Trump’s falsehoods are eroding public trust, at home and abroad.
If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world? We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.
The latest example is Mr. Trump’s refusal to back off his Saturday morning tweet of three weeks ago that he had “found out that [Barack] Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory” on Election Day. He has offered no evidence for his claim, and a parade of intelligence officials, senior Republicans and Democrats have since said they have seen no such evidence.
Yet the President clings to his assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims. Sean Spicer—who doesn’t deserve this treatment—was dispatched last week to repeat an assertion by a Fox News commentator that perhaps the Obama Administration had subcontracted the wiretap to British intelligence.

So we are no longer to believe what is written in newpapers like NYT, WaPo, Guardian etc or stated by venerable news programs like the BBC News. They all stateted that Trump and his campaign was investigated and some even said outright “wiretapped”.
Mr. Trump has a legitimate question about why the U.S. was listening to his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and who leaked news of his meeting with the Russian ambassador....
Yet, the Wall Street Journal refuses to give this set of FACTS an ample hearing, they say, because "the near-daily repudiation of his [wire tapping] tweet is a bigger media story." See what they're doing there? There IS a bigger story, says the WSJ--but we aren't going to cover it because we'd rather focus on something we want to speculate about!
Sounds as though Sour Krauthammer could have written that screed. He has been on President Trump’s case ever since he was nominated. The only person Krauthammer has hammered more was Sarah Palin. We no longer watch Bret Bari’s Special Report.
He survived his many false claims as a candidate because his core supporters treated it as mere hyperbole and his opponent was untrustworthy Hillary Clinton. But now he’s President, and he needs support beyond the Breitbart cheering section that will excuse anything.
Translation: Trump needs to get the approval of the Wall Street Journal before saying stuff.
How many stories did the NeverTrump WSJ write stories from Trump wiretapped sources? Yes we know you no longer have to tap lines, it is a common phrase.
What can we trust from the WSJ?
The maggots at the WSJ miss getting up every morning and being able to kiss Obonzo’s ring, feet and ass. To hell with them. They are just another part of “the swamp” that is about to go down the drain.
Well the WSJ has no credibility either, so what’s their point?
Classy WSJ or should I say SJW - especially because they know president doesn't drink at all. But he is like a drunk - yeesh its just a propaganda yelling fest now.
More bs from the Intellectual Yet Idiots who control the failing WSJ.
Sounds like journalists
AND just what did this ‘esteemed’ publication have to print when BO’B announced that THIS NATION WAS NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN NATION???!! Were they as tough on him as they are on This man, OUR PRESIDENT? MURDOCK = WSJ. Enough said. MUDOCK just released Judge N for telling the truth on FOX air waves. IT’s all about the money!! and power!
What they are saying is that they have no respect at all for the decision of 62 million voters. It’s just as simple as that.
The WSJ has no credibility as a political rag
WSJ = Fake News
Message to the WSJ; Let’s step back for a second and ask, would I believe the Wall Street Journal or Donald Trump if they told me opposites of the same subject? My answer would not be the WSJ. Sorry WSJ, all of you eastern elite media (in your own minds) have brought this on yourselves and can also thank yourselves for a President Trump.
The more they jabber on denying they tapped him, the more obvious it was that they indeed did. And for months. Multiple agencies.
Maybe...just maybe the latest DJIA.
President Obama, “Your premiums will go down $2500. If you like your plan, you can keep it.” Nuf said.
Globalist elites that couldn’t find their ass with both hands in their back pockets
