That's because he authorized the leak.

Yep, all of these competing news organizations, like CNN, NBC, MSNBC, etc., all got together and created this YUGE conspiracy to slam Donald Trump. They have never really done this any other time in history, but they thought it would be fun this time.

Either that, or they are reporting EXACTLY what they see and hear out of Trump's own mouth. How terrible of them to not whitewash the news so that our leader looks better than he actually is.

Tweeting is Trump's tell, and it's obvious as the light of day.

I had a chat with someone a few months back regarding Trump being President. I didn't want to have any kind of discussion. However, this guy started talking about how America used to kick posterior. In the end, this is what I got from the conversation. Said person knows that Trump doesn't know when to shut up. Said person knows that President Trump can be crass and petulant. It could be what said person wants. Maybe this guy didn't want a candidate who would conduct himself in a Presidential way. In his mind, it could have been "I want a candidate who will say whatever is on his mind, no matter how nutty is". Another factor could be "Donald Trump reminds me of myself. I can be boorish and blunt, and therefore, I relate to it".

Not the whole reason, but certain one big part of it. I certainly feel that it's a big factor. I will speak about what I've seen in my personal life. The most ardent Trump supporters I've met tend to be the types to say whatever is on their minds, or have said some bigoted things. I am merely talking about what I know in my personal life.

You have hit the nail on the head. Trump supporters do not see his outbursts and ravings as anything but "He says what he thinks !"

On the second point "Trump reminding me of myself", that is also what a noted speech therapist said about Trump supporters. She said he "talks like they talk and uses simple language like we all use when talking to each other." She said a lot of politicians do not converse that way and their words are too sophisticated and long for them to understand.

As much as we, on the other side, shake our heads and wonder how Trump ever got even one person to vote for him, the fact is, he read the temperature of the nation very well and crafted his whole campaign around exciting those few sticking points that people could relate to. All con men have that skill, and he has it in spades.

And to be honest, they have a point. One of the things I liked about candidate Obama was his plain spoken nature. Once they get to Washington, they run them through a filter.
