Donald Trump Challenges The Cousins and Loses Bigly
The President tried to blame the Brits for his own self-created debacle. That wasnt smart.
Wednesday was a bad day for the White House, but Thursday turned out to be even worse. First, Rep. Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, sided with his team against the president, explaining forthrightly that no such wiretap existed. Then the Senate joined in, with its intelligence committees leadership releasing a statement even stronger than its House counterpart. It minced no words:
In other words, nobody in the Intelligence Community was spying on the Republican candidate or president-elect, period.
By midday Thursday, President Trump was fully exposed before the world, including by upset members of his own party who are clearly frustrated by the White Houses inability to shoot straight on issues of the gravest importance to our national security. It must be particularly frustrating that this distraction is occurring just as his approval rating is finally starting to tick upwards.
