Trump claims U.S. struck another alleged drug boat in international waters, killing 3 - MSNBC Reports



The legal waters are being muddied as Trump posted a video on social media claiming the U.S. struck another alleged drug boat in international waters, killing at least three people.

MSNBC political analyst Brendan Buck, and former Communications Director for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Michael Hardaway, and University of Michigan Assistant Law Professor Leah Litman join Alex Witt to discuss the legality of these strikes by the Trump administration and complications for the FCC surrounding the suspension of late night host Jimmy Kimmel. - Aired on 09/21/2025.

They offer zero proof of any drugs or anything else.
They rely on the utter stupidity of the public to buy this shit.
There was a time when something like this would be followed up with sober generals showing charts, graphs, pictures and so on. Now we have that meathead asshole Hegseth babbling about Jesus or some such bullshit instead.
