President Donald Trump praised the national security adviser Michael Waltz as a 'good man' who will continue to do a 'good job' on Tuesday during an event in the White House.
Behind the scenes, Trump was not that chivalent.
Politico reported on Wednesday morning that Trump was upset when he found out that Waltz accidentally admitted the editor-in-chief Jeffery Goldberg of the Atlantic Ocean in a signal group treasure in which Trump functionaries had planned an attack on the Houthis.
“The president was angry that Waltz could be so stupid,” a source told the news site.
Trump was furious and his darkest suspicion about Waltz popped up again. Why did he have Goldberg's number?
It was indeed Goldberg who had reported in September 2020 that Trump had called Fallen American Soldiers 'Suckers' and 'Losers'.
Another polico -source said that President found the entire episode 'embarrassing'.
Two months and six days in the Trump 2.0 administration and this is the first major scandal with leaks – something that teased the first administration of the president almost weekly.

A source also said that Waltz's relationship is tense with the president's inner circle.
Those in the Maga movement viewed Waltz already skeptical for working earlier for the prominent Neocon, former vice -president Dick Cheney.
In the hours after the first release of the Atlantic Ocean of Messages on Monday, Waltz seemed to be the most likely to take the fall.
Now Democrats are calling for the head of the Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth about some of the information that is revealed in the Wednesday release of the Atlantic Ocean.
Trump was responsible for Waltz on Tuesday in a white house The meeting with ambassadors and said that non-perfect technology was the fault.
“He is a very good man. That man is a very good man there who criticizes you so much, “said Trump. “He is a very good man and he will continue to do well.”
The president also said in an interview with NBC that it was one of Waltz's assistants who unintentionally added the editor -in -chief of the Atlantic Ocean to the chat of the war group.
During the ambassadors' meeting, Trump said that Waltz did not have to apologize.
“No, I don't think he should apologize. I think he's doing his best. It is equipment and technology that is not perfect, and he will probably not use it anymore, at least not in the near future, “Trump said.
When it was Waltz's turn to speak, he denied Goldberg knowing.
“There are many journalists in this city who have made big names for themselves, lies about this president, whether it is the Russia -Hoax or inventing lies about Gold Star families,” Waltz told the Chamber.
“And this in particular, I have never met, I don't know, never communicate,” he claimed. “And we are, and we investigate him and discuss how he came to this room.”
Goldberg had written in the play that he had met Waltz, a former congress member in Florida, in the past.
“I met him in the past, and although I thought it was not particularly strange that he might reach me, I thought it was somewhat unusual, given the controversial relationship of the Trump administration with journalists – and Trump's periodic fixation on me specifically,” wrote Goldberg in the Atlantic Ocean.
It remains unclear how Waltz or an assistant who acted on Waltz's orders would have had the telephone number of Goldberg if they were unknown.
'So, look, this journalist, Mr. President, wants the world to talk about more hoaxes and this kind of nonsense instead of the freedom that you engage and an important part of our sovereignty is open sea -saving and the beating of the mess of terrorists, what exactly is what your team, and Pete Hegset, has a good friend, the lead. Waltz.
