TRUMP DEMANDS NYT GIVE UP ANONYMOUS OFFICIAL FOR ‘NATIONAL SECURITY’ REASONS
Daily Caller ^ | 8/5/2018 | Saagar Enjeti

Posted on 09/05/2018 5:06:48 PM PDT by Eddie01

President Donald Trump demanded that that the New York Times hand over the anonymous official who disparaged the president in a recent op-ed for national security reasons, in a Wednesday tweet.

Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

“It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t,” the anonymous official said.

Trump previously called the official “gutless” and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a scathing statement saying “nearly 62 million people voted for President Donald J. Trump in 2016, earning him 306 Electoral College votes — versus 232 for his opponent. None of them voted for a gutless, anonymous source to the failing New York Times.”

The press secretary ended her statement calling for resignation, saying, “The individual behind this piece has chosen to deceive, rather than support, the duly elected President of the United States. He is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people. This coward should do the right thing and resign.”

“Should be able to identify the author by his (her) writing style.”

I read some article about that awhile ago. I find myself being very conscious of it when I post on FR now. Although I don't post anywhere else, so not sure why I'm concerned!

Just in the above I can pick out the words “awhile” and “although” are favorite words of mine! (Probably some deep pyschologic thing about commitment!!!???)

This is the way the MSM attacks back. They are all against Trump. They will do anything to stop his record of success.
The Supreme Court win put them over the edge.

Listen to talk radio. Lots of people say some things day after day. It is free speech, which we still have now.
Someday it could be taken away.

But it also notes that a 2017 speech that Ford wrote the phrase. He may have picked it up from Pence.

I’ve seen paintings depicting the gentry of Charleston enjoying a picnic and a view of the bombardment of Fort Sumter.

With the internet, we all get the view.

Even my local paper, which looks like it is edited by 7th graders, requires a signature for any ‘letters to the editor’ or op-ed. NYT has devolved into a grade school rag long ago.

I’m seeing Pence’s remarks about Sessions trending on twitter

“I hold Sessions in the highest regard”—Mike Pence

What the hell is going on?

Indeed. Sounds a little like this:

from The Manchurian Candidate:

Major Marco: "I tell ya, there's something phony going on. There's something phony about me, about Raymond Shaw, about the whole Medal of Honor business... I said: 'Raymond Shaw is the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life,' and even now I feel that way - this minute. And yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, something tells me it's not true. It's just not true. It isn't as if Raymond's hard to like. He's impossible to like. In fact, he's probably one of the most repulsive human beings I've ever known in my whole - all of my life.

It’s probably the same person who wrote the fake Vince Foster suicide letter.

It is time to crack down!!! Trump is distracted with matters of State but if he continues in denial of this treason he will be assassinated in fact or in effect. I am sick of this sedition . I am sick of the double standard. Trump is the constitutional president of the United States, They will not take him from us without the electoral college with out a blood bath you cant imagine.

Fake news is fake news. Credibility has been destroyed by fake news. CNN cannot even admit they are wrong when they are caught red handed.

I thought the media workers wanted to be the top workers in the White House. They picked Hillary and Hillary lost.
Now they are angry they are not running the country.
The elections picked a President the media did not want.
