Trump Just Bullied Mark Meadows Into Calling His Own Book Fake News
Vice ^ | December 3, 2021 | Paul Blest

Posted on 12/04/2021 10:58:10 AM PST by conservative98

Earlier this week, Trump flat-out denied Meadows’ account in a statement. “The story of me having COVID prior to, or during, the first debate is Fake News,” Trump said Wednesday. “In fact, a test revealed that I did not have COVID prior to the debate.” Privately, Trump was “furious about what is in the book and he’s angry with Mark Meadows,” CNN reported Wednesday.

Then Meadows, rather incredibly, agreed with Trump’s assessment. “Well, the president’s right, it’s fake news,” he said during an interview with Newsmax Wednesday. “If you actually read the book, the context of it, that story outlined a false positive.”

If I’m reading this story correctly, HE DID. The media took an incomplete narrative from the book and presented it as true. That’s what Meadows is saying now.

As Trump said, Meadows was “####### stupid” to write it. The “garbage” about the positive test should not have be included in Meadows’ memoir.

Mark Meadows is a jerk. All these people are disloyal. They need to learn to shut their mouths and not say anything.

I’ll never forget Meadows’ gathering of the presstitutes, pulling them aside, at the WH rope line, and, being caught on hot mic saying....Let’s talk off the record, over here....

It sounds as though the fake news was not what Meadows actually said but how the media interpreted what he said.

No, Meadows is NOT calling his own book fake news.

He is saying that if you actually read the book, it tells the whole story, which is that there was a false positive, followed by a negative.

It is the false reporting of what is in the book that is fake news. I also suspect that the part about Trump being mad at Meadows is fake news.

That is what the media does best. Lie or take part of a sentence and misrepresent what was actually said. Mr. Trump, imho, owes Meadows an apology. But I am not holding my breath for that to happen.

Sadly The Donald's bellicose temper is beginning to overshadow the great things he accomplished.

:”The Donald’s bellicose temper...”

__________

Yeahhhh, I don’t know about that.

The Donald seems actually to have a very long fuse.

Everyone subject to the stain of Original Sin reaches their limit occasionally and the steam starts to flow.

But there are so many instances I’ve observed since 2015 in which The Donald kept his cool for so much longer than, for example, I could possibly have done, in fact, usually long enough to cause his persecutors to suffer more or less the same fate as that of the Russian attack sub commander and his doomed crew in The Hunt for Red October. (You arrogant ass—you’ve killed us!)

George Washington was meek. Meekness, in its best embodiment, constitutes enormous power and potential for destructive action, magnificently controlled so as to minimize waste and injustice, and maximize the chances for obtaining a good outcome for all involved.

Your mileage may (and apparently does) vary, but in this way, I would say Trump is very much like Washington.

Interesting read on Washington. From what I have gleaned through the reading of history books Washington, while measured in attitude, was ferocious in the application of his policies.

Mr. Trump’s ego, in my most humble opinion, gets in the way of his greatness. If that makes any sense.

As a historical note, it was my reading and re-reading and ruminating of George Washington’s Farewell address that brought me to the point of supporting Donald Trump by both vote and donations exceeding all the donations made throughout my entire life to other candidates.

For it was George Washington who warned us, quite firmly, not to place our allegiance with Political Party’s and then spelling out the disaster of instituting career politicians.

When Trump came into the picture, a non political man but successful businessman, my support for him was not in question.

I have come to the conclusion, after following politics for nealy 60 years now that success in the private sector does not necessarily translate into success as being President and “Leader” of all the people.

Any way thanks for the reply.

“bullied”

Nope. No bias there.
