Trump furious over leak of warning to not congratulate Putin

Then this president needs to be impeached for incompetence.

No argument here. He's unable to perform. I would argue he's dangerously close to mentally unstable as far as the presidency goes. I mean, I'd let him work at the local fruit stand as long as he could work the register. But the mental stability needed to be president is very different than what's needed to be a reality TV star. And his name/fame is essentially the reason for 90% of his wealth. He knows how to get attention and how to create suspense and he knows how to rent his name out. He has no idea how to problem solve and doesn't have the ability to take on new information it seems.

I just cannot understand the secrecy of the information of that kind. Well, they advised the president not to congratulate Putin, so what? He often doesn't follow any advice, but prefers to act in his own way. Why is he so furious about this?

Because he was told what to do. He doesn't accept direction from his subordinates. Not only that, but he acted against the best interest of the country he doesn't know how to lead.

Why doesn't he congratulate American liberals when they win elections rather than tweet about how incredible he is and how awful the challenger was? After all, Democrats are just political opponents. Putin is an actual enemy of the US. For whatever reason, our president is his bitch. No American president with integrity and a spine would have congraulated him.

Not even Obama? :lamo

I am fairly confident that if Putin did not announce that Trump had congratulated him. Trump was not going to.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump was infuriated after it quickly leaked that he had been directly instructed by his national security advisers in briefing materials not to congratulate Russian President Vladimir Putin on his recent election victory during their call Tuesday morning, a source familiar with the President's thinking said.

Trump was fuming Tuesday night, asking his allies and outside advisers who they thought had leaked the information, noting that only a small group of staffers have access to those materials and would have known what guidance was included for the Putin call, the source said.
=========================================================
What does Putin have on Trump? It's laid out in the Steele Dossier that Putin has been cultivating Trump for years & is now likely blackmailing him. He never has a bad thing to say about the dictator of our leading adversary country.

I think it's funny how Trump supporters are more upset about the leaks rather than the content of the leaks. Why can't he just listen to his advisers with they advocate common sense?

Trump supporters said he may not have experience, but he could appoint good people and listen to his advisers lol. The only problem is Trump doesn't take advise.

Don't care who you are, or who you support, and who you don't like--leaking internal memo info is just wrong. Don't know about illegal, but certainly unprofessional, and definitely cause for termination.
But once the media has it, it's out. Can't fault the media for running with it.

No, not even Obama. See how easy that was for me? What is your obsession with mentioning Obama or Clinton in every other post? Now, are you suggesting that Obama did the right thing as a good president by congratulating Putin like the current president did or are you suggesting that the current president did the wrong thing as a bad president by congratulating Putin like Obama did? Which is it?

We all know that Trump has little control over his emotions. Trump seems to be furious on a near daily basis. Working around that humorless, self obsessed, incurious, impulsive and perpetually angry poltroon must surely be a lower circle in hell.

poltroon! Good one!
 
Since Trump won in a sham election...its only fitting that he would congratulate his puppetmaster in winning his sham election.

Obama said there's no way the election could be rigged.

But in 2012 it was a completely different Putin and another Russia. There was no annexation of the Crimea, wars in the Donbass and Syria, and the Russian president seemed to respect international norms.
