U.S. President Donald Trump has ousted National Security Advisor Mike Waltz following a leaked Signal group chat scandal, dubbed 'Signalgate,' and nominated him as UN ambassador. Secretary of State Marco Rubio steps in as interim NSA in the first major cabinet shakeup of Trump's chaotic new term. 💥
From Battlefield to Blunder: Waltz’s Fall
The ex-special forces operative turned Florida congressman faced heat after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief was accidentally added to a Signal chat about U.S. strikes in Yemen. Waltz called the move 'an honor,' but insiders say his hawkish views on Russia and Iran clashed with Trump’s push for Moscow-friendly deals and renewed Iran nuclear talks. 🤝🇺🇳
Signal Leaks Ignite Political Firestorm
Democrats are now targeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who shared classified strike timings in a separate Signal group that included his wife. Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer quipped, 'Now do Hegseth,' but Trump dismissed the backlash as a 'witch hunt.' 🔥📱
What’s Next?
Waltz’s UN nomination needs Senate approval, ensuring 'Signalgate' stays trending. Meanwhile, real estate mogul Steve Witkoff is rumored as a long-term NSA contender. Will Trump’s Russia-Iran negotiations thrive? Stay tuned. 🌟
