WASHINGTON — Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”

Overall, the official said, the information Trump gets about the war tends to emphasize U.S. successes, with comparatively little detail about Iranian actions.
One example came this month when five U.S. Air Force refueling planes were hit in an Iranian strike at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to one of the current U.S. officials. Trump wasn’t briefed about the strikes, and he learned what had happened from media reports, the official said. When Trump inquired, he was told the planes weren’t badly damaged, the official said.
The official said Trump reacted angrily behind the scenes to the news coverage. Publicly he posted on Truth Social calling coverage of the strike misleading and accusing media organizations of wanting the U.S. “to lose the War.”
I’m guessing this actually had less to do with his staffers trying to avoid showing him their shortcomings, and more likely that he actually told them to brief him on the war like this. He is a chronically callous and uncurious person. He wants to watch the snuff reels. He doesn’t care who is suffering.
I can imagine military advisors told him about things like supply lines and logistics, but then he was clearly zoning out or even saying “boring!”
He’s 12.
you can tell because his skin is so youthful and moist
lol i was just about to post that still.
my man looks oiled and air fried.
Isn’t he proud of being mentally a 3rd or 4th grader?
So THAT’s why he keeps declaring victory
The video begins, Danger Zone starts playing, and Trump excitedly says “We won again!”
What music do they put to the videos though?
Media reports indicate every video is set to Mr. Mistoffolese from the musical Cats (trump’s favorite musical, which he regularly listens to).

Bodies by Drowning Pool
the parody where they can only count to four
YMCA
the hulk hogan song
They must have used this at least once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZIhqWF58og
I cannot put into words how much I hate that song.
“The highway to the danger zone. Takes you right into the danger zone. Danger zone.”
Just where the hell else is the highway TO the danger zone going to take you, besides the god damn danger zone?
Depends which direction you’re traveling I guess

The 1812 Overture would be a good choice. Plus it would last them all week!

collapse already godamnit
Lol they let him get unliftered news. Idiots.
Counterpoint: He’s just there to do propaganda and manipulate markets. The military doesn’t really want him to know anything, because he can’t help but reveal anything he’s told
I fully believe that whole “Our cases would be lower if we stopped testing” comment from 2020 was after someone told him that was the plan, with the intention that it be hush-hush, but then he said it out loud, publicly.
agree because there is no way he could have come up with that by himself
It would be hard to stop him from watching TV. That’s like his favorite thing, I think even more than golf.
If I was one of trump’s advisors/handlers I would hire a small team of nazis to AI generate news per my requirements. And hire 1-2 to make sure his phone/vpn/wifi would redirect queries as needed to my version of the internet. Same as normal internet but with certain things replaced.
Don’t these people even know how to do 21st century palace intrigue.
feeling so represented by the cinephile president
No way they’re actually treating this as a game of Civ and in the room you have the boss man who’s looking at the screen doing thumbs up or down while his henchmen are running around like in that spongebob episode in the brain they’re running around the cabinet panicking, you know what I’m talkin about right?
Meanwhile, if I was elected and tried to Fix a pot hole I’d get stabbed in the back.
I’m imagining when buildings collapse

Gotta be easy to fill it with footage as he had no idea what stuff is American
They could even show footage that’s not from the same war!
Or movie footage or hell, just show him WW2 recordings

Why aren’t the gorillas fighting?
