The media is buying into a false narrative (again).

NYT is reporting (and deadline WH is reporting) that Trump was (and is) paranoid about a conspiracy that Ukraine tried to take him down.

NO, NO, No, a thousand times NO. That is what Trump et al wants you to believe!

Manafort is the one who pushed the Ukrainian conspiracy and poor Trump is just the victim. Yeah, I also have a bridge
in Arizona.
