President Donald Trump delivered a sharp rebuke to the far-left Atlantic magazine after its Trump-hating editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, claimed he was accidentally included in a Signal group chat where top administration officials allegedly discussed military strikes against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The so-called report, which reeks of liberal media desperation, was swiftly dismissed by the President during a press engagement following a major economic announcement in Louisiana.
Speaking from the White House’s Roosevelt Room, President Trump made it clear he had no knowledge of the Atlantic’s latest hit piece, brushing it off as irrelevant. “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of the Atlantic. To me, it’s a magazine that’s going out of business. I think it’s not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it,” Trump stated. When pressed further about the alleged Signal chat involving National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance, the President remained unfazed. “You’re telling me about it for the first time,” he said, underscoring how little weight the administration gives to the dying legacy media’s theatrics.
Trump’s dismissive response highlights a key truth: the liberal media, led by outlets like the Atlantic, will stop at nothing to undermine his strong leadership. Rather than focusing on the administration’s tangible successes—like the historic $5.8 billion Hyundai steel mill investment announced earlier that day—these so-called journalists obsess over manufactured controversies. The President rightly pointed out the absurdity of the report, quipping, “Well, it couldn’t have been very effective because the attack was very effective, I can tell you that.”
While the left-wing media scrambles to invent scandals, President Trump continues delivering real results for the American people. The Hyundai deal, which will create over 1,400 jobs and produce 2.7 million metric tons of steel annually, is just the latest example of his America-First policies in action. “This investment is a very clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work,” Trump declared, proving once again that his economic strategy is revitalizing U.S. manufacturing.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer: as the President secures massive wins for American workers, the liberal media clings to baseless rumors in a pathetic attempt to distract from his achievements.
