Kellyanne Conway: Leaks of Trumps calls with U.S. allies were unflattering to the allies

Source: Washington Post

Finally given the chance, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway might have been expected to rebut reports that her boss, President Trump, had bragged to world leaders about his crowd size, brushed off the Australian prime minister and used the words "bad hombres" while chastising the Mexican president.

The president's diplomatic phone calls had caused so much alarm, after all, that Fox News anchor Howard Kurtz suggested that whoever leaked the transcripts was "trying to undermine Donald Trump."

Officials in two hemispheres had been working damage control after reports about the president's uncomfortable phone calls with world leaders circulated. U.S. senators assured Australia that the countries' alliance is intact, and Mexican officials denied reports that Trump had threatened them with war.

But Conway didn't deny anything. Appearing on Fox News's "Media Buzz" that aired Sunday, she acknowledged that the leaks looked bad — just not for Trump. "I can't imagine it came from the Australian or Mexican side," Conway said, "because the calls as reported were very unflattering to those two leaders."

This almost as bad as the Bowling Green Massacre. The phone call leaks made the other nation's leaders look bad?

Unless he is making them on his unsecured smart phone. Then it might be hard.

and it's "unflattering to them." Trump is going to have to replace his propaganda head if she doesn't get better at lying and spinning.

Then I read it was Fox. So much for her boss being the So-Called Persident of all Americans.

I'd like Australia, Mexico and Russia to release full voice recordings of the republican presidents calls.
