I mean, every reporter on the call knows who this official was, and this official exists. And we all heard the official say it.

The Failing @nytimes quotes “a senior White House official,” who doesn’t exist, as saying “even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on June 12 would be impossible, given the lack of time and the amount of planning needed.” WRONG AGAIN! Use real people, not phony sources.

As Mika said on 'Morning Joe', "It's simple. All he cares about is attention, money and sex, that's all there is to him."

As long as the cameras are rolling and his fat, arrogant face is front and center, he's happy. Everything is a giant TV production of narcissistic, "one-upmanship" starring HIM.

(oh, and he's an evil, sadistic prick too)

not like they try to ferret any information for themselves. Even so called "normal" people I hear parroting right wing talking points/lies..some don't even know they are doing it. I make sure to point it out.

Also, he can't stop North and South Korea for going on with their own Summit. He's just jealous because Rocketman has out foxed him. They along with China are going ahead with their Summit without the whiny bitch Drumpf and he is pissed so there will be repurcussions but I hope they stick to their plan. They have a right to since the world doesn't revolve around the whiny bitch. No Nobel Peach Prize for you whiny bitch but keep your fake coins as a consolation prize.

I just unfriended a person from my hometown because he won't question anything 45 tweets. He takes it at face value as the truth. Even when I linked multiple sources that proved 45 was lying he refused to admit that.

The last straw was him saying we don't need Hillary right now. I'd had it. It's been a year and a half since the elections and the topic I was posting about was Cohen soliciting money for access to the President. I guess he thought I opened the door when I posted that the Cohen actions were the real pay-to-play. Not the fake one about Hillary. He refused to see I was pointing out the obvious hypocrisy of the right going full tilt on the fake Hillary scam while the 45/Cohen one is very real and very publicly documented now.

He's following 45's lead and arguing the past to try to distract from the present.

45 could club crying white babies on Times Square on live TV and he'd say it was all computer-generated and fake.

They cannot be convinced because they are not reasonable people. They are truly cultists.

He's the one who idiotically planned this party, then cancelled it, and now wants to restart it. His actions make no sense at all, not at any point. But all he cares about is using his own incoherence to trash everyone else.

He is the least credible source in the White House.

Interviews from a prison cell are the only ones I ever want to see.
