I hate to break this to you but the world is not all about Trump. I know it might seem that way due to his constant diversions to make everything about him.. but little things like Climate Change, ISIS, North Korea, Cyber attacks, immigration, European elections, healthcare, womens rights etc all in the news right now. It's not all about Trump. And you think all news originates with Trump. Who is he? God?
Yes, he has to get his news from somewhere. He's known to watch all the news channels in case you haven't heard.

And nobody has such a firm grasp on the truth like Donald Trump. Problem is, to Trump, truth is a constantly moving target.

Who? The orange buffoon in the white house. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

What a $ hit show we have in the WH.
Just came across the article...kind of insane. But not surprising based on what we know of Trump:
  • doesn't like to real
  • isn't exactly a deep thinker
  • likes things "simplified" and in easy-to-digest bits
  • refused to get his briefings leading up to the start of his presidency
  • watches cable news (such as "Fox and Friends") even as the President


Some interesting bits...

He'll likely believe anything, especially if it confirms his preconceived notions:
Quote:
K.T. McFarland, the deputy national security adviser, had given Trump a printout of two Time magazine covers. One, supposedly from the 1970s, warned of a coming ice age; the other, from 2008, about surviving global warming, according to four White House officials familiar with the matter.

Trump quickly got lathered up about the media’s hypocrisy. But there was a problem. The 1970s cover was fake, part of an internet hoax that’s circulated for years. Staff chased down the truth and intervened before Trump tweeted or talked publicly about it.''
Not surprising...
Quote:
Most mornings, current and former aides say, Trump reads through a handful of newspapers in print, including The New York Times, New York Post, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal — all while watching cable news shows in the background...

White House and former campaign aides have tried to make sure Trump’s media diet includes regular doses of praise and positive stories to keep his mood up...
The structure inside the WH sounds like an incredibly chaotic cluster...
Quote:
Aides sometimes slip him stories to press their advantage on policy; other times they do so to gain an edge in the seemingly endless Game of Thrones inside the West Wing....

A news story tucked into Trump’s hands at the right moment can torpedo an appointment or redirect the president’s entire agenda. Current and former Trump officials say Trump can react volcanically to negative press clips, especially those with damaging leaks, becoming engrossed in finding out where they originated...

When Trump bellows about this or that story, his aides often scramble in a game of cat-and-mouse to figure out who alerted the president to the piece in the first place given that he rarely browses the internet on his own.

Can you imagine your boss saying this on TV and you having no idea?...wow. That's gotta be incredibly frustrating for these people.
Quote:
More recently, when four economists who advised Trump during the campaign — Steve Forbes, Larry Kudlow, Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore — wrote in a New York Times op-ed that “now is the time to move [tax reform] forward with urgency,” someone in the White House flagged the piece for the president.

Trump summoned staff to talk about it. His message: Make this the tax plan, according to one White House official present.

The op-ed came out on a Wednesday. By Friday, Trump was telling The Associated Press, “I shouldn’t tell you this, but we’re going to be announcing, probably on Wednesday, tax reform,” startling his aides, who had not yet prepared such a plan. Sure enough, the next Wednesday, Trump’s economic team was rolling out a tax plan that echoed the op-ed.

Don't see the issue. What part do you find potentially inaccurate?

There is nothing to say to this line of "logic" and "reasoning." You might as well say that grass is purple, birds swim and fish fly.

You must have really enjoyed the ever evolving tale of how comey came to be fired, then.
