💥 BREAKING NEWS: Trump gets burned by his own Pentagon as new spokesperson admits the deadly boat strike was “presidentially directed”⚡NN

Donald Trump didn’t just get hit by his critics this week.
He got burned by his own Pentagon.

In a scandal already being called one of the darkest chapters of his presidency, Trump’s administration is facing explosive fallout over a U.S. military strike on fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela — a strike lawmakers say looks like a clear war crime.

And now, the Pentagon’s own spokesperson has tied the operation directly to Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on live television.

The story begins with a video very few people have seen — but everyone who has watched it says the same thing: it’s sickening.

Members of Congress from both parties, granted access to the classified footage, describe it as one of the most disturbing things they’ve witnessed in public service. Two wounded survivors, floating helplessly in open water after their boat was destroyed, are targeted and killed in a second strike. No weapons. No mobility. No threat.

Just execution.

Under pressure, the Pentagon was forced to brief congressional leaders from the Intelligence and Armed Services Committees. At the same time, a new Pentagon press secretary, Kingsley Wilson, stepped to the podium for her first on-camera briefing.

She could have distanced the White House. She could have left ambiguity.
Instead, she did the exact opposite.

“The Secretary has been very clear,” she said. “These strikes are presidentially directed… At the end of the day, the Secretary and the President are the ones directing.”

With a single answer, she placed Trump and Hegseth at the top of the chain of responsibility — right as lawmakers were calling what they saw in the video a textbook violation of the laws of war.

And the setting made it even worse.

This wasn’t a normal Pentagon briefing. Legacy outlets like The Washington Post, AP, Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal were gone — pushed out after refusing to let the Pentagon “edit” their content. In their place sat right-wing influencers and MAGA propagandists like Laura Loomer and Vincent Dao, gleefully filming themselves at formerly serious press desks and declaring, “This belongs to us now.”

It was regime aesthetics with a U.S. flag backdrop.

While Wilson praised the “new press corps” and mocked “legacy media,” MAGA lawmakers were busy trying to spin the unspinnable.

Senator Markwayne Mullin insisted that if there was a second strike, it wasn’t to kill survivors — it was to prevent them from “running.” In the ocean. While clinging to wreckage.

Others tried out different excuses:
– The second strike was needed to destroy drugs.
– The boat might still have been “mobile.”
– The men in the water were “narco-terrorists” who didn’t deserve sympathy.

Republican Congressman Derrick Van Orden dismissed the outrage as “war crimes garbage,” shrugging that “average Americans do not care about these narco-terrorists” and only care about fentanyl overdoses.

But then came a very different voice.

Congressman Jim Himes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, had seen the video. His description cut through every talking point.

He called it “one of the most troubling things” he’s ever seen in office. Two men in obvious distress, shipwrecked, with no means of locomotion, floating on debris — and then killed by a follow-on strike. He noted that under the laws of armed conflict, there is a specific term for people in that situation: hors de combat — out of the fight.

Killing them, he said, isn’t a gray area.
It’s the exact example the Pentagon’s own manual uses to define an unlawful act.

Himes pointed to the larger culture inside Trump’s Pentagon. A president who glorifies “lethality.” A defense secretary who wrote a book arguing there should be “fewer lawyers, more killing.” Four-star officers like Admiral Alvin Holsey reportedly told: obey orders “whether you think they’re legal or not — or resign.” Holsey chose to resign.

In that environment, Himes argued, even honorable officers like Admiral Mitch Bradley can be pushed toward catastrophic decisions. When the message from the top is “kill them all,” the line between combat and execution starts to blur.

And now, thanks to Kingsley Wilson’s microphone moment, Trump’s own Pentagon has admitted the obvious: these weren’t rogue actions. They weren’t misunderstandings. They were presidentially directed strikes.

A second missile.
Two dying men in the ocean.
A president who calls it strength.
And a Pentagon spokesperson who stamped his name on it.

Himes gave a chilling warning: if the world sees what he saw on that screen, the United States will lose a massive amount of moral standing.

Trump’s staff tried to shield him.
Instead, they lit the match under his biggest legal and moral nightmare yet.
