President Donald Trump denied any knowledge of a 2019 Navy SEAL raid that resulted in the deaths of unarmed North Korean fishermen in the Oval Office on Friday, saying, "I know nothing about it."

    To be fair, he’s a narcissist and a pedophile.

      He’s also unusually stupid and lazy.

    Either Trump approved a disastrous mission or the Secretary of Defense doesn’t bother to inform him when taking action against a highly belligerent nuclear power.

    One of the many examples of only 2 possible explanations. He’s either lying, or he’s incompetent

      I mean, it would be a bigger scandal if someone sent out Seal Team 6 without telling the President you’d think. If he wasn’t lying he should be outraged.

        Which autopen signed off on this authorization? Y’know, since every accusation is a confession.

    For the bestest president ever in the history of the US he sure seems to know fuck all about things happening under his administration.

    He knows nothing about that, but was able to use his special vision - probably the same special vision that Bobby Brainworm has to be able to spot people with engrams who need to get clear, er, people with mitochondrial challenges - to tell that 11 people on a boat are drug traffickers?

      2019 Navy SEAL raid [into North Korea].

      Not the same boat attack. Not that his answer would probably be any different.

        Yes, I realize. He spent quite a bit bragging up the recent boat attack, because he views it as a “success”.

        Because the 2019 raid is viewed as a failure, he never heard of it. His “I don’t know her” thing.

    And it’ll work. Rubio will take the fall for this (if anyone does)

      No, word is that this op was so sensitive that it required the PRESIDENT to sign off on it. This is ALL on him.

        What a paradox for trump. Either admit he signed off on this mission that targeted a leader he’s “friendly” with and that ended in abject failure, or admit that people in his administration are approving things without his knowledge, probably with an autopen.

        Maybe they will just lean into it and cite the SCOTUS ruling saying its not illegal if he does it.

        “I don’t eat breakfast. I don’t need it. Don’t believe in it. I take 37 pills every morning at 8, with the still-beating heart of an endangered animal at 8 am because you have to eat something with some of these dru… Medications.”

    If the mission were a success (he doesn’t know what that means) he wouldn’t STFU about it and he would’ve spilled the beans to Kim
