Donald Trump: the Washington Post Is ‘Made Up Garbage

President Donald Trump denounced the Washington Post in a Sunday Twitter post, criticizing a story about his chief of staff, General John Kelly. “The Washington Post is far more fiction than fact. Story after story is made up garbage—more like a poorly written novel than good reporting,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

The Washington Post reported that Kelly was experiencing a “downward arc” of influence in the White House while Trump was breaking free of his effort to instill more discipline. The story cited sixteen anonymous sources who were inside the White House, outside advisers, and confidants of the president.

“Always quoting sources (not names), many of which don’t exist,” Trump said. “Story on John Kelly isn’t true, just another hit job!”

Trump repeatedly feuds with the Washington Post over their coverage of his administration, especially the “palace intrigue” stories from inside the White House.

WaPo is pure propaganda. Enemy military information operations. Psyops. I wish our side did this, but we don’t have it in us, I guess....

I just love how this guy just tells it like it is. If our beloved GOP folks back in the 90’s had this kind of spine we would not be where we are at today.

Further, Americans initially did not like Trump’s boldness of speech. But with his successes and upward moving popularity, I suspect Americans are not only getting used to his kind of talk, but just loving it like I am.

An anonymous source is just hearsay at best. At worst, fabricated.

As usual, the Trumpster is correct.
It is truly an embarrassing time to be a journalist.
There are good ones out there, but those folks are evidently being kept behind closed doors.

Anonymous sources should not be used as lead data in an article
Perhaps ok to use as (labeled) background info

I have never spent a penny on amazon. I hope nobody else here does. It would be hypocritical if they do.

Newt, for all his flaws, was willing to stand up to the press. And the rest of the GOP jettisoned him for it. The GOPe was alive and well then too.
