This CNN Breaking News Headline Perfectly Sums Up This Moment in Donald Trump's Presidency, and It's Way Too Accurate

Says it all.

After a chaotic day marred by a tumbling stock market and the resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, CNN aired a chyron that perfectly sums up where we are as a country.

Rogue NASA tweeted: "This breaking news headline just screams WINNING!"


The headline: "DEFENSE SECRETARY QUITS IN PROTEST OVER TRUMP MIDDLE EAST POLICY AS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN LOOMS AND FINANCIAL MARKETS TANK"

"Are we great yet?"

It. Is. Only. Thursday.

Mattis quit Thursday afternoon, barely 24 hours after Trump announced the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, tipping the balance of power in the civil war-ridden nation in favor of Russia and Iran. Trump is also expected to call for a drawdown of troops in Afghanistan.

The Dow Jones plunged more than 600 points, dragging the market down more than 13 percent from its high in September.

Trump reneged on his pledge to fund the government through February 8 because the spending bill - a rare bipartisan effort - did not include money for a border wall. The federal government will likely shut down Friday night.

All this winning is exhausting.

Nothing to see here.

Trump is scheduled to leave tomorrow for a 16-day vacation at Mar-a-Lago.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday night that Trump will remain in Washington if the government shuts down. How noble.

Brace yourselves; winter is coming.

Hegseth Gets Hit With Awkward Fact-Check After Bragging About Ending 'Woke' Program

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was swiftly fact-checked after he claimed in a post on X that he'd ended the "woke" Women, Peace & Security (WPS) program because it was an initiative created by the Biden administration.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
