It should have been one of the most congenial calls for the new commander in chief — a conversation with the leader of Australia, one of America’s staunchest allies, at the end of a triumphant week.
Instead, President Trump blasted Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over a refugee agreement and boasted about the magnitude of his electoral college win, according to senior U.S. officials briefed on the Saturday exchange. Then, 25 minutes into what was expected to be an hour-long call, Trump abruptly ended it.

But I don't believe a single word of it.
Complete, unadulterated Bullsh*t
I tell ya, they are putting these out there to uncover all of the leakers.
If he does have a mole, he needs to systematically feed any possible suspects bad information and see what comes out.
But, this is the Wapo. Their secret source is a guy in the mail room.
If it’s not true, he has an even bigger problem.
I don’t think he would do this.
I know a lot of folks would like to believe it.
Yeah, that’s my thought too.
But I figured since this will be all over all the news outlets for the next 2-3 days that I would just get it out of the way and get it posted.
Not buying it.
Did the WaPo name their two independent sources?
How do they know?
I think you three covered it.
Not true.
If a mole is ratting, it’s a bad thing.
If it’s not true, it’s a bad thing too.
Hopefully Trump is setting traps.
I wonder if it is against the law to divulge information like this, true or not.
I don’t believe it either. VP Pence as referring to the fake news stories on Rush’s show today. The MSM is just desperate to say ANYTHING to bash Trump. Creating fake news every day.
They don’t.
They’re just inventing shit out of thin air now.
Every conversation a President has with a foreign head of state is classified at least Secret, by default.
Only the President can lower it, or permit it to be lowered.
It’s the Drudge headline - convos leaked.
CIA?
WH mole?
Trump realllly needs to clean house.
This reeks of FAKE NEWS.

This could also be the Wapo and AP picking a First Amendment fight with POTUS, hoping to provoke a criminal confrontation over divulging a source that does not exist.
That way all of journalism can call him a Nazi...again.
Fake news.
From Bob Dylan press conference in Australia during the 1966 World Tour:
Q:” What do you think of the Vietnam War?”
A: “Nothing. It’s Australia’s war.”
Q: “But Americans are there.”
A: “They are only helping the Australians.”
