Everything he does is the RIGHT thing. He is convinced he is perfect in every way, and his "kids" agree. I hope he ends up broke, leaves them nothing, and they have to find REAL jobs.

The Noninsane Person’s Guide to the CNN Scandal the President Spent His Morning Yelling About

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/06/27/trump_vs_cnn_on_retracted_russia_scaramucci_story.html

...

Reading between the lines, it seems like what happened is that CNN hyped up a story about the Scaramucci/Dmitriev conversation even though 1) Scaramucci had already acknowledged the conversation publicly while noting that any action he took as a result of it would have to be governed by ethics rules and 2) There's no evidence that any investigative body has found evidence of inappropriate activity involving Scaramucci or the fund. (The CNN story said the Senate Intelligence Committee is "examining" the Russian fund, which could mean anything or nothing, and that the Treasury Department is "looking into" the Jan. 16 conversation, which is equally vague. If you read the story closely you'll notice that it doesn't say that the Senate committee is investigating the Jan. 16 conversation, even though the framing of the piece would give you that impression.)

But Trump is melting down and claiming in an extended Twitter rant that this quickly acknowledged error in editorial judgment on CNN's part proves that everything negative that's ever been published about him anywhere is made up.

where one small error automatically invalidates everything you've ever written... But don't ever hold Glenn to that level of scrutiny, he'll just insult you and block you

Because that's how I viewed the situation too--although I looked at it as a vetting of facts more than editorial judgment.

If anything, in today's information climate, CNN should be congratulated on its decision to do so.

There's a flow to it. His "greatest words" aren't put together like that.

This Country does not have leadership, from top down. The baby man sitting in the Whitehouse is only supporting his fan base, the rest of us, and the world be damned. I wish NYAG would wrap up his RICO on this band of crooks.
