I didn't see that post. So stop trolling.

You mean doctored ones? Really? Can he do no wrong? Is Trump perfect? No? Look he is not a king nor a dictator. He works for we the people and is far to secretive as it is. There is no way that he should be allowed to talk to anyone in private. Lets not forget day one in the oval office with the Russian's and zero American press present when he gave away classified information to a geopolitical adversary.

like the anonymous claim he blasted Boris Johnson. maybe it happened, maybe it didn't. but why would somebody leak it to the press?

He doesn't want liberals to criminalize what he says for political reasons, and for good reason. Your party is a hack party.

that's why it's good to be the King!


When you're President you call the shots. He can have as many or as few as he wishes, Dems should find a credible candidate, win an election, and try it sometime, remember, elections have consequences.

He's not a king. He's not entitled to behave like a king. He is a President, and that means he is subject to the oversight of the other branches of government. Checks and balances.

Well, needless to say, Don the Con can't run the government by himself. The more information he hides from his staff, the more difficult it will become to implement his policy. He's already painted himself into a corner, and now that corner is getting smaller.

Who is going to prepare the transcript if nobody is listening?
