Trump furious over leak of warning to not congratulate Putin

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump was infuriated after it quickly leaked that he had been directly instructed by his national security advisers in briefing materials not to congratulate Russian President Vladimir Putin on his recent election victory during their call Tuesday morning, a source familiar with the President's thinking said.

Trump was fuming Tuesday night, asking his allies and outside advisers who they thought had leaked the information, noting that only a small group of staffers have access to those materials and would have known what guidance was included for the Putin call, the source said.
=========================================================
What does Putin have on Trump? It's laid out in the Steele Dossier that Putin has been cultivating Trump for years & is now likely blackmailing him. He never has a bad thing to say about the dictator of our leading adversary country.

Can you imagine the 'walking on eggshell' mentality in that small group of persons with the access to this material? "I wonder if it's him/her!" They have to have large quantity Rolaids and the like on hand!

Trump just loves dictators, especially the one who is blackmailing him.

Well when the president is constantly doing stupid **** and lying then people are going to leak it. How stupid is this man? He surrounds himself with dishonest pricks and acts like an immoral dishonest dickhead then is surprised when people leak.

We should be glad they're leaking it.

Does that mean that all of those supporters of Mr. Trump who denied that that had happened are now admitting that it had happened?

Putin is laughing his ass off. Trump is even better for him than he could ever have imagined. American's are idiots as a whole

I am fairly confident that if Putin did not announce that Trump had congratulated him. Trump was not going to.

Trump is such a snowflake

I don't support government officials leaking info. Period. If they are caught leaking something that they shouldn't they should be punished. We can't run a government any other way.

But with that said, I understand their motivation to do so. This president is putting everyone under stress that they'd normally never have. Normally you have to do your job in a way that allows the president to have the best info in front of him to make the best decisions. These people have to do their job in a way so that they try their best to get this moron to understand the basic concepts and to beg him outright not to do incredibly stupid thing #1, #2 and #3. And then he goes out and does #1 and #2. I couldn't imagine working for a president so uninterested in the truth and logic. He's worried more about his personal standing than the country far and away. If he thought it would be popular he'd tear down the entire FBI and state department tomorrow and wouldn't even consider that it could have been a bad idea.

I just cannot understand the secrecy of the information of that kind. Well, they advised the president not to congratulate Putin, so what? He often doesn't follow any advice, but prefers to act in his own way. Why is he so furious about this?

As a general rule. If you are writing, you do not need to write the word 'period' you can just place a period at the end of the sentence.

If you are speaking then sometimes you may say the word period to emphasize the fact that the last sentence is over.

If you do feel the need to write the word 'period', it may be somewhat redundant to place the word between two periods.

Why doesn't he congratulate American liberals when they win elections rather than tweet about how incredible he is and how awful the challenger was? After all, Democrats are just political opponents. Putin is an actual enemy of the US. For whatever reason, our president is his bitch. No American president with integrity and a spine would have congraulated him.

The word I used doesn't refer to an actual period. It's a word used to indicate the finality of a statement and that there are no possible if's, and's or but's. It's a typical expression in the english language. I'll keep using it.

Then this president needs to be impeached for incompetence.

The people that voted for Trump were manipulated without their knowledge & that is a dangerous thing to see happen. Trump has demonstrated over & over that he is both incompetent & not qualified to be President.

I don't think incompetence rises to the level of being high crimes & misdemeanors. But there is always the 25th A.

Risky Thicket · Mar 21, 2018

We all know that Trump has little control over his emotions. Trump seems to be furious on a near daily basis. Working around that humorless, self obsessed, incurious, impulsive and perpetually angry poltroon must surely be a lower circle in hell.
