WASHINGTON President Donald Trump was confused about the dollar: Was it a strong one thats good for the economy? Or a weak one?
So he made a call ― except not to any of the business leaders Trump brought into his administration or even to an old friend from his days in real estate. Instead, he called his national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, according to two sources familiar with Flynns accounts of the incident.
Flynn has a long record in counterintelligence but not in macroeconomics. And he told Trump he didnt know, that it wasnt his area of expertise, that, perhaps, Trump should ask an economist instead.
Trump was not thrilled with that response ― but that may have been a function of the time of day. Trump had placed the call at 3 a.m., according to one of Flynns retellings ― although neither the White House nor Flynns office responded to requests for confirmation about that detail.

Last paragraph:
But to Cohen, who now teaches at Johns Hopkins Universitys School of Advanced International Studies, the problem is not the leakers. Its the president. Because Trump has shown no true affection or respect for anyone outside his immediate family, Cohen said, he cannot expect that of his staff. This is what happens when you have a narcissist as president.

Another “Hitler in the bunker” story.
Actually this isn’t even news.
Not even fake news.
Never was news.
Not even a dream.
Maybe another drug addled hallucination* in a gay hot tub.

This is total crap and lies.
How stupid do they think people are?
They are writing it for their brain-dead leftist minions.
Just WOW! Follows the meme that the left accuses you of their shortcomings.
Narcissism: Not giving a speech without referring to yourself every 30 seconds.
Obama wrote the book on narcissism.

They’re liberals.
lolwhutevs!
They think their Dim readers are very stupid.
Your anonymous source is passing fake news. Obama wouldn’t be interested in looking up women’s skirts. But would probably try to grab a look at a man’s azz from underneath.
I have no doubt that Obama and Hillary could not articulate the pros and cons of a high or a low dollar being traded on the currency market without some egghead telling them two imbeciles what to say.
hey have no interest in “news” or “fairness”, only in making up stuff that will drive people to their website. They know it’s going to be 8 years of famine so they’re grabbing whhatever they can.
Exactly. Serious projection.
Right after you give me a Lewinski.
Roger Stone seems to believe there is a leaker. He said Trump has hired people who ran against him. Sounded like he was saying you can’t trust them.
FAKE NEWS
Yeah, a guy who has built Billions in wealth after going close to bankrupt doesn’t understand the economy. I believe that and that pigs will fly.
I agree. I don't understand it either.
