Three Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump shut down the media’s manufactured controversy about National Security Adviser Mike Waltz with five simple words: “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man,” deflecting attention from the media’s attempt to create a scandal.
- While the media obsessed over routine military communications, they ignored the Trump administration’s successful strikes against Houthi terrorists, showcasing the administration’s effective defense of American interests.
- Trump’s leadership contrasts with the Biden administration’s failures, particularly in Afghanistan, as his “America First” doctrine continues to deliver results and maintain regional stability through targeted military operations.
The legacy media thought they finally had Donald Trump cornered.
Jeffrey Goldberg was licking his chops.
And Trump destroyed the fake news media with these five words about Mike Waltz.
Trump backs his National Security Adviser amid media frenzy
The Democrat Party and their media allies were chomping at the bit to manufacture another crisis for Donald Trump.
This time, the liberal media machine set their sights on National Security Adviser Mike Waltz over routine military planning discussions that reportedly made their way onto the Signal app.
Jeffrey Goldberg and his friends at The Atlantic – the same publication that falsely claimed Trump called fallen American soldiers “losers” and “suckers” – desperately tried to spin standard operational communications into a full-blown scandal.
But President Trump wasn’t having any of it.
Speaking from the White House Monday afternoon, Trump stood firmly behind his national security team and shut down the media’s manufactured controversy with just five powerful words.
“Michael Waltz has learned a lesson,” Trump declared, before adding, “and he’s a good man.”
And the liberal media’s hopes of creating another administration crisis instantly crumbled.
Democrat-aligned media ignores Trump administration’s successful Yemen strikes
While the fake news media obsessed over routine military communications, they conveniently ignored how the Trump administration has been methodically dismantling Houthi terrorist capabilities in the Red Sea.
These precision strikes against Iran-backed terrorists aren’t just random operations – they’re carefully planned missions protecting American interests and maintaining stability in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
President Trump made it crystal clear that the Signal app incident had “no impact at all” on the military operations. The strikes were “perfectly successful” – and that’s what really matters to the American people.
When asked if Waltz or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should face discipline, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) responded with a definitive “Of course not” after meeting with the President in the Oval Office.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt backed up the President’s confidence in his team.
“The President continues to have confidence in his national security team, including Mike Waltz,” Leavitt posted on X. “Stories claiming otherwise are driven by anonymous sources who clearly do not speak to the President.”
As I said yesterday, the President continues to have confidence in his national security team, including Mike Waltz.
Stories claiming otherwise are driven by anonymous sources who clearly do not speak to the President, and written by reporters who are thirsty for a “scoop.” https://t.co/xS8xGXpfJc

Trump’s America First doctrine delivers results
The contrast between Trump’s leadership and previous administrations couldn’t be more stark.
While Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan led to American deaths and global embarrassment – with virtually no accountability from the same media now feigning outrage – Trump’s administration is executing a masterclass in targeted military response.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have worked seamlessly to execute President Trump’s vision of peace through strength.
Remember when the Democrat Party and their media allies tried to paint Trump as a warmonger during his first term?
Yet here we are, watching his administration take decisive – yet restrained – action to protect American interests while maintaining regional stability.
That’s the America First doctrine in action.
The liberal media’s desperate attempts to manufacture controversy are falling flat because the American people can see the results for themselves.
While they’re busy clutching their pearls over standard operational communications, the Trump administration is busy defending American interests abroad and restoring America’s standing on the world stage.
