Trump: BarrGate is "Fake News" from a "garbage newspaper" because "We both deny this story"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The Amazon Washington Post and three lowlife reporters, Matt Zapotosky, Josh Dawsey, and Carol Leonnig, wrote another Fake News story, without any sources (pure fiction), about Bill Barr & myself. We both deny this story, which they knew before they wrote it. A garbage newspaper!

So what if I told Bill Barr to say I didn't break any laws. It was a perfect call. Get over it.

That Trump wanted Barr to do a press conference clearing him of any bribery of Ukraine in July.

Does Trump think we are that stupid? This is about saving face. Just like the presser Barr gave clearing Trump of any guilt in the Mueller Report about collusion.

He is trying to keep his base in line and trying to confuse or just wear out those people who aren't really involved in politics but who occasionally glance at the news to see what might be happening.

He knows that he has no chance to sway the majority of active people who align with the Democratic party. This is about keeping his based revved up and suppressing all other votes.

He had a bumper sticker on his car, "I Don't Believe the Washington Post." Every day, he'd get in his car and drive to the library, where he would read ------ the Washington Post.
