Whenever I need a good laugh I come to the POC section. Stuff like what the OP posted just crack me up. You cannot make this stuff up. The Pubs are a hoot. You just never know what they're gonna say next!

How does that change the fact that he specifically blames Obama?

Full quote: "No, I think that President Obama is behind it because his people are certainly behind it."


Even when Trump's actual words are laid out in print for all the world to see, people still deny he uttered them. Jesus Christ!

Sean Spicer's staff has Obama and Clinton holdovers???

Right.

Leaks come from everywhere.

For instance, if the ag department is requested to work on a controversial set of rules, and to keep their work secret until the relevant staff has signed off on the final draft, the likelihood is that someone will leak something to a press contact.

But you have made a distinction by singling out Trump's "own handpicked staffers." You've credited your claim to a specific culprit that your own source does not cite. In short, you lied.

As far as the Trump creature is concerned, leaks are leaks. And according to him, Barack Obama is to blame. If he doesn't see the importance of making a distinction between which leaks he is talking about, then why should I? I take him at his word and respond accordingly.
See above. If you want your criticism to be credible, you need to present it credibly instead of lying about what was actually said.

Here's an idea: mean what YOU say if you expect your grievance to be taken seriously and don't worry about what anyone else says.

Wah, wah, wah, the African guy is picking on me!

No explanation, of course, about exactly how Obama managed to infiltrate his staff. If President Snowflake is that paranoid, why did he hire Obama people to work in his Administration? Newsflash, Donny - the only people with access to that information are people you hired, so if they're unreliable, what does that say about you?

Moron.
Of course, it HAS to be someone else's fault. Wow. A month. How much longer can this continue?

Please. His folks are leaking because of how he is acting. Act like a president and this wouldn't be happening.
Eh.. he doesn't know how to... he thought it would be like when being on "the Apprentice" and acting like he is in charge.

He has proven how incapable and emotionally troubled he is. I don't know how he gets through a day, no matter where he would be, let alone pretending to be president. (And some believe he will last four years .. or eight).
