Trump's Running The War From His Favorite Insecure Location

You guessed it.
By Susie Madrak — February 28, 2026

Guess where Trump, Whiskey Barrel Pete, and the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs are running their unsanctioned war.

Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago

Yes, because that's how seriously they take it.

Remember, this is all happening just a week or so after SCOTUS chided the Epstein administration about the separation of powers. And just to put it all into context, Whiskey Barrel Pete has purged the ranks of the military leadership, leaving only inexperienced yes-men. (Don't forget Yambo is also talking about a "friendly takeover" in Cuba.)

NEW: Senator Chuck Schumer is calling for Congress to come back to Washington immediately and vote on a war powers resolution regarding Iran.

“The presumption created by the surrounding evidence is that this war could very well be about (1) subverting US democracy, (2) enriching the president, or both. These presumptions, while not proof, provide solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.”

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.
