This is normal, everything is fine, they know exactly what they’re doing.

President Donald Trump’s decision to send more defensive weapons to Ukraine came after he privately expressed frustration with Pentagon officials for announcing a pause in some deliveries last week — a move that he felt wasn’t properly coordinated with the White House, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The Pentagon, which announced last week that it would hold back some air defense missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons pledged to Ukraine because of what U.S. officials said were concerns that American stockpiles were in short supply. Trump said Monday that the U.S. will have to send more weapons to Ukraine, effectively reversing the move.

Do they talk to each other? Do all parties make sure all other parties know what is being done? Or is it all just free-form, everyone acting on divine inspiration and nobody communicating?

Trump makes sure to tell everyone he never knew anything about any of it, which is a good look for a top boss.

But in a series of public comments that seemed to only cause further confusion about who exactly is in charge of the administration’s foreign policy, Trump pleaded ignorance about the halted delivery, telling Volodymyr Zelenskyy last Friday that he, as commander-in-chief, was not responsible. Asked by a reporter during a televised Cabinet meeting on Tuesday who had ordered the pause, Trump shot back, “I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?”

Uhhh because I’m the reporter and you’re the top boss, it’s not my job to know, it’s your job to know. It’s your job to know.

The White House declined to confirm that Hegseth made the call to stop the shipment to Ukraine, perhaps aware that having a rogue Defense secretary is just as alarming as having a president who’s oblivious to major foreign-policy decisions.

It’s all just as alarming as everything else.
