Where’s the Uranium, Donnie?

Missing Uranium, Leaked Intel, Bombing Empty Tunnels: The Trump Regime Launches and a Full-Blown MAGA Attack on U.S. Intelligence and Journalists

It didn’t take long for the Trump Regime to go from “obliterated Iran’s nuclear program” to “wait, do we even need to destroy the uranium?”

After U.S. intelligence assessments — verified by CNN, The New York Times, NBC, and The Washington Post — revealed that Iran’s weapons-grade uranium stockpile had been moved before Trump’s B-2 bombers dropped a single bunker-buster, a bizarre rhetorical pivot began to unfold. The uranium was missing. The tunnels are mostly intact. The bombing, at best, bought a few months.

So naturally, Team Trump started gaslighting the public into believing the uranium didn’t really matter at all.

Pete Hegseth: “Go Dig It Up Yourself”

Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth led the charge — not by offering answers, but by berating journalists for even asking the obvious question: Where’s the uranium?

In an extraordinary moment, Hegseth lashed out at Jennifer Griffin, a respected Fox News national security correspondent, for daring to mention satellite imagery showing Iranian trucks removing material from Fordow before the strike.

“Jennifer, you’ve been about the worst. The one who misrepresents the most intentionally.” – Pete Hegseth, live at the Pentagon podium.

Rather than answer the question, Hegseth sarcastically told reporters to “go dig it up yourself.” He then launched into a tirade about how “fawning coverage of preliminary intel assessments” by the “fake news media” was undermining the president.

In MAGAland, asking for proof is now betrayal.

Donald Trump: Fire the Messenger, Praise the Bombs

Trump himself wasted no time turning his attention away from the missing uranium and toward a new target: CNN’s Natasha Bertrand, the journalist who first broke the story that U.S. intel said the strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear program.

On Truth Social, Trump demanded Bertrand be fired, saying:

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! She lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad… when in fact they did a GREAT job… TOTAL OBLITERATION!”

Trump also mocked CNN anchor Anderson Cooper as “Allison,” invoked Bertrand’s past reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop, and accused her of trying to sabotage the mission by citing the Pentagon’s own damage assessment.

The irony? Not one fact in Bertrand’s reporting was debunked. The Pentagon’s own report aligned with her story. But that didn’t matter. Truth became treason. Evidence is optional to the Trump Regime.

But we like evidence here, and Natasha Bertrand brought receipts

J.D. Vance: “Where the Uranium Is Located Is No Longer Important”

Next up? Vice President J.D. Vance, who went from tweeting like a foreign policy hawk to minimizing the entire point of the bombing campaign.

In a Fox News interview two days after the intel leak:

“Where the uranium is located is no longer an important question. Our goal is to prevent its use, not necessarily account for every piece.”

Translation: We don’t know where it is, and now we’ve decided that’s fine.

This remarkable admission came on the heels of Vance initially echoing Trump’s “obliterated” language. But once the facts started catching up, Vance — ever the MAGA loyalist — rewrote the mission in real time: The goal wasn’t to destroy uranium. The goal was vibes.

Marco Rubio: “Our Enemies Are Watching the Media Undermine Us”

And then there’s Senator Marco Rubio, who scurried out of the Senate Intelligence Committee chamber to do what he does best — deflect and blame journalists.

When asked if he believed the uranium was destroyed, Rubio sidestepped the question entirely and accused the press of aiding America’s enemies:

“It’s troubling to see how quickly the media runs with leaks that damage our country’s credibility. Our enemies are watching this spectacle.”

So to recap: If you ask what happened to hundreds of kilos of weapons-grade uranium after a multi-million-dollar bombing campaign, you’re helping Iran. Also, the vast majority of media outlets, your own US intelligence community, are lying, and the Trump Regime is telling the truth, but you have no evidence, no uranium, so we’ll have to take your word for it? Got it.

Rubio also suggested in a radio interview that the leak itself was “an act of sabotage against a successful president” and hinted that Trump should consider prosecuting those who leaked the Pentagon assessment.

The New MAGA Doctrine: Declare Victory, Threaten the Truth

This is the new Trump Doctrine in practice:

• Launch a reckless bombing campaign based on shaky or incomplete intel.

• Lie about the outcome.

• When the intelligence community contradicts you, discredit them.

• When journalists verify the intel, attack them personally.

• When the facts are undeniable, declare they don’t matter.

What started as “obliterating Iran’s nuclear capabilities” has turned into “maybe we didn’t need to hit the uranium anyway” — all while threatening reporters, mocking women in journalism, and undermining U.S. intelligence.

The most dangerous part? This isn't just spin. It's policy now.

Hegseth, Vance, Rubio, and Trump have collectively decided that facts are a threat—unless they're manufactured in Trump’s head or Netanyahu’s war room.

This section of the story isn’t just about missing uranium. It’s about what happens when a regime declares war on reality - a Hallmark of the Trump Regime.
