Trump Lashes Out at His Cabinet With Calls to Indict Political Rivals
NYT ^ | Oct 9, 2020 | Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman

WASHINGTON — President Trump berated his own cabinet officers on Thursday for not prosecuting or implicating his political enemies, lashing out even as he announced that he hoped to return to the campaign trail on Saturday just nine days after he tested positive for the coronavirus....

The president has not been seen in person since returning to the White House this Monday, but he sought to reassert himself on the public stage with a pair of telephone interviews with Fox News and Fox Business as well as a video and a series of Twitter messages. Even for him, they were scattershot performances, ones that advisers said reflected increasing frustration over his political fortunes only 26 days before an election with surveys that show him trailing Mr. Biden by double digits.....

The president was all over the map in his two Fox phone calls, throwing out unsubstantiated or discredited accusations, explaining that he wanted to bring home troops from Afghanistan to be ready to fight China or Russia if necessary and calling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan “the lockup queen” even as his own Justice Department was announcing the existence of an anti-government group’s plot to kidnap her.

Hag #2 had better be careful. Next time she demands service from a salon, her hair might end up green with the scent of vomit.
Hag #1 is Hillary

PDJT’s hosting of Rush Limbaugh’s show today is a “not to miss” event.

I expect some pinpoint, gloves-off commentary.

Maggie Haberman. Again.

They may be political enemies, Mags, but they broke the law and tried to engineer a coup.

Is he not supposed to notice?

/massive eyeroll.

So who is this Alex Conant person? People like that whom you do not hear of at all until an outlet like the Times needs to make up a story such as this one.

Absolutely! Just look at Hillary still walking the street if anyone doesn't believe there is a pattern of neglect of duties, incompetence, or both.

If Joe Biden is so far ahead according to media polls, why are they throwing out crap “news” articles like this?

The excerpt didn’t disclose who leaked this crap, but I assume it was an “unnamed source”.

I don’t believe anything the NYT has to print but I would have blown up about two years ago and fired a great many of them.

“Trump has not been seen in person...”

Wow. Well, if he HAD been “seen in person” they would have accused him of attempted murder by COVID.

"President Trump berated his own cabinet officers on Thursday for not prosecuting or implicating his political enemies."

At this point in time, Trumps political enemies are America's enemies.. And that includes the new york times...

It’s too bad that the people at the New York Times do not have access to the Internet or they would have already seen several YouTube’s of President Trump speaking from the lawn outside the White House. /s

Calling them political enemies in an attempt to minimize the severity of the crimes committed against Trump.
