Trump Aides Refuse to Clarify Latest Accusations


March 4, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “Mr. Trump’s aides declined to clarify whether the president’s explosive allegations were based on briefings from intelligence or law enforcement officials, or on something else, like a news report. A spokesman for Mr. Obama did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”

“The president’s decision to lend the power of his office to such an accusation — without offering any proof — is remarkable, even for a leader who has repeatedly shown himself willing to make assertions that are false or based on rumors.”

Politico: “Trump’s top aides were caught off guard by the tweets Saturday morning.”

They know he's going batshit crazy as the walls close in on him. Paranoid much?

Trump basically went down to Florida alone. He has sort of isolated himself there this weekend. I think he's afraid of something, and he may have every reason to be afraid.
