WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump was confused about the dollar: Was it a strong one that’s 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 Flynn’s accounts of the incident.
Flynn has a long record in counterintelligence but not in macroeconomics. And he told Trump he didn’t know, that it wasn’t 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 Flynn’s retellings ― although neither the White House nor Flynn’s office responded to requests for confirmation about that detail.

Last paragraph:
But to Cohen, who now teaches at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, the problem is not the leakers. It’s 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.”

I wonder what will happen if impeachment proceedings are started against Trump.
I am tired of all these unnamed sources.
Can’t we get some respite here at FR
What else is left for them? He’s throwing all their looney dreams down the drain, they have to reach for mental illness diagnoses.
These stories are posted waaA
at too often. We already know what Trumps enemies say....They have said it all along
We don’t need unnamed sources and nonsense to know we have to stand
A major requirement for fake news is unnamed sources.
Unnamed sources close to the owners of Huffington Post have told me that the owners of the HuffPo have an unnatural attraction to goats and gerbils.
This is unconfirmed, of course, but IT’S DISGUSTING!!! and that’s your take-away from this.
I might post a retraction later but it’ll be in Chinese and posted on the Hong Kong Bakery discussion forum.
Nice try, Hufflepuff.
The Voldemort is strong with you.
Actually he does have a rat leaking crap. Hope he finds her quick and deals with her. Or him.
What else is left for them?
Major civil unrest. Soros has his goons and we’ll see if he uses them this spring and summer.
My unnamed sources told me the entire Huff staff has an unnatural attraction to Rosie O’Donnell. Now that is truly digusting.
“If you don’t like them, then don’t click on them. “
I never click on them. But I’m always astonished to see them stinking up FR.
LOL Ha Ha HA Ha... More Fake News. Why post this drivel here?
How stupid do they think people are?
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
Translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010
It so happens that President Trump has a degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Actually we do. We need to know what the enemy is posting. Trumps team does not leak. This is more made up news but we need to know about it every day so we can counter their lies.
If impeachment proceedings start against Trump, well, that is why we have constitutional militias. They will defend our president!
Joseph Goebbels U can sure crank out the presstitutes, eh?
