Trump threatens to reveal classified info to punish political enemies: They're 'going crazy -- wow!'

President Donald Trump threatened to declassify government documents to expose alleged “corruption” by his political enemies.

The president lashed out at the “Deep State” and the “Fake News Media” after the New York Times published an extraordinary op-ed by an anonymous senior administration official revealing what amounts to a coup within the White House.


“The Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy – & they don’t know what to do,” Trump tweeted. “The Economy is booming like never before, Jobs are at Historic Highs, soon TWO Supreme Court Justices & maybe Declassification to find Additional Corruption. Wow!”..

all of his former competitors such as Rubio / Graham etc. I have always wondered about their sudden (seemingly) turn around on rump and how they felt about him. We have a corrupt mob boss in charge of the executive branch of the United States government.

Where is Congress and where are the cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment?

Take care.

"declassify government documents" for political considerations, not national security.

As if Putin's puppet Donald really cares about our country.
