President Donald Trump is reportedly obsessed with the idea of making his own White House aides take polygraph tests in order to root out leakers.


Four unnamed former White House officials told Politico on Tuesday that Trump is “constantly” bringing up polygraph tests in his battle to plug leaks amid the fallout of a whistleblower complaint on his call with the president of Ukraine.

“He wanted to polygraph every employee in the building to unearth who it was who spoke to the press,” one of the officials said.

[olddad65]

2. That mf should be the first to take one.

[dameatball]

3. Wouldn't a truth detector make more sense?

[SeattleVet]

15. Yes, since it would conserve so much energy by not ever registering anything.

[Tiggeroshii]

4. I imagine he volunteered to go first...

[Iliyah]

5. Paranoia getting worst . . .

6. Strawberries.

12. Yup. The steel balls are next.

7. That photo--what an ugly ugly man. Seems his inner core continues to rot through to the outside...

8. As long as he go First.

9. A madman

[murielm99]

10. The polygraph equipment

would grow legs and scuttle out of the room.

[PSPS]

17. Like this

[usaf-vet]

11. I think it's a great idea if it includes EVERYONE in the White House.

Could we get a Pay for View to see Donald wired up to the machine?

Bring extra paper and pens for the machine. 12,000 lies are going to burn up supplies.

[MuseRider]

13. The ghost of Nixon

is now taking visible form. Paranoia. Watch out.

[machoneman]

23. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep. There's a man with a gun over there.....

Hey, I like this idea. There will be no one left if he tries to institute this as I suspect his own lawyers, at least a few, are the biggest leakers. Trump, alone in the WH and talking to portraits!

Say, a new Trump game show: "The Biggest Leakers".

[NYC Liberal]

31. Well Nixon did endorse Trump back in 1987.

[orangecrush]

34. Yup!

28. They're in trumps top drawer.

[Talitha]

37. "They're in trumps top drawer."

[ffr]

16. I like the precedent this and other obstructions set for future administrations.

Keep adding them up, so when the next Dem gets into the WH, we can just lock the doors and they can do whatever the hell they want.

Lie detector test? Perfect!!! A political screening test. We can purge the FBI of those sons-a-bitches who had it in for Hillary and started this whole 'political experiment.' Heck, we could even carry out vindictive vendettas against them in public, humiliating their families and putting 'bounties' on them.

Two can play at that game, republicans. You've opened Pandora's box.

[Javaman]

18. and in the immortal words of George Castanza

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. Maybe one day the entire WH staff, from custodians to Mulvaney, will quit en masse.

That would leave Fat Donnie, Ivanka and Jared. Melania and Baron would have returned to NYC rather than take lie detector tests.

Only Ivanka and Jared would remain - and Trump's not sure about Jared.

So we would be left with a "stable genius" who is certain of his "great and unmatched wisdom" and has stated on multiple occasions, "The Constitution says I can do whatever I want as President, but I don't even talk about that."

During the campaign, Trump told a group of voters, "What Do You Have to Lose?"

Anyone want to start the list?

[llashram]

20. kind of extreme

I think. Paranoia Central.

[JohnnyRingo]

21. Even the people who prepare his food?

I don't mean the burger boy at Mickey Ds, but the WH culinary staff who cook for him daily and deliver it to his table.

"My my, this chicken is really juicy!" "No lie."

[Dem2theMax]

22. He wants to know who spoke to the Press?

Umm, hey orange idiot. I'll give you a clue. Go look in the mirror.



When is this nightmare going to be over? I don't know how much more I can take. I cannot imagine what everybody else must be feeling as well.

[machoneman]

24. They ALL spoke to the press! Hah-ha!

[Midnightwalk]

27. Traitor on the orient express? nt

[lagomorph777]

25. Great idea! You go first, Turd!

[Newest Reality]

26. Whew!

At least he's not suggesting waterboarding them...yet.

I think drug testing would be important right now: He goes first!

[CentralMass]

30. Lying is their native tongue.

[Nitram]

32. Hoo boy! Full-blown paranoid bunker mentality.

Hang on. It's going to be a wild ride. And I don't think it's going to end with a cyanide pill with Eva Braun by his side.

[erronis]

33. No one said that failing the lie detector test is actual a prerequisite for working under the peeRes

Johnny, Did you lie to get a job in the White House?
No - You're hired - obviously a liar.
Yes - too truthful - out you go.
