Rachel Maddow sounds the alarm as Trump faces an attack he doesn’t grasp: ‘Not a drill!’
President Donald Trump has made America less safe by punching a hole in the nation's ability to defend against a certain kind of attack from Iran, MS NOW's Rachel Maddow warned on Monday, and they're already taking advantage.
Maddow opened by mentioning the devastating wildfires in Spokane, Washington, and a surprising way that Trump allowed Iran to sabotage efforts to fight them.
"We're watching those fires and those evacuations tonight after what has been a terrible day in Eastern Washington State," said Maddow. Worse still, "in seven different states today, local water systems now know they have been hacked into, in a mass cyberattack that is being attributed to Iran."
"You may recall that the Trump administration dismantled or radically scaled back cybersecurity capabilities within the federal government, including inexplicably firing the head of Cyber Command in the U.S. military," said Maddow. "Well, now, local water supplies again in seven states have been hacked into by what appears to have been a foreign adversary."
"This is not a drill!" said Maddow. "This is something that is happening right now and in real life."
Trump originally blamed the attack on Minnesota's Democratic governor, Maddow noted, but at this point "it is at least seven states. And so definitely, by definition, it is not Minnesota's fault."
The upshot, Maddow said, is that Trump has a "strange inability to process this kind of information, to even seemingly understand this kind of attack," and there's no way to know whether America "is even capable of mounting a defense and a response to this kind of attack, because of the way Trump deliberately degraded our cyber capabilities."

Trump ridiculed after eulogy for Lindsey Graham veers off course: ‘Stickler for accuracy!’
President Donald Trump couldn't even stay on topic during one of the simplest moments of his eulogy for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday.
Graham was almost always a loyal supporter of the president — yet despite this, he went out of his way to argue with the pre-prepared remarks about how great Graham was.
"Virtually everyone liked Lindsey," said Trump. "Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."
This comment earned instant mockery from commenters on social media.
"I love how @realDonaldTrump is such a stickler for accuracy," wrote conservative lawyer turned anti-Trump activist and former congressional candidate George Conway.
"Trump objecting to the work of his speechwriters again," wrote Vanity Fair Washington correspondent Aidan McLaughlin.
"All those years of Lindsey sucking up to this psycho, and this is the thanks he gets," wrote podcaster and political personality Jo Carducci, better known as "JoJoFromJerz."
"He cared so much about Lindsey he didn’t read his prepared remarks before the funeral," wrote Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko.
