What’s It Like Not to Have a Conscience? Ask Whoopi Goldberg and People Magazine |
Here is a recent headline from Breitbart: “Whoopi Goldberg: Trump ‘Planning on a Draft’ for Iran.” Well, if Whoopi said it, it must be true, right? Get ready to draw your number, young men and women!
Well, but is Trump “planning on a draft”? If he is, I’ve heard nothing about it, and, as far as I know, nobody else has, either. The Left is interpreting something White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said as meaning that Trump is considering a draft. On Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Leavitt was asked, “What do you want to say about the president’s plan for troops on the ground?” Leavitt’s response was, “[President Trump] wisely does not remove options off the table.” People magazine interpreted that as follows: “White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Donald Trump has not ruled out the idea of reopening a military draft.” I guess, since the President “wisely does not remove options from the table,” that also means he is considering dropping 100 nuclear bombs on Tehran. That’s an “option,” isn’t it? He could do that, couldn’t he? So, yes, I guess if you are a Leftist looking for any straw you can find to condemn the President, then Leavitt’s words could be interpreted as meaning that Trump is considering a draft.
The White House Rapid Response team immediately denied plans for a draft, writing on “X” that Leavitt “didn’t say anything close to this. You just made it up.” And no, she didn’t say anything close to Trump is “planning on a draft,” and yes, anybody who says so “just made it up.” But that’s what........
