Trump Decries NYT Claim of Secret US Cyberwar on Russia as ‘Treason’ and ‘Fake News’
Ehm, which one is it?
Editor’s note: That’s good news. If the US hasn’t been trying to infect Russia with STUXNET 2.0 I think we will all breathe a sigh of relief. That said, is it treason or is it fake news? It’s either one or the other.
Following a bombastic report that US government hackers are targeting Russia’s power grid, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to accuse the NY Times of spreading fake news detrimental to US credibility and national security.
“This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country…” Trump tweeted on Saturday evening, before realizing that he forgot to actually dismiss the report of Washington increasingly targeting Moscow in a cyber-warfare campaign as “fake news.”
“…..ALSO, NOT TRUE!” he added in a follow-up tweet, without specifying whether the report was untrue in its entirety – or just the specifics like the targets of US cyber-offenses or their gravity.
Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia. This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country…..

…..ALSO, NOT TRUE! Anything goes with our Corrupt News Media today. They will do, or say, whatever it takes, with not even the slightest thought of consequence! These are true cowards and without doubt, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!

The US leader also stopped short of explaining what exactly he believes constitutes treason – the mere fact that the paper unveiled Washington’s presumably top-secret operation, or that the revelation might further erode the US’ image as the world’s moral beacon.
In an in-depth yet frustratingly void-of-details report on Saturday, the New York Times treated its readers to a carousel of security officials talking up their “aggressive” posture, including one faceless intelligence spook who bragged “We are doing things at a scale we never contemplated a few years ago.” Now just imagine the media hysteria if it were the other way around…

Trump is just not accepting how out of the loop he is. Does he really think Bolton or the CIA informs him ? of anything they might not want to ? Hell no, he is out of the loop. Just like with G.W., the intelligence quotient is so low people just orchestrate behind his back, let him find out by reading the papers. LOL. G.W. was informed of 9/11 while reading my Pet Goat. LOL.
Trump is finding out the hard way (newspaper) is he is just a puppet.
CIA /MIC/Deep state/Bankers/Israel to Trump: “US Presidents are puppets Mr President”
the Divided States of Zionist America has lost all credibility…… a disgrace and shame for all decent righteous US citizen…..
