Thank you, Judge!!! Someone has to help us. They’ll downplay and pushback. Let’s hope this judge doesn’t cave too!

[tomtompkins]

I don't know, it might be a defective app according to Trump. What a moron.

[faiththrower]

Bet that repoter sues all of them up to and including Trump for slander.

[gatsbylight]

HAHAHA!....It's not as though the administration is gonna be able to argue that this judge doesn't have jurisdiction over this info on the grounds that it's "classified".... because the administration has publicly claimed *_"it's not classified"._*

[harrismonica]

Well if they don’t, the reporter has them 😂😂😂😂

[ryanjohnson]

And how many times were they using signal for internal communications where they DIDN'T accidently invite a reporter?

I'm so glad this incompetent blunder will not be swept under the rug. This time..!!

Trump needs to be in prison the rest of his life

[MusicByJC]

That is funny. The judge thinks the conversation was recorded. But luckily the Atlantic provided a copy, so I am sure the administration is busy trying to recreate.

[lizgross]

Everything he touches goes to hell people crumble this is his new batch

[ecbst]

He won't, now he'll say it's classified.

Aiding and abetting the enemy. Treason ✊🗽⚖️📜🇺🇸

[mr.peevyshow]

Clown and circus sick of this incompetent administration.

[dkphotography]

Trump is thinking you can buy everything

[star_man]

Isnt that a coincidence? Same judge as illegal deportations.

[cremate]

Did Trump remember when the airhead Cannon was assigned to both of his cases😮

[sharonmchee]

There goes flat top again. He’s not making America First to succeed, maybe first to fail?

[thelmawoodson]

we need a judge that's not afraid to stand up against the wrong that Trump and his team is doing .

[jackoalltrades]

having that judge overseeing the case has got to be "insult to injury" for the King of America

[Dude-iwqw]

Personal phones are not secure and all of our enemies are watching these sloppy morons in the world news.
