Since their exposure to that jackass is limited, they can't write best selling tell-all books. So Trump orders them to basically lie, their choice is to refuse and give up high paying jobs, or lie and hope it all blows over fast.

My guess is administrators of the unit that refuted Trump in that Sunday tweet are likely under job pressure right now, that asshole Trump is that evil, he will keep digging for ways to fire them in the most humiliating way possible.

Well, that will change Zero minds... spanone Sep 2019 #1
