Leavitt flips sh*t as shock leak exposes Trump! - Luke Beasley



Luke discusses Karoline Leavitt's recent post about reporting she didn't like.

The following summary is AI-generated.

- Trump reportedly dismissed concerns about Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz, claiming it wouldn’t happen — a prediction that proved catastrophically wrong, triggering historic oil market disruption.

- Key officials were reportedly not on board with Trump’s war plans, and he overruled them, with one insider quoting him as saying, “I just want to do it,” revealing a lack of clear strategic rationale.

- Karoline Leavitt and other Trump officials denied reports that the administration was unprepared, calling them “fake news,” despite multiple sources confirming lack of contingency planning.

- Allies refused to support the war, partly because it was an offensive action (not covered by NATO), and partly due to Trump’s prior alienation of allies through trade wars and inflammatory rhetoric.

- Newt Gingrich proposed a satirical “nuclear canal” solution — literally detonating thermonuclear bombs to create a new waterway — and endorsed it seriously, citing a satirical article that mocked the idea.

- The administration’s broader incompetence — including dismantling government programs, mismanaging the deficit, and appointing inexperienced personnel — is presented as a pattern that extends to its handling of the war.
