    Trump suffered another Truth Social mishap on Wednesday.

    During a White House roundtable with conservative influencers, Secretary of State Marco Rubio interrupted Trump and handed him a note.

    The note, spotted by AP’s Chief Photographer in Washington, Evan Vucci, reads, “We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.”

    After receiving his instructions from Rubio, Trump told the assembled media, “OK, I was just given a note by the secretary of state saying, ‘we’re very close to a deal in the Middle East’ and they’re gonna need me pretty quickly.”

    Trump also had son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff review the Truth Social post before he made it public, according to a White House official, as reported by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

    We are a clown show, and not a good one.
