President Trump on Friday denied reports of infighting among White House advisers over the situation with Iran, as he ripped reporters for citing anonymous sources in stories about his administration.

“It’s bulls--t,” the president said during a speech to a convention of Realtors in Washington, referring to the use of unnamed sources in stories.

The president denied turmoil with his advisers, particularly Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, as tensions escalate with Iran – saying that opinions may differ, but that he is the person who makes the final decisions.

I am sure there are discussions. But internal discussions are normal for important decision making.

Anyone blabbing to the media needs to be fired.

The liberal media is at it again, tying to create doubt and confusion.

Just like Satan.

I love Trump. Monday’s rally should be fun. If I were close I’d be in line already.

... but that he is the person who makes the final decisions.

At this point it absolutely amazes me that anyone could think that he doesn't.

I suspect no one is blabbing to the media. The media has picked up on the differing statements from various individuals not realizing that Trump and his team are playing high stakes Good Cop, Bad Cop. If you don’t want a war you have to look and sound like you are ready for a war. This is what they are doing. The media is trying to throw out chaff and cause dissention while portraying chaos where there is really a good game being played for the US and world peace.

Of course there are discussions and that is healthy. Let everyone give their point of view and the ramifications and them come to a plan.
