Twitter Smells Something Fishy About McMaster-Trump/ Oracle CEO Dinner Story (6 off record sources)
Mediaite ^ | , November 20th, 2017 | by Lawrence Bonk

Multiple sources alleged in a report that National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster openly mocked President Donald Trump at a dinner with Oracle CEO Safra Catz, calling him an “idiot” and suggesting that he had the intelligence of a “kindergartner.”

Additionally, a sixth source stated that this was not a one time thing, alleging that McMaster often derides Trump’s intelligence level in private, suggesting that he does not have the mental acumen to understand matters pertaining to National Security Council.

“[Catz] said the conversation was so inappropriate that it was jaw dropping,” an unnamed source has stated.

While we wait for Trump’s forthcoming tweetstorm and/or McMaster’s humiliating mea culpa, some folks on Twitter have called into the question the credibility of the report’s sourcing, noting a strange discrepancy with the story.

McMaster booted NSC official Ezra Cohen-Watnick in August as part of his purge of the NSC in which he fired many Bannon loyalists. Guess where Cohen-Watnick works now? Oracle, the same software company whose CEO met with McMaster for the dinner in which he is alleged to have gone off on Trump.

The suggestion here is that the story may have been made up by sources holding a gripe against McMaster, a notion far-right Twitter nut Jack Posobiec did not help quell by alluding to the news a full day before it broke.

So, yeah, people are mighty suspicious, with many pointing out that all six sources remain anonymous.

This isn’t the first time a member of the president’s staff has allegedly insulted his intelligence. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called him a “fucking moron” during a meeting with staffers back in July.

This business of calling a political opponent ‘moron’, ‘intellect of a kindergartener’ etc. gets pretty old. GW Bush was a moron. But really, can morons fly fighter jets? Doesn’t make him a great President, but he can’t be a moron. Same with President Trump. How many moron billionaires are there that seem be able to succeed at business? How many political beginner morons take on and beat the practically anointed and nearly universally praised “most qualified candidate for President in the history of the country?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not only that but he beat her in a rigged election.

In a fair election, Trump would have had a landslide.

Throughout my career as a CPA, I have run into many professionals who thought I was clueless when in fact I knew the subjects at hand better than they did. It was their arrogance and lack of desire on my part to take the time to educate them on my understanding of the subject that led them to false conclusions. While they were focused on what to me was obvious, I was focused on the next steps and the implications. I also liked adversaries to underestimate me.

I expect that if there is any truth to these statements about Trumps understanding of issues, Trump is letting them believe that he is missing the points they are making and is simply on the next steps.

“Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called him a “fucking moron” during a meeting with staffers back in July.”

A total like asserted as if it’s absolute truth. And so easy to refute;

Posobiec and Cernovich have been gullible tools with this kind of fake news even going to the extent of promoting stories that McMaster and Kelly have drugged Trump and took away his phone. Useful idiots in this respect, both of them.

Remember what Trump said, “the leaks are real, the news is fake”.
