Trump confides to friends he's concerned about impeachment [fake news]
NBC "News" ^ | December 13, 2018 | By Carol E. Lee (D), Kristen Welker (D) and Nicolle Wallace (D)

WASHINGTON - Despite President Donald Trump's public declaration that he isn't concerned about impeachment, he has told people close to him in recent days that he is alarmed by the prospect, according to multiple sources.

Trump's fear about the possibility has escalated as the consequences of federal investigations involving his associates and Democratic control of the House sink in, the sources said, and his allies believe maintaining the support of establishment Republicans he bucked to win election is now critical to saving his presidency.

The president has been on a days-long tirade, sources tell NBC News, lashing out at his own staff and lawmakers on Capitol Hill, frustrated by the threat of a Democratic House with subpoena power, an array of looming congressional investigations, multiple intensifying federal probes, a botched effort to find a new chief of staff and a potential partial government shutdown over a lack of funding for his top campaign promise - a border wall.

Trump has ranted about why no one around him is doing anything to stop any of it and vented about the lack of support he believes he has in Congress and within his own White House, the sources tell NBC News.

When a story doesn’t name its sources, I can’t take it seriously. That has not always been true.

I couldn’t get past, “Trump confides in friends....”

If that is the headline to a media story, the rest of whatever comes next is totally and completely made up.

he has told people close to him in recent days

I love how the fake news makes things up. Kinda like the reporter who says "People are concerned" about such and such, what? who? The fake media is quite simply never credible.

If I do not get two sources for a story that are willing to be public. I file it under maybe but probably not. we don’t get news anymore we get propaganda served as news.

Exactly.
If they were “close” to Trump, they wouldn’t give the media the time of day (at night).

Really? I think this is a lot of backlash to Pelosi and Shchumer getting their collective a$$es nailed to the wall during a public meeting. Pelosi talks about a transparent political party but you could tell that she and Chuckie absolutely HATED that public meeting and couldn't wait to get outside to a friendly media who would put the spin on for them. Sickening...

Yes, we all know that people close to Donald Trump tend to leak his private comments to NBC news.

Bombshell! It’s the beginning of the end for Trump!! BLah blah blah

Proper punctuation please!

Trump “confides” to “friends” he’s “concerned” about “impeachment”.

The Mediascum constantly try to create “self-fulfilling prophecies” — they hope that by hyping certain topics they create a groundswell of discussion and activity.

#FakeNews 101
