Trump's Private Message to Pam Bondi Goes Public on Truth Social

A moment that either highlights President Donald Trump's impressive technological skills or reveals the complete ineptitude of his staff occurred when a private message intended for Attorney General Pam Bondi was mistakenly posted to the President’s Truth Social account on September 20, 2025.

Trump believed he had sent the message directly to Bondi, addressing it simply as ‘Pam.’ He was taken aback when he discovered the message had been made public. The content of the message, in which Trump urges Bondi to pursue legal action against his political adversaries, has resurfaced in the news after several media outlets, including NBC and the Wall Street Journal, confirmed that the message was meant to be private. It is reported that Trump was “surprised” when he learned the post had gone public hours later.

An undemocratic directive

Trump’s post not only highlights his lack of technical proficiency but also reflects the strategies he has employed since taking office. The message was lengthy and referenced various talking points that have become central to GOP politics since 2016.

The message reads:

"It’s the same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done."

Trump names three individuals he views as political opponents, demanding that “something must be done” about them. Midway through the message, he references Erik Siebert (though not by name), claiming he had a “GREAT CASE” to fire him.

He concludes the message by mentioning Lindsey Halligan, his latest nominee for U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan has no experience in legal prosecution and previously served as one of Trump’s personal attorneys in 2022. She was appointed as a special assistant to the president and White House senior associate staff secretary in January 2025 and held that role until her appointment in Virginia.

Keystone cops in the White House

The message confirmed what many have long feared: that Donald Trump’s cabinet is defined by incompetence, driven by juvenile and vindictive ideologies promoted by the President. For those familiar with political fiction like Veep, The West Wing, and House of Cards, this report presents a distorted reflection of American politics. In these fictional portrayals, politicians are often scrambling to manipulate their constituents. However, in reality, the Trump administration appears to believe it can do no wrong, shrugging off blunders that would be embarrassing for a high-school student, let alone the leader of the “free world.” The only difference between this and your favorite piece of fiction? This incompetence has real-world consequences.

In the past, the President was concerned about his image. That was when America was led by someone who understood how mirrors work. Now, the Trump administration seems to believe it can act without consequence, shamelessly lying to the press, lying on social media, and lying in its own reports. Additionally, the administration is actively working to silence institutional media through discreditation, perpetuating a flood of disinformation that American voters are forced to navigate.

The result is an ecosystem where voters are left gasping for both air and information, misled by a government that prioritizes its own interests over transparency and accountability.
