Why did he send out McMasters to make a fool of himself?


He treated McMasters just like all his other staff. He makes them all look like fools and liars.

The fallout analysis has begun...

Spying at this level is a foul business. Trump's failure to understand how he has soiled the waters dangerously is staggering.

He is worse than "Eddie Haskell"!

So that is the plan? Attack the person that risks his or her career to inform the media that the President himself is a danger to national security interests?


When are you going to start the yeah but Hillary skit?

Talking Treason?

Monday McMaster: "The story as reported is false!"

Tuesday tRump: "I had the absolute right to do it!"

What his followers fail to acknowledge: tRump is loyal only to tRump and will trash anyone and everyone who he demands loyalty from. He's a spoiled child in a 70 y.o. body.

SO amusing!

The utter hypocrisy on the part of the left in this situation is mind boggling. They really are actually that tone deaf. Here all this time I thought it was just some sort of political convenience thing.

So, Clinton was SECSTATE, and was routinely having top secret and above classified data sent illegally from the classified State Department network to her unauthorized, private email server. This is factual, and has been proven. Not a peep from the left other than accusations of a witch hunt. Fast forward to post election, WaPo runs with a story, using a source that is apparently "my cousin's neighbor's hairdresser's boyfriend's long lost evil twin", and that somehow satisfies the burden of proof for the lefties, and Trump is now guilty. Amazing how that works.

This is fake news at its worst. A story about nothing the only purpose of which is to keep the hate hot. Today's two minutes of hate.

I do believe that Trump is not smart enough to realize his tweets this morning undermine what the 'official word' was from the White House and McMaster yesterday. He talks about being 'active' and that's why it is difficult for his press staff and those that are his surrogates to keep up with him. NO NO NO -- it's not because he's 'active', it's because he has no clue how to phrase things to keep policy on issues consistent, non-contradicting. I don't think he meant to undermine McMaster but yeah he did. And McMaster has integrity and is probably not happy but what can he do?

He doesn't get the importance of choosing words, statements carefully.

Historians are going to love reading about him 50-100 years from now.

Maybe they will do a Broadway musical.....that would be hilarious.

Trump just tweeted he had a perfect right to reveal national security secrets to the Russians, even went it to some brief detail.

I suspect we'll get more than two minutes out of this.
