In a leaked Signal conversation, cabinet members discussed the idea of purchasing discounted Tempur-Pedic mattresses as gifts for troops, with some members expressing skepticism and others using the opportunity to criticize current leadership and propose sarcastic diplomatic gestures.
May 30 Waltz (09:00 am ET): Morning all. Just saw this Tempur-Pedic Memorial Day sale. They’re slashing prices by $600. This would make a great gift for the troops, wouldn’t it?
Hegseth (09:05 am ET): 💪 Ah, good ol’ American capitalism at its finest. If only our European counterparts could savour the thrill of a good deal.
Vance (09:10 am ET): Interesting proposition, Waltz. But are we seriously considering gifting mattresses to troops? I mean, don’t they already have bedding in the barracks?
Miller (09:18 am ET): Vance, your highbrow sarcasm is counterproductive. The troops have suffered enough under Biden’s impotent leadership.
Gabbard (09:24 am ET): 🇺🇸💪 How about we get a couple for Putin’s new luxury yacht instead? That would make good diplomacy, right? 😏
Rubio (09:31 am ET): Oh, the thinly veiled sarcasm, Gabbard. Next, you’ll be offering to personally deliver them.
Gabbard (09:45 am ET): And why not, Rubio? I’d get to see the yacht. Plus, you’d have some peace and quiet here without me.
Vance (09:48 am ET): Tulsi, you definitely have a knack for turning serious debates into a sideshow. 😆
Hegseth (09:55 am ET): 🔥 With Gabbard away on a mattress mission, we’d finally have a chance to get some business done. 🙏
Waltz (10:00 am ET): Let’s get back on track. We can crack jokes all day, but that’s not why we’re here.
Rubio (10:03 am ET): 🙏 Waltz, bringing sanity back into the chat. Any votes for taking up his suggestion on the Tempur-Pedic sale?
Bessent (10:15 am ET): Count me in, Waltz. It’s a solid gesture of appreciation for the troops.
Kent (10:20 am ET): Agreed, Bessent. Let’s show our troops we care - mattresses or not. They deserve so much more.
Witkoff (10:31 am ET): 💪🇺🇸 Count me in too.
Miller (10:40 am ET): I foresee a beautiful partnership budding here. 😏 Now, if only we could get POTUS on board.
Hegseth (10:50 am ET): POTUS and a troop mattress drive? Now that’s a headline I’d pay to see! 🇺🇸🔥💪
