Ex-Bush Official Says Trump Is an Addict for Media

"SNIP............


Nicolle Wallace, who served as communications director during George W. Bush’s administration, said Donald Trump craves the press “like an addict craves their drugs,” The Hill reports.

Said Wallace: “We’ve just elected a man who bullies female reporters at his rally as an applause line. We have just elected a man who started a hot war with a female anchor instead of attending a debate she moderated,” referencing Fox New’s Megyn Kelly.

She added: “We are in a new place. And I don’t think it’s good. And I don’t think it has any parallels to the past.”

The CIC will be doing whatever Putin tells him to do and when that is not in conflict with the issue at hand, Trump will have no idea what to do.

I suspect we will see major, disastrous outcomes within 3-7 days of his taking power.
