Summary

Donald Trump faced backlash after admitting he was unaware of four U.S. soldiers missing in Lithuania during a training exercise, despite ongoing search efforts.

Social media users and critics expressed outrage, questioning his leadership and knowledge of his administration’s actions.

Critics also linked Trump’s lack of awareness to the recent “Signalgate” security breach involving a leaked group chat about a U.S. bombing in Yemen.

    Trump doesn’t care. He has more important things on his mind like golf and hamberders.

    so as expected, he is out of the loop and simply a figurehead.

    completely compromised.

      He’s not a figurehead, he’s making decisions when he feels like it. He’s just a child who thinks he can ignore parts of his job.

      Dubya was a figurehead, he was a clueless mouthpiece for the advisors around him. Trump is just a flippant, evil moron.

        He has done literally nothing other than Project 2025, and has accomplished it at an amazing pace so far. He may also be a petulant child, but he is absolutely a figurehead this term.

        Nah, he is also doing the bidding of the Heritage Foundation. Which is basically just the PayPal Mafia rebranded.

        Really, the major value of being POTUS to Krasnov is staying out of jail. He is letting his criminal associates like Musk and the loathsome Miller run the country.

    He was probably given a report, but since it didn’t have enough color pictures he just ignored it. Of course that shitstick thinks he’s forever blameless so it’s obviously anyone else’s fault.

    No one told him because there was no point. They know he doesn’t give a shit. He’s said as much before. It would have been a waste of time and energy to tell him. And he’s the kind of guy that would have fired them for wasting his time.

    Literally a net negative for everyone to bother letting the current President of the United States know what is going on.
