Donald Trump Rightfully Calls Chelsea Manning a 'TRAITOR,' Washington Post Takes Offense
[TWEET BY DONALD TRUMP]
With Trump, there's this little game I like to play called "Good Trump, Bad Trump." One day he appears to be completely rational and highly principled, but the next day he behaves like a spoiled brat who can't accept the fact that fewer people attended his inauguration than Obama's. Good Trump, Bad Trump. It differs from day to day, and often even from hour to hour.
Obviously, this tweet about Chelsea Manning proves that Good Trump is currently in charge of the man. Chelsea Manning is a terrible traitor whose sentence should never have been commuted. In more rational times, Manning would've been executed, which is exactly what he deserves for his betrayal of his own country.
As always, the Washington Post takes offense at Trump's perfectly reasonable tweet. After all, the leftwing media have never seen a traitor they didn't like.
'The use of the word “traitor” is often tossed around by political leaders and others to describe alleged acts that threaten national security. But it is rare for a president to brand someone as a traitor, and raised questions on whether Trump could try to bring further action against Manning, who is scheduled to be released in May.'
Welcome to the alternative reality created by the leftwing media, in which calling a traitor a traitor is not done.
Well, unfortunately for the ladies and gentlemen of the mainstream media, Trump won the election. Americans wanted a president who spoke truth to power, and they got what they asked for.

The Washington Post. The conduit for leaked information from traitors for decades.
If Mr. Manning is scheduled to be castrated before his release, Mr. Trump needs to stop it before it happens.
Castration is cruel and unusual punishment and is unconstitutional, it is the president’s duty to ensure this unjust action is not committed.
It really is President Trump’s duty as a just an honorable man.
And he still has a Dishonorable Discharge.
But he wrongly called it "Chelsea". It's name is "Bradley".
Manning was convicted on July 30, on 17 of the 22 charges in their entirety, including five counts of espionage and theft, and an amended version of four other charges; Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy.
The charges were:
UCMJ 104 (Aiding the enemy): 1 count
UCMJ 92 (Failure to obey a lawful order or regulation): 9 counts. Mostly related to computers[2][3] Army Regulation 25-2, para. 4-5(a)(3): Modifying or installing unauthorized software to a system, using it for ‘unintended’ purposes
Army Regulation 25-2, para. 4-5(a)(4): Circumventing security mechanisms
Army Regulation 25-2, para. 4-6(k): Forbids transferring classified or sensitive information to non-secure systems
Army Regulation 380-5: Improper storage of classified information
UCMJ 134 (General article): 24 counts. These counts incorporate statutes from the United States Code: 18 U.S.C. § 641: Embezzlement and Theft of Public Money, Property or Records. The government said the records that Manning transferred were ‘things of value’.
18 U.S.C. § 793(e): This is part of the Espionage Act. The law forbids ‘unauthorized persons’ from taking ‘national defense’ information and either ‘retaining’ it or delivering it to ‘persons not entitled to receive it’.
18 U.S.C. § 1030(a) 1 and 2: These are from the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. Section 1030(a)(1) is sometimes called the ‘Computer Espionage’ law as it borrows from the Espionage Act.
Total: 34
In more rational times, Manning, along with (fill in the blanks)________and_______and_______ would’ve been executed, which is exactly what THEY deserve for their betrayal of their own country.
The name is irrelevant - if he got it legally changed he could be “Ixplit Manning” for all I know or care. What is relevant is what pronoun Trump may have used.
Manning is (and always will be) a male - even if only marginally so.
The Washington Post's offended Chelsea Manning's called a traitor? I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked! /s
Manning is even a traitor to his own DNA and gender. Unless he still has his man parts and is just acting out a ruse to escape justice.
You had to have that in your little article? Are you still butt hurt about Cruz or something?
You are right, it was significant, as it was part of a concerted effort, through numerous news stories (such as the Russia BS) designed to make Trump’s support less than it is and to make his election illegitimate to the low information types and decrease his political power. If not now, as time goes on and the weak-kneed Pubbies can’t take it any more. Hitting back every time keeps that from happening. Some can’t understand it. Some thought Bush did a great job.
Ironically enough, the uncompromising, immune-to-criticism president that this freakshow is calling for describes what Donald Trump is. How ‘bout dem apples?
