Trump Melts Down at ‘Dirty Dogs’ Leaking All His Secrets
Evan Vucci/Reuters Donald Trump has issued a chilling threat against those who leaked damning information about his Iran war to the press.
In a late Truth Social post , the 80-year-old said he would hunt down the “dirty dogs!” who have been repeatedly leaking damaging intel about his decision to start a war.
The president’s outburst is the latest sign of pressure inside the White House, where leaks have spiraled out of control, and Trump has lost control of the narrative being pushed from inside the building.
Trump shared a fawning opinion piece by conservative Washington Post columnist Marc A.
Thiessen, which argued that the “disloyal leaks about Iran” prove how “courageous” Trump was to go to war with Iran.
Thiessen, a Fox News contributor who was a speechwriter for President George W.
Bush, claimed that Trump had made “the bravest foreign policy decision any president has done in my lifetime,” by ignoring the advice of the entire military, political, and intelligence establishments to start a deeply unpopular conflict.
“Very interesting.
A must read! Keep on leaking you dirty dogs! When we find you, you will pay a big price!!!” Trump wrote.
The war in Iran has dragged on for nearly seven months, with no end in sight.
Opinion polls show the country is heavily against the war.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the conflict has also caused gas and diesel prices in the U.S. to skyrocket.
Trump has told millions of affected Americans that their financial hardships are worth it in order to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, even as the economic issue looks set to doom the GOP in November’s midterms.
Throughout the conflict, insiders have come forward with details from the Pentagon and the White House to show how the war could, and should, have been avoided.
