President Trump? @POTUS
FBI Director Comey refuses to deny he briefed President Obama on calls made by Michael Flynn to Russia.

I'm surprised Trump didn't replace Comey and Rogers. No idea what he was thinking.

Saw it.

I watched most of the testimony and this one of several things to which Comey said he could or would not address/answer.

I don't view this tweet as wiretapesque.

He's playing the game the news guys use. If Comey doesn't confirm the briefing, then just spin it as not denying it.

The President shouldn't "play" the same "game" the news guys use.

He's gonna get called out on this one too.

The press shouldn't be playing that game either just to be fair.

So you are saying the press can have a field day spinning statements with no repercussions? Looks to me like Trump is taking the play away from them.

The press have to. They need him. A POTUS should no longer need the press. Not at this stage and not for a couple years until re-election campaigns start revving up. A President should be above ALL of this at this point.

As POTUS Donald Trump put it, when asked if he regretted any of his tweets: " very seldom". He has not changed one iota from his campaign days, so deal with it.

I disagree. The press doesn't do the populace any favors with their games. They only serve the people that want us to be at each others' throats like the Dems when they aren't in power, the Russians and Soros.

Why do they want the Russians to be successful?

Yeah just sit back and let the press control the narrative. That could only help him

Obama did none of this and the media loved him.

Bush 2 did none of this and media hated him, but he said frick off. I am the Pres. Talk to me when you need to. You know where I am.

Obama's press carried his water for him. Trump's press has a hard on to nail his hide to the barn door. Fight fire with fire I say.
