Trump says critical NYT op-ed has 'backfired'

[left-of-center2012]

President Donald Trump says The New York Times' decision to publish an op-ed from an anonymous Trump administration official has "backfired" and he has "picked up a lot of support" as a result.

Trump says during a rally in Billings, Montana, that "unelected deep state operatives" are a "threat to democracy itself."
But he adds that he is "really sad for the mainstream media."

Earlier, he claimed erroneously in an interview with Fox News on Thursday that "what they've done is virtually, you know, it's treason, you could call it a lot of things."

The president also said his administration is a "well-oiled machine."

1. Ignore him!

Who gives a sh*t what he says? Ignore him. It’s liberating.

2. "Well-oiled"? More like "slippery"....

As in a slippery slope with slippery individuals...

Tangerine Traitor is too idiotic and out of control to see what the world sees very clearly....

The only thing failing or back-firing is him and his administration.

They will eventually (hopefully very soon) have a reckoning.

10. Ha! GMTA!! I was thinking the same thing!

3. He also said there was a coal powered car coming that

would cost 2000k. So.....

4. The man is mentally sick and needs to be in a psychiatric hospital.

Shame on everyone who collaborates with this monster and allows it to go on.

5. He Says Things That He Wishes Were True

Sort of like a mantra.

6. oily is right

7. Lies For Dollars

8. Silver Lining.

Trump supporters will believe anything Trump says.

And if they believe their Leader has picked up a "lot of support", they may be lazy-assed and stay home from voting for Midterms.

9. +1. Well-oiled machine is running real good. Stay home and drink beer on November 6.

11. This was the plan all along, he is just shoving the cart further down the path

I still think the oped was crafted by back room Republicans to motivate Trumps chumps.

[Merlot]

13. Agreed - crafted by back room Republicans

That was my first thought. While everyone is having fun playing "who's the mole" the reality is it's a gop propaganda piece.

If that comes out,the NYT will be in deep...which is why they were chosen to publish it.

12. His schtick - saying things that he wants to be true, but are clearly false - is

wearing thin. He and his idiotic base are the only people who believe what he says. The rest of the sane population knows he is full of shit.

14. If his administration is so well oiled, why is he the color of rust?
