TRUMP: KASH PATEL IS DOING A GREAT JOB
Trump dismissed rumors about replacing FBI Director Kash Patel during an Air
Force One gaggle, after unverified news stories sparked speculation about his
job security.
The White House quickly labeled the reports "completely made up."
Trump:
"No, he's doing a good job.
Kash Patel? No, he's doing a great job, I think."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was actually meeting
with Patel in the Oval Office when the story dropped.
The president reportedly laughed at the headline and immediately took a photo
with his FBI director to prove the reports false, saying:
"Come on Kash, let's take a picture to show them you're doing a great job!"

This story is completely made up.
In fact, when this Fake News published, I was in the Oval Office, where
President Trump was meeting with his law enforcement team, including FBI
Director Kash Patel.
I read the headline to the President and he laughed. He said: "What? That's
totally false. Come on Kash, let's take a picture to show them you're doing a
great job!"
Do not believe the Fake News!

Donald Trump is reportedly considering dumping Kash Patel
after months of unflattering headlines involving the FBI
director and his country star girlfriend.
Rumors about Patel's behavior have bubbled since he took
the job, from reports of partying, to using a government j
et to see beau Alexis Wilkins perform, to even assigning
her a SWAT team for protection.
MS NOW, citing three unidentified people with knowledge
of the situation, said in an online report that Trump and
his top aides had grown increasingly frustrated by the
unflattering headlines Patel has generated.
They have confided to allies that the president is weighing
removing Patel and considering top FBI official Andrew Bailey
as his replacement.

Seems he doesn't understand the concept of 'discretion' ...

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
