it was discussed at length and thought about constantly.

you speak trumpese very well...

is a few blows to the head.

His toadies probably had to spend all day and part of the next to talk him out of it.

My guess is that he'll do it anyway - after the election.

And whenever he criticizes someone else, it is a reflection of how he feels about himself. The New Yorker isn't "tired", Donald Trump is.

The reporter may have agreed to keep the person anonymous, but i'm quite sure the reporter has the initials noted.

So, the fake news came from someone in PINO's own circle. The idea that someone would go behind his back is so incomprehensible to him. Which is really dumb, since he's been a backstabber his entire life.

(because he does it he assumes others do it too?), but someone surely told them this story. So either it's got some truth, or, even worse, someone inside made it up and told it to a reporter. Either way, someone is trying to stab him in the back.

Especially since he apparently perceived that the recent act against Brennan made him look good.

so many of these "damaging" leaks are nothing but that.

war...perhaps the other side will be more tolerant than rump and avoid conflict, despite rump's ignorant mouth...

Denying it was never discussed?
