Trump slams Washington Post as “made up garbage,” as DHS looks to monitor journalists

Sunday morning began with President Donald Trump claiming on Twitter that the Washington Post publishes "made up garbage," and that it was filled with "far more fiction than fact."

The rage-filled tweet came on the heels of a damning report by the Post on Saturday in which more than a dozen administration officials and outside presidential advisers illustrated a dramatic downward spiral for White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.




Kelly has threatened to quit his post on multiple occasions, and most recently, "blew up" in a heated argument with the president in the Oval Office on March 28, which was first reported by Axios.

But the Post's report soon afterwards offered a deeper look inside the "downward arc of Kelly’s eight months in the White House," and how "his credibility and his influence have been severely diminished."

Trump has instead been emboldened to act on his own, and a beleaguered Kelly has remained less engaged, and often left out of the loop entirely.
