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.

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

    completely compromised.

      He famously ignores daily briefings. He was told, more than once, he just doesn’t remember or care.

      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.

          He’s not doing anything but blindly using his sharpie on whatever his handlers put in front of him.

            The tariffs stink of Trump and only Trump, though. Well, maybe Putin as well, but he wouldn’t need much convincing to do it since he stupidly thinks they somehow benefit him. They certainly don’t benefit his billionaire buddies.,

        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.
