I am finding it hard to believe that 20 Republicans who are close to Trump’s campaign were willing to speak with the NY Times considering the sort of coverage they have written about him. What conservative, what Trump supporter, knowing how the Times has treated Trump, knowing how the Times doesn’t like Trump and just had an article basically saying that journalists who write about Trump and see him as a dangerous demagogue essentially have right to be biased, would speak to the Times anonymously? Let alone anyone who works for his campaign. In order for this article to be true, they would have to find 20 people in Trump’s inner circle enough to know him that way. They would have to find 20 people who not only know him that way but are willing to speak to the Times knowing such an article would harm his campaign. IF this is true, if 20 people who were in my inner circle were willing to speak on condition of anonymity to the Times in an article that is not beneficial to me, I’d be sullen and cranky too.
NYT lies. If it wasn’t just made up, it was 20 low-level functionaries from the RNC or Manafort minimum wage staffers who have never seen Trump in private close up.
The idea that he is erratic, angry, sullen, and exhausted is a new Dem talking point. Scarborough tried it out a few days ago on his over-the-top Trump bashing TV show. I have a strong feeling the source for all these lefty “reporters” is either the DNC or anti-Trump RNC figures who have heard rumors or simply made things up whole cloth. Remember, everything that they think is going to be a big issue for Hillary to deal with, they try to hit Trump with first. This isn’t the first time.
