Donald Trump revealed during a Wednesday press conference that he had kept details of his meeting with U.S. intelligence officials from his own staff in order to figure out who ended up leaking details of that meeting to the press.
I have many meetings with intelligence, and every time I meet, people are reading about it. Somebody's leaking it out, he told reporters. So then I said maybe it's my office. Maybe my office, because I have a lot of great people, maybe it's them.
Trump said he kept the content of the meeting secret so that he could determine if anyone on his staff was responsible for any leaks that may have emerged afterward.
"And what I did is I said I won't tell anybody, he said. Im going to have a meeting and I won't tell anybody about my meeting with intelligence, and what happened is I had my meeting, nobody knew. Not even Rhona, my executive assistant for years! She didn't know. I didn't tell her.

I was going to ask the rhetorical question, does he even listen to himself . . . but the answer is too obvious, even for a rhetorical question.

(24,720 posts)will and have offered a reward, (1 Million smacker's from Penthouse) (that is credible) to show this jerk asking "people" to urinate on bed that Mr. and Mrs. Obama slept on while in Moscow.
Was this because he was that petty and that extreme to be that much of a racist, I guess I just answered my own question, ---------------why yes, he hated a black man being in the white house.
And now the Russian's have a book on this "guy" because of the microphones being on wherever he was at.
And this twit told his "security" staff to be careful, that's it, be careful.
Did you and your "security" team sweep the room. Did you put on your tin foil hats to pick up the microwaves-----------------your are so full of Crap, it is amazing. Here let me put an emoji in this space to show you what it looks like, so that in the future you can use it for a reference
You idiot your were going up against a criminal organization that has taken down governments, murdered journalists and jailed people for writing songs about them, killed people with radioactive isotopes that were political opposition, and jailed a billionaire over oil, and have attacked gay's.............. and you tell your "private security" team to be careful, your going to Russia
