The Whining Donald White House blaming this "glitch-ridden sequence of
events" on the Pentagon is only another instance of the circus into which
the US presidency has clearly morphed under the auspices of The Whining
Donald. After all, who controls/manages the Pentagon but the White House?
Who is commander in chief if not The Whining Donald? You just have to love
all this finger pointing in lieu of taking/accepting responsibility much
characteristic of The Whining Donald presidency.
What a circus The Whining Donald White House is! Who needs The Ringling
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus when we have The Whining Donald and
his Whining Donald minions around for entertainment?
Ha ha ha !!

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday denied that the Trump
administration misled the public when it was incorrectly announced last week
that a U.S. aircraft carrier was heading toward the Sea of Japan.
"The president said that we have an armada going toward the [Korean
Peninsula]. That is fact, it happened. It is happening, rather," Spicer said
during a press briefing.
The Navy announced on April 9 that its Carl Vinson Strike Group would skip a
regularly scheduled visit to Australia and head toward the western Pacific
Ocean, a move the White House later said was meant as a deterrent to North
Korea's recent provocations.
Asked about the decision to send those ships to North Korea during a White
House press briefing last week, Spicer framed the move as a deterrent.
"A carrier group is several things. The forward deployment is deterrence,
presence. It's prudent. But it does a lot of things. It ensures our - we
have the strategic capabilities, and it gives the president options in the
region," he said at the time.
But those statements were contradicted by a Navy picture taken April 15
showing the strike force in the Sunda Strait, an area off the coast of
Indonesia and thousands of miles from North Korea, The New York Times
reported Tuesday.
Administration officials described to the Times what the paper referred to
as a "glitch-ridden sequence of events ... [that] perpetuated the false
narrative that an American armada was racing toward the waters off North
Korea."
Spicer denied the White House had misled the public with his statements made
last week and blamed the Pentagon for any confusion.
