And Trump goes full Sgt. Schultz when asked about The Atlantic story and takes swipe at the author. Because he does that. A lot.

Now the King told the lawyer men
You have to let that lawsuit drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The king he drove his Cybertruck
He went a rushing up the Hill
The leader was attacking
With the radiator grille

Elon don't like it
Burn the Tesla
Burn' the Tesla
Elon don't like it
Burn the Tesla
Burn the Tesla

It's not 1995 any more. Refusing to publish something isn't going to make the content go away. There's a whole outlet, called the Internet, that someone can publish the banned content.

If anything it gets out even quicker and spreads wider.

So the National Security Advisor sent top secret messages to the Secretary of State?

Damned if I'm smart enough to figure out exactly how or why, but: What if the Hegseth/Atlantic group text thing was somehow intentional? Like, maybe, a distraction to turn our heads from the diplomatic mess we're about to make by invading (checks notes) Denmark?

Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained as stupidity.
