Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel tore into Trump’s team over an embarrassing national security blunder during his Wednesday night monologue — mocking the administration for accidentally texting war plans to a journalist and then lying about it. (VIDEO BELOW)
WHY IT MATTERS: Trump’s presidency isn’t just chaotic — it’s dangerous, with incompetence at the highest levels now exposed in real time.
THE DETAILS: Kimmel broke down the jaw-dropping story first reported by The Atlantic, where a Trump official mistakenly added editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat detailing U.S. military strikes — despite using an app the NSA warned against.
- “This operation was about as secretive as a Fortnite Twitch stream,” Kimmel joked, noting that the texts included exact timing, weapons used, and attack locations.
Despite the receipts, Trump’s team now denies they were “war plans,” repeating the line like a bad parody: “Nobody’s texting war plans.”
KIMMEL’S TAKE: He mocked the absurd deflections from Trump’s national security adviser Michael Waltz, who both admitted fault and floated a bizarre conspiracy that Goldberg somehow infiltrated the chat himself.
- Kimmel also slammed the White House’s scapegoating of the journalist and their decision to put Elon Musk on the case, quipping, “Now Elon’s their IT guy?”
Kimmel didn’t stop at the war texts. He dragged MAGA media for ignoring the scandal while freaking out over a boom mic bumping Trump, calling it a “dangerous situation.”
- He shredded Florida Republicans for pushing child labor laws and mocked Marjorie Taylor Greene’s xenophobic meltdown at a British reporter.
WHAT’S NEXT: Expect more desperate spin from Trump World — and more brutal reality checks from comedians unafraid to call out the corruption, chaos, and incompetence still haunting American politics.
