Yeah, you are incapable of getting my point. I am saying he is responsible. You are asking for proof. I say I am basing it on Trump's personality and what he has said in the past. You want me to waste time digging up examples of this, when you know damn well you are perfectly capable of doing this yourself...but you want me to waste my time. You also know that something like this would have been a verbal message in a room so there won't be any "hard evidence" of this taking place. Fortunately, we are dealing with the court of public opinion and not a court of law. As I tried to say before, circumstantial evidence matters there. There is another option though, we can just wait 24-48 hours. I'm sure Trump will provide us with more evidence of his inability to deal with any kind of criticism.
Then you go off on this tangent of how Trump's hatred of the media has nothing to do with this when in fact, it has EVERYTHING to do with it. It is the entire motive for doing it. So, I suppose if you just ignore that, then your entire position of "this doesn't make sense for the White House to even get involved with this" starts to have some basis of being logical. The question I have is, are you so programmed that you managed this selective amnesia yourself or did right wing media show you how to do it?
