Ruh roh, Reince Priebus lied to the orange one to get him to cancel NYT meeting

(snip)

Three people with knowledge of Mr. Trump’s initial decision to cancel the meeting said that Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, had been among those urging the president-elect to cancel it, because he would face questions he might not be prepared to answer. It was Mr. Priebus who relayed to Mr. Trump, erroneously, that The Times had changed the conditions of the meeting, believing it would result in a cancellation, these people said.

A spokesman for Mr. Trump declined to comment on Mr. Priebus’s role.

1. And This Manipulation Is Exactly What The Repugs Will Do With Trump And Then.....

blame any negative effects on Trump. They are going to be playing him as a sucker.

2. Reince can manipulate the Dictator? ..Of course..

ANYONE who knows how to flatter, and gets close enough to be heard can manipulate this tabula rasa . . .

[Siwsan]

3. I suspect one of the few questions Trump is prepared to answer is 'What is your name?'

He doesn't have a clue about what to do or how to do it. He's not even in office yet, and he is already FUBAR.

4. Was Bannon one of those three people?

Or is the whole story just bullshit so others can take the blame for Trump's refusal?

5. So will little Rancid Penis get his hands slapped?

6. Trump would have to be self-aware

Enough to know that he's been lied to. Of course, that might make him feel weak, so he'll just pretend like he wasn't lied to. The good news about Trump being batshit crazy is that at this point he's becoming very predictable.

7. lmao.

Thank you.

8. I might read a piece or two from the rag, but rest assured they are fighting each other ....

for legitimacy that has left them all. Secondly, NYT giving coverage about how they might not be getting a piece of the pie only proves the fact there is no bar too low.

9. Going to be one hell of an administration with everyone lying to each other

But what can you expect from Repubs? Cover your own ass first!

[bigtree]

10. might explain why Trump went to the Times

...instead of receiving them at his mansion.

11. Geeez...not even in office yet and the WHCOS has lied to his boss.

Wow. No wonder Donald drags his kids everywhere. How can he trust any of these sharks around him? His whole campaign has been a series of bolstered clusterfucks. And yet, here we are...

One thing is clear...it is going to suck the next 4 years for Donald too.
