"“If you talk about Russia, meddling, interference — that takes the PDB off the rails,” a second former senior U.S. intelligence official said, referring to the president's daily brief."

It has become tiring to read gossip attributed to anonymous sources that is later proved false.

This had dozens of sources. Most such stuff has NOT been proved false.

That’s why this is so great, it’s neither gossip nor anonymous. The sources are anonymous to you, but not anonymous to the Hill. See the difference?

It's pathetic that he's so volatile they have to resort to these measures to not upset him. He's truly like a toddler on the verge of a tantrum

He is both an immature child and a feeble, rigid old man, all rolled up into one. It's like he's sticking his fingers in his ears yelling "na na na, can't hear you" and yelling "get off my lawn" at the same time.

So here's a tidbit from the original Washington Post story about Trump and intel on Russia, which says everything you need to know about how he views women:

McMaster gained an internal ally on Russia in March with the hiring of Fiona Hill as the top Russia adviser on the NSC. A frequent critic of the Kremlin, Hill was best known as the author of a respected biography of Putin and was seen as a reassuring selection among Russia hard-liners.

Her relationship with Trump, however, was strained from the start.

In one of her first encounters with the president, an Oval Office meeting in preparation for a call with Putin on Syria, Trump appeared to mistake Hill for a member of the clerical staff, handing her a memo he had marked up and instructing her to rewrite it.

When Hill responded with a perplexed look, Trump became irritated with what he interpreted as insubordination, according to officials who witnessed the exchange. As she walked away in confusion, Trump exploded and motioned for McMaster to intervene.

McMaster followed Hill out the door and scolded her, officials said. Later he and a few close staffers met to explore ways to repair Hill’s damaged relationship with the president.

Well she’s a woman, so naturally Trump would think this. At least he didn’t molest her.

Says a lot about McMasters, too that he yelled at hef, essentially laying the blame on her for Trump’s own confusion.

He's like a petulant child that everyone has to tiptoe around. FFS, this is what we have in the WH.

We're all having to eat a shitburger because a million Republicans didn't feel loved by their parents.

I guess we should enjoy the ability to post here for a bit longer since the criminals just voted to repeal Net Neutrality.

This is the leakiest WH ever. In the beginning the WH was pointing the finger at career staff at the WH and accusing them of leaking. I think the leaks have actually reduced in volume since Bannon and Preibus left. I suspect most of the leaks we saw right after the inauguration were from inner circle confidantes jockeying for power.
The most recent NYT story about Trump's TV viewing habits had something like 60 sources.
Also unlike other administrations, nearly all WH people do not want to be quoted for attribution - they insist on remaining anonymous.

Wow, what a baby. Not at all presidential.
