Virtual act of treason

President Trump enjoys nothing so much as contradicting himself ...

In light of .. his insistence that he has been “far tougher” on Russia than other presidents, one would expect the president to have cheered a featured story in the New York Times this weekend ... “U.S. Escalates Online Attacks on Russia’s Power Grid” ...

Now, for the actual Trump response ...

Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia. This is a virtual act of Treason

After disparaging the media for four years since becoming a presidential candidate, Trump has painted himself into a rhetorician’s corner; how do you outdo “enemy of the people”? The New York Times responded appropriately .. “Accusing the press of treason is dangerous” ...

... Just how treasonous could the story be if, as Trump alleges, it’s not true? ...

1. That tweet has the aroma of a ghostwriter.

Substantially? Virtual? Those are definitely not Trump words.
