President Donald Trump visited Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Saturday, and according to CNN, a person "familiar with the matter" claims the visit "did not follow the protocol of a routine presidential medical exam."
I was about to say that this White House leaks like a sieve, but that would be unfair to sieves, which are supposed to filter out at least a few things. That's no slight on Trump, by the way. There literally aren't enough true loyalists in D.C. to staff the White House without letting in a bunch of leakers.
But does this particular leaker have the goods, or is CNN peddling in fake news?
CNN's hackiest of hacks, Chris Cillizza, didn't waste any time jumping on the paranoia bandwagon. The White House said on Saturday that POTUS was in for a "quick exam and labs" in preparation for his presidential physical, but Cillizza claims that we have a "President and a White House who have set a standard of dishonesty and obfuscation." He also notes that "Trump is 73 years old," and at his most recent physical "he clocked in at 243 pounds." This is where I'd point out that Chris seems to be of expanding girth himself in recent years, and has a long history of just being flat-out wrong about pretty much everything.
Scrolling through the mentions, "THE PRESIDENT MIGHT BE DYING OF CANCER OR EBOLA OR SEOMTHING," might be CNN's new Flight MH370 disappearance. The network is just that obsessed.
The network's squeaky-voiced host of the charmingly-named Reliable Sources breathlessly tweeted this late yesterday:
