President Donald Trump went after “low-life leakers,” Democrats and the media in his latest string of early-morning tweets posted Thursday.
Trump called on the “failing” New York Times to apologize, presumably for its reporting earlier in the week based on leaks from members of his administration.
He also complained about “low-life leakers” and the “FAKE NEWS media,” whom Trump accused of making up stories and “sources” but said was “more effective than the discredited Democrats.”
Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!

The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! They will be caught!

FAKE NEWS media, which makes up stories and “sources,” is far more effective than the discredited Democrats – but they are fading fast!

The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story – RUSSIA. Fake news!

Before his election victory, Trump often praised Wikileaks for publishing hacked emails from members of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
His love affair with leaks took a turn for the ironic in October when the New York Times published a bombshell report based on Trump’s leaked tax returns suggesting that he may have avoided paying federal income taxes for 18 years.
Trump’s campaign subsequently condemned the documents as “illegally obtained” and called the New York Times “an extension of the Clinton Campaign, the Democratic Party and their global special interests” for reporting on them.
Shorter Idiot(White-Russia): I want everyone to leak whatever they can if it puts me in a positive light. Its patriotism.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you President Tantrump…
No givesy-backsies.
Fake news for a fake President.
Dear dog, he’s a child. A spoiled child. A spoiled, entitled child. With ADD. And tiny hands.
The repeating that 306 is some kind of landslide is really pathetic. Do his brainwashed supporters even believe it?
He could make a much better dig at the Dems by citing the unexpectedly good performance of R’s in senate and house elections, yet that wouldn’t sufficiently stroke his ego, The man is truly pathological.
