The Trump administration is outraged by reports that it launched a war on Iran by using poor assumptions and planning. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth tantrumed at the media for reporting the facts about administration decisions and how the war is going.

As the war becomes a bigger problem, Trump can’t help himself, as he has reverted to his instincts of trying to jump in and be his own PR person.

The problem is that the more Trump talks, the more he reveals how out of his mind he appears to be.

Trump did an interview with Fox News radio host Brian Kilmeade, and it revealed much more than the White House probably wanted.

Brian Kilmeade asked Trump, “Are you surprised with these stats that Democrats are so vehemently seemingly against this mission, including some veterans like Senator Mark Kelly?”

Trump attacked another war hero and veteran:

Well, Mark Kelly's a very not a smart person. I mean, he's not a smart man.
He's terrible. What he said is terrible about, you know, leadership. Okay, leadership. Follow him. You follow him into a grave. He's he's terrible. He's a pathetic guy. But they're pathetic.
Look, we have a case where our country right now is is respected more than it has maybe ever been with Venezuela, with this, with the B-2s, with all of the different things we've done and all the great success we've had. And during all of this period, I've rebuilt the military into the strongest military in the world by far.

We have we had great people but the people were being led badly and in fact in many cases being led through woke, and we don't have that anymore. We have an unbelievable power where our military is unquestionably the best and the strongest in the world, and I built it in my first term; this didn't just happen. I built it you know we had trillion dollars a trillion dollars another trillion dollars and I built it and made it great. I built the wall, hundreds of miles of wall.
