Trump Calls Out ‘Fake Media’ and ‘Illegal Leaks’ by U.S. Intelligence in Press Conference

This is the narrative Trump is likely to pursue. Instead of addressing the Flynn contacts with Russia, he will attack the mode by which they were discovered, trying to winnow out the bad actors. This is likely to result in even more acrimony, more leaks, and a dysfunctionally running government.

Political bias aside, I think it’s fair to say there is a civil war taking place inside the government, with two sides diabolically opposed to one another — working towards destruction, not unity.

    A good idea would be for Trump to create his own leaks that contain false information thereby destroying the credibility of all leaks.

    These press conferences are so painful to watch. The man is in over his head and has no idea what he is talking about. World leaders see right through the charade.

    I think nearly all world leaders would like to continue to enjoy what life has to offer.

    I disagree.

    It’s two sides versus one

    My girlfriend is not a Trump supporter. Interestingly, she employs Trump’s maneuvering strategy during domestic disputes. I pointed out to her that she is so very much like Trump! She considered this a mortal insult. I didn’t mean it that way.

    What is appearing to be disfunctional now was clearly disfunctional long before now. As a fixer, which Trump proclaims to be, the disfunctional functions must be brought to light. This is best done by breaking the disfunctional part so it cannot be ignored. Stirs up shit but results is what we want.

    This is almost as funny as when Hillary complained about her email getting hacked to expose her stealing the primary from Bernie. Doesn’t change the fact that wrongdoings are going on in his administration. Such a clown like the rest of them.

    Trump is his own one-man party. All sides are ganging up on him on the back of all the Russia fake news

      Trump can simply authorize the release of the wiretap transcripts with redactions as required. Then America will know text of conversation. Then have Flynn, Carter Page and Paul Manaforte testify under oath about their conversation with Russian officials.. Problem with that? If Trump has nothing to hide then why not?

      agree… Trump orchestrated a hostile takeover of the Republican party and he has both parties working against him presently. Populism is behind the TO and we have already seen it in Brexit and if the polls are correct in the coming French election.

    Stephen Cohen was on the John Batchelor show last night and explained the smear attack on Trump very well. likens it to McCarthyism…..

    This is just a bunch of fifth column leftist. They are trying to destroy Trump and the country too. Typical lefty treason. This has been going on since the 1930s.
