White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has spent the last week attempting to explain to reporters that Donald Trump is being totally rational.

Of course, that's been her job for the nearly a year now.


But the mental gymnastics required to assert the President's supposedly logical thinking has become more complicated as he's continued to refuse to acknowledge his clear defeat in the Presidential Election at the hands of Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

And recently, CNN's Anderson Cooper tore into McEnany after she took a rather creative approach to defending the president. At one point, Cooper quipped that McEnany's bizarre logic was taking Americans to another galaxy.

Giphy

In an appearance on Fox News' Fox & Friends, McEnany was asked if Trump had considered sharing daily briefings of classified information with President-Elect Biden.

Those briefings are a pivotal element of national security and they would allow Biden to wrap his head around key threats to the U.S. before he takes office on January 20.

McEnany's response was evasive, to say the least.

"I haven't spoken to the President about that."
"That would be a question more for the White House, but I will say that all laws are being followed with regard to an expected transition, though we expect to continue on as the Trump administration. We will see how our litigation goes."

Anderson Cooper was not at all impressed by McEnany's response.

He made that very clear when he introduced that Fox & Friends clip on his own show with the following description:

"White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, bless her heart, as they say in Mississippi, taking us completely through the looking glass and then beyond to a galaxy far, far away."

Cooper was bewildered by her defense:

"'That would be a question for the White House'...says the White House spokesperson?"

Folks on Twitter echoed Cooper's stunned response.





As Trump continues to dig his heels in and refuse to concede, stay tuned for all kinds of logical leaps.

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

Blue States Are Taking A Page Out Of Trump's Playbook With Alerts About SNAP Benefits

President Donald Trump and his administration are facing criticism as blue states post alerts about the loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
