Edit: please pay attention to the first two words of this headline. We don’t actually know if Trump received a target letter, he could be lying out of his ass to mess with the investigation.

    trump can’t keep his mouth closed.

    So if it’s too early for the government to make a statement, trump will usually start talking about it even tho he doesn’t have to

      Right, and when he opens his mouth it’s often completely false. Like when he claimed he was going to be arrested by the end of day and NY police said no such thing was happening.

      So again, why are we believing him as a primary source?

        Because he said it…

        And because reporting on it drives views to the website?

        Like, do you honestly not understand why an article was written about it?

        No one is “believing” him, the article doesn’t say it’s true, just that trump is saying it is.

            Sorry, but whether we like it or not, the guy is still the leading GOP candidate for President and de-facto leader of the party. What he says could influence the nation’s future. So yeah, it is newsworthy.

            I don’t see what saying that to me is going to accomplish…

            If anything, it does the opposite by making this post more visible, which drives more clicks to the website, and makes the website write more about what trump says

            So if you really want to do something about it, don’t reply.
