Ryan Zinke Hits Back at Claims of Tension with Trump, Calls Him ‘Best Boss I’ve Ever Worked For’
breitbart ^ | IAN MASON

Posted on 01/22/2018 5:45:11 AM PST by davikkm

Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke joined Breitbart News Sunday on SiriusXM where he downplayed a report that President Donald Trump has turned on him after his controversial decision to remove Florida from consideration for his agency’s offshore oil and gas leasing program. That report, from Axios, claimed Trump is “angry” about the move and described it as a “mistake.” A former Interior Department official is quoted calling Zinke’s decision “clumsy” and an “unforced error.”

Zinke countered the unnamed source’s characterization of the incident, describing his relationship with President Trump as “great,” telling Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Amanda House, “He’s the best boss that I’ve ever worked for. … He’s given me a lot of latitude, and his guidance is to win — pretty good guidance.”

“The president and I talk all the time. We are absolutely in sync,” Zinke explained, largely comporting with Axios’s sources’ description of a working relationship between the two men with “a lot of goodwill.”

Has even a single slam against President Trump ended up being true? If you want to know the truth about him, simply believe the opposite of what the Fake Media says.

The man didn’t build a real estate empire, follow that by building an entertainment empire and then defeated 17 Republicans and the Russians’ favorite, Shillary because he is stupid and incompetent.

Anything sourced from Axios is anti-Trump, 24/7. Embarrassed to admit this jack@ss is from Wisconsin, but he has all the Socialist Cred our state could give him, plus time served at The Washington COMpost.

“James ‘Jim’ VandeHei is the co-founder and CEO of Axios and the former executive editor and co-founder of Politico. Previously, he was a national political reporter at The Washington Post, where he worked as White House correspondent.”

(Above is from Wikipedia.)

So, as you said, believe the exact opposite! ;)

He sure looked pretty happy this weekend when he was greeting people at the WWII Memorial during the shutdown. That was nice of him.

And this guy is the best Interior Secretary we’ve ever had. Trump is a great judge of character.

What is funny is how the media has no idea how the real world works. Your boss can get mad at you but that doesn’t mean he will fire you, or that firing even crosses his mind.

This guy is a pathetic LIB loser-in-life who is always disgruntled because he is such a loser.

First I’ve heard of it! Is Breitbart pouring on fuel and fanning the flames?

I wish Zinke quit his current job and run for Senate in Montana. He’s win.

As to the policy - you play with fire as a Republican if you go after Florida as it’s a state that is always in play. In this case, we 2018 and Governor Scott on the Senate ballot - his life is much easier without having to explain away Trump putting his 1000+ miles of shoreline up for drilling (much more shoreline than any other Eastern state).

Once again Axios pushes its narrative and not the truth. Like all the msm
