President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at the media after returning from his first trip abroad as president to a maelstrom of bombshell reports about his administration and, most recently, his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.
Trump suggested that news reports based on anonymous White House sources are in fact “fabricated lies” and are not based on leaks from his administration — which experts say are rampant.
“Whenever you see the words ‘sources say’ in the fake news media, and they don’t mention names… it is very possible that those sources don’t exsist (sic) but are made up by fake news writers,” Trump tweeted. “#FakeNews is the enemy!”
It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media.

So are we only hearing from him now because he forgot to take his phone along on his homer-hitting trip?
So much for having a team of lawyers vet his tweets.
Although, come to think of it, a scarier thought is that they did implement that and this is the result.
Fake news is the enemy [of tyranny]. We will tell you what the real news is. All these people going around behind my back and telling you what is really going on are a disgrace.
Back on American soil, soiling America.
Sad!
So if it’s his “opinion” that the leaks about Jared are “fabricated lies,” why doesn’t he just ask Jared?
