JAMM: Trump Hides Out From Press As War Bombshells Go Off In His Face Edition
Where's Trump?
Welcome to the Jim Acosta Morning Memo on a Friday morning that weighs heavy on the heart, as the floodgates open on service members who are suffering under Trump’s war.
Sailors In Crisis: As we covered on Thursday, the extended deployment for Trump’s Iran conflict has driven “multiple” service members to try and jump overboard amid deplorable conditions.
This report doesn’t come from a media source that Trump and his goons like to attack as liberal fake news, it came from The Navy Times, and it has quickly become the dominant story.
Trump Hides, Hegseth Lies: While Trump hid out Thursday — the only 2 pool reports were to call a lunch lid and a lid for the day — Pete Hegseth tried to do damage control. But he had to soft-pedal his attack because the source isn’t one of Trumpworld’s bogeymen.
Completely misrepresented.
Listen, we make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment.
Floodgates Open: Hegseth’s lies wither under a barrage of gut-wrenching texts that families are sending to journalists, including these messages that were sent to Jim Acosta from the mother of a sailor on the USS Tripoli.
He lost OVER 30 lbs in JUST 4 months. He is afraid to reveal the exact number he lost, he doesn’t want to worry us.
But I will confirm with you. They were 100% silenced. They werent allowed to speak negatively about these ships or the leadership command. That included low food & hygiene supplies
My son did have to talk someone on his ship, and talk them out of suicide.
More Navy Chaos: Sen. Mark Kelly rips into Trump for his insane plan to gut aircraft carriers and replace their catapults for literally no reason.
Trump knows nothing about this stuff… He's a marginally failed real estate developer with multiple bankruptcies. He shouldn't be weighing in on systems on aircraft carriers.
This is also the guy who thinks TVs turn off when the windmills stop.
More Betrayal Of Our Heroes: The Tennessee Holler flagged the case of Staff Sergeant Alexis Jaramillo, a soldier whose wife has been imprisoned by Trump’s ICE goons.
“I don’t feel good. I feel betrayed because of the way this has been treated,” Jaramillo shared.
According to Jaramillo, his wife, Maisa Lopes Eliaser, has been detained for more than a month following what they believed was a routine immigration interview.
More ICE Thuggery: Joe Walsh flagged these goons drawing down on families in New Mexico.
