Team Trump will pay a price for whistling past the Signal group-chat fiasco

It looks like Team Trump has decided to try to whistle right past the “Operation Overshare” fiasco, and may well pull it off — but not cost-free.

President Donald Trump is standing up for National Security Adviser Mike Waltz after he (or maybe his staff) mistakenly added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat on Signal into which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth later dropped sensitive details of the anti-Houthi bombing campaign.

The stunning security breach had “no impact at all,” the prez announced Tuesday morning, and “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson.”

Uh . . . what lesson is that?

Yes, we get that stepping up to own failures is hard. But it just got that much harder for Americans to trust the administration on national-security issues going forward.

At the very least, we pray the prez is privately knocking hard on every head involved in this mess — and warning that heads will roll if there’s anything like a next time.

The American people need to know Trump is still fighting for them, not lying to them.
