Mainecat Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The leaks coming out of the Trump White House right now are totally bananas Here are a few leaks that have come out of the Trump administration in just the last 24 hours: * President Trump abruptly ended a phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull after condemning a refugee deal with the country and telling Turnbull "this was the worst call by far" he has had with a world leader. * Trump threatened — his administration insisted it was "light-hearted" — Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto with sending American troops into his country. * The White House asked Judge Thomas Hardiman to drive toward D.C. to amp up the drama in advance of Trump's Supreme Court pick on Tuesday night. (Hardiman was passed over in favor of Colorado federal appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch.) I wrote recently that not only was this the leakiest White House I'd ever seen but also that the leaks — whether purposely or not — seemed to cast the president as a child who badly needs to be managed. What's truly remarkable is that the leaking appears to be growing even more frequent and even more deleterious to President Trump's image within just the last few days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/02/02/the-leaks-coming-out-of-the-trump-white-house-right-now-are-totally-bananas/?tid=pm_politics_pop&utm_term=.7e3c12a69c6b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoslinger Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) wonder who's doing this leaking? there is only a small amount of people in on those phone calls, and it wouldn't take long to set a trap and figure out who it is. unless, as i said before, much of this is an act.

Many think the staff is so concerned they are leaking info. Trump admitted the calls even as some donuts here called it all fake news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The are either doing it on purpose thinking it will make Trump look good or because they're trolling. Honestly don't know... I like to hope it's the latter because why would you want people that stupid running the country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't exactly make him look good and it doesn't t make Trump look good. Fact is the WH leeked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What he doing to you guys is bananas. It's like you are a moth being drawn to a flame. You guys should go snowmobiling, get away for a bit. Not focus on all of the hate in the world. Think about what is really important in life. Sitting around your electronic device waiting for that next "gotcha" moment isn't living. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I think it's priceless! All the media has to do is practice a little ethical journalism again and they wouldn't look so much like the bias hacks they are. Of course, they've been doing it for so long, they don't remember what real reporting or investigative journalism is, and their writing style is a waxing of poetic in misleading rhetoric for sure. Pure art and bliss fodder for the ones unschooled enough to buy in. GUT HOOKED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Be prepared for unprecedented. You guys are so quick to jump to conclusions that the White House is leaking info, but categorically denied pretty damning evidence that Clintons own people were leaking information about her a few short months ago. Doesn't that seem odd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
