LIES AND LEAKS

It doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone that Donald (The Bully) Trump may have leaked the stuff about Michael Flynn himself.  Why would he do such a thing?  Well, Flynn was getting pretty hot.  You knew he was a Russian asset and had been a Turkish agent, but it was going to come out that Flynn had been a Turkish agent all through the election process into the time when he became Trump's"security adviser.  So Trump is not only the liar-in-chief,* but I suspect he is the leaker-in-chief also.  What secret information Flynn transferred to the Russians and Turks is yet to be disclosed.

Presidents themselves make leaks to the press so Trump would hardly be the first to do such a thing.**

Personally, I don't believe anything Trump says.  I would have to check even if he told me that it is raining outside.  Take his comments on playing golf.
Trump has played golf at least 10 times since becoming president in late January, despite the fact that he teed off several times at his immediate predecessor Obama for indulging that very same hobby while in office.

"He played more golf last year than Tiger Woods," Trump said of Obama in December after being elected president.

"We don't have time for this. We have to work," Trump said at that time.

And, at an August campaign event, Trump said: "I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf."***

I'm sure you recognize that this comment as to Obama is called "Do as I say, not as I do."  But he actually lied about such a simple thing as playing golf.

We are only past the 2nd month of the Trump administration and it seems like forever.  I don't see how he can make it through his first term.  He is doing everything he can to alienate our allies when he is all praise for Vladimir Putin, the Russian dictator.

Certainly there are grounds to impeach him already with his Obama wiretap accusation maybe being the worst, but he is basically giving the Republicans what they want in policies.  And it could be worse.  Remember that many Republicans don't like TrumpRyanhealthcare because throwing 24 million people off of health care isn't conservative enough.  They want even more thrown off.
