This needs to be a narrative about Mike Waltz getting fired from his job as nationwide safety adviser within the aftermath of #Signalgate and the entire “You place a journalist within the warfare group chat?” saga.
Based mostly on data from 5 nameless sources “aware of the state of affairs,” Politico reported early Thursday that Waltz “has misplaced the arrogance of different administration officers,” and Donald Trump was planning on ousting him.
White Home Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was requested about the opportunity of Mike Waltz being fired from his job as Nationwide Safety Adviser, she mentioned, “We aren’t going to reply to reporting from nameless sources.”
Her response is hilarious contemplating what has transpired since.
As a result of issues occur quick within the Trump administration, earlier than NewsOne may even publish the information that Waltz was going to be out of a job, information dropped that he had a model new job — or a minimum of the prospect of 1.
USA Right now experiences that Donald Trump wrote the next in a Reality Social put up as we speak:
“I’m happy to announce that I shall be nominating Mike Waltz to be the subsequent United States Ambassador to the United Nations,” Trump wrote. “From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my Nationwide Safety Advisor, Mike Waltz has labored onerous to place our Nation’s Pursuits first. I do know he’ll do the identical in his new position. Within the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will function Nationwide Safety Advisor, whereas persevering with his sturdy management on the State Division.”
Wow. Let’s see if I can keep in mind the order of operations right here.
Mike Waltz is the one that added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to the unauthorized warfare group chat that was occurring on Sign, and it was in mentioned group chat that Goldberg was made conscious of US plans for airstrikes on Yemen.
Lots of people tied to the group chat, together with Mike Waltz himself, overtly lied and denied that something of the kind had occurred, and even when Goldberg printed the textual content messages, thus proving all of them to be liars, Trump nonetheless stood by them as a result of whiteness goes to win above all else.
It’s that very same whiteness that’s offering a forcefield of safety in opposition to accountability for Mike Waltz, and as an alternative of ending up within the unemployment line as he needs to be (together with Pete Hegseth, for those who ask me), he’s being nominated for one more high-profile place.
To place this in phrases even the slowest Trump supporter may perceive, that is like if Waltz received caught stealing from the register at his job at Walmart, and as an alternative of firing him, they gave him the code to the secure the place they preserve all the shop’s cash.
It’s a factor that makes complete sense to Donald Trump and his merry band of white supremacists, however makes completely no sense to the remainder of us with functioning mind cells and important pondering abilities.
That is referred to as failing up, and it’s a factor that occurs for white males so much.
Whereas Donald Trump and people in his administration need you to assume that Black individuals have one way or the other been given some overreaching benefit on this nation, the actual benefit is whiteness — a particular sort of whiteness that pledges allegiance to itself above all else.
If Mike Waltz have been a Black man, we wouldn’t even be having this dialogue.
If one thing like this had occurred through the Obama administration, we by no means would have heard the tip of it.
However as a result of the bar for Black individuals is someplace within the unreachable stratosphere and the bar for mediocre white males is buried someplace beneath the floorboards, right here we’re.
Thanks, AmeriKKKa.
