“TRUMP has exercised more restraint than many of us could
have done in the same position.”

Yes. Exactly.

Post of the day.

Never bought the original "firing squad" BS.

Trump did what he was expected to do; Give ONE benefit of doubt and offer ONE Olive Branch for a mutually fair relationship.

Any future breach will be addressed accordingly.

Go over the heads of the MSM like Reagan did, but with vastly more choices and modalities.

Exactly. He's The Gipper on steroids.

Except Trump is a bit more creative when people exchange his good faith with bad faith.

According to an article on Breitbart, he ripped them a new one.

According to Kellyanne Conway, he didn’t “explode in anger”.

I’m betting both are correct.

He knows quite well it’s useless to blow his stack and rant at them, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he said exactly what was quoted in that article, calm and even tempered as could be...

If so, I’d pay to see the look on Zucker’s face...

<><>“Trump started with Jeff Zucker and said I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed….

Cool as a cucumber, and rip them to shreds...

I’m not tired of winning yet...

I wish he would have gone “Full Metal Jacket” (ala R. Lee Ermey) on their heads.

They need to pull the First Amendment protections from the press. Keep them intact for the rest named in the First Amendment but they have so abused it, it must be pulled from them. They need to be liable when they do this stuff without the protection of the First Amendment.

Wasn’t this an off the record meeting? Why and who leaked it?

I’m sure it was more in sorrow than in anger.

Love the not-so-veiled threat about breaking one’s word and/or telling lies.....

I think he relishes it. He enjoys saying “You’re Fired!”

Yeah, not only are they liars, but they’re also untrustworthy rats.
