This makes absolutely no sense.

On Friday, President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that his first choice for Director of National Intelligence, Republican Representative John Ratcliffe of Texas, decided to remain in Congress.


Ratcliffe had been dubbed the least qualified for National Intelligence in history. Among Ratcliffe's easily found faults were lies on his resume and in his various claims.

Because of the ease with which the press found Ratcliffe's lies, many questioned the White House vetting process of their nominees.

White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor asked President Trump about it while he spoke to reporters on his way to his Bedminster golf resort for the weekend.

Watch the exchange here, moments after Trump blamed the press for finding Ratcliffe's lies.

The President stated he had a sheet of paper in his pocket with his shortlist of new nominees. He declined to produce the piece of paper.

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.
