Miranda Devine: Mike Waltz's Signal-gate blunder is a hard lesson to be learned for Trump's winning team
Miranda Devine
There’s no getting around the fact that Signal-gate was a blunder.
In soccer terms, it was an own goal, a totally unnecessary screw-up that set back the Trump team.
But the team is still winning and the opposition is still in total disarray and fighting among themselves.
Let’s hope lessons have been learned.
It’s hard to believe that, of all the people on planet Earth, it was Jeffrey Goldberg, America’s most rabidly anti-Trump journalist, who could have been “inadvertently” patched into a sensitive Signal group chat of the national security Cabinet discussing sensitive plans for military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
But that’s what President Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is telling us.
He claimed Tuesday he has “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” the Atlantic editor-in-chief.
Of course, swampy Washington quickly unearthed a photo of Waltz standing right in front of Goldberg in the French Embassy in 2021 at an event for French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy that was billed as a “conversation” between Goldberg and Lévy.
