fact that they just killed thousands of Iranians!
These armchair quarterbacks playing right into hands of the opposition should be ashamed of themselves. IF these bitching contrarians had been in office during WWII, we’d have been shit out of luck. They need to STFU and support our military and our president who finally decided to say,”NO MORE!!!! SCREW THIS DEMONIC REGIME AND ALL THE DAMAGE THEY’VE DONE!”

Or if Clinton officials did, during Wag The Dog.

Trump’s guys and ladies don’t really need that Sunday morning booschitz. I’d tell the maggots to take a hike.
