Daily intel updates structured to avoid upsetting Trump

Why is Trump so desperate to please Putin?

[Anonymous]

Wait, if they have to modify the daily briefings, then the president is admitting he isn't doing his job.

Another reason he should be removed.

What a snowflake.

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.

So did she ever bring that Diet Coke he asked her to fetch?

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?

Wait what? I’m confused.

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

Yep, sadly this stuff is true and everyone in DC who's ever had to deal with Trump knows it.

NP. These sources are listed as "anonymous," but you probably know the names of a few of them, and they're certainly well known to those who work on Capitol Hill. It's not like went under a bridge, found someone not in their right mind and asked them to make up wild tales about the president. These are known people. Even the republicans have relationships with journalists.

Another NP, yes. Credible news outlets are not taking tips off of DCUM forums and making up stories. There is actually a lot of vetting of "anonymous" sources (see the Veritas sting that the post sniffed out as fake) and these "anonymous" sources are only anonymous to the general public, not the reporter and his or her editors.
