“the problem is showing no signs of letting up”
Fake News.
The transcripts of conversations with foreign leaders are no longer published. Classified information is not leaking like it was, and now that the leak prosecutions are ripening, it will come to a screeching halt. Just trying to get ahead of that success, by planting a contrary impression.
People have to work day and night to communicate the President’s message, and give his spin on things to reporters. You can call that leaking, if that fits your agenda to criticize the Administration, and get them infighting.
And of course part of the message is portraying Trump as the “leaker” in chief, leaking to the media the positions of his own administration in twitters and press conferences. The man is violating every known “guideline” by not allowing the deep state bureaucracy to take his message and explain what he really means and why he is stupid because he is not listening to the ultrasmart people in the deep-state.
