CNN unleashes embarrassing supercut of Trump officials making Trump look wrong

CNN Anchor Kaitlan Collins did not have to look hard to find examples of President Donald Trump’s muddled messages on Iran getting further muddled by his own staff.

Collins began her segment speaking on the growing U.S. body count coming back from the Middle East as a result of Trump’s self-created war with Iran, as well as the president’s new consideration of putting ground troops in harm’s way by sending forces onto Iranian soil.

But even as Trump — who has himself managed to avoid a military draft due to purported illness — prepares to endanger other soldiers, the president and his staff are claiming to have the best intelligence and facts leading forces forward.

However, Collins pointed out that “here in Washington, there have still been many questions back home for the leaders who do not seem totally aligned about the mission and the results of that mission so far.”

She then ticked down a list of video examples of Trump officials conflicting either with Trump or other other high-position officials.

“The [Iran] regime sure did change [as a result of U.S. strikes], and the world is better off for it,” said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegeth — only to be undermined by claims from Intelligence head Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday that “the IC [Intelligence Community] assesses of the regime in Iran [shows it] appears to be intact.”

“They're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America,” Trump claimed on February 24, only to have Gabbard contradict him with a Wednesday claim that “the IC assesses that Iran has previously demonstrated, space launch and other technology it could use to begin to develop a militarily viable ICBM before 2035, Should Tehran attempt to pursue that capability.”

“They weren't supposed to go after all these other countries in the middle east,” a flabbergasted Trump claimed on Monday, after Iran retaliated from his airstrikes. “Nobody expected that. We were shocked.”

But that claim was also countered on Wednesday by John Ratcliffe, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who admitted to Congress that “Iran had specific plans to hit U.S. interests in energy sites across the region.”

“The threat posed by Iran was deemed as imminent, which led the president to order the attacks, though he did not make the case to congress in advance,” said Collins. “… They also made this decision without rallying U.S. Allies, which has now become a point of contention when it comes to protecting that vital shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. It's a decision that the world is paying for right now as energy prices are climbing across the globe, and as the president is still imploring those U.S allies to get involved to help the united States reopen the strait of Hormuz.”
