"...And now he thinks it's because they all were scared of him. But the whole time they were just laughing at him."
HBI 11h
I really want to believe this is true but having trouble believing that PM Tru said this within earshot of WH staff
HBI 10h
It sounds like WH is full of leaks and internal spying, so why would PM Tru say this out loud and risk tattling to Trump?
Katie De La Matter 10h
Why would he say any of it a) at all, and b) in English?
Rogue POTUS Staff 10h
Recheck your assumptions.

OR RPS is saying they understand conversational FR, which is common for diplomats.
Katie De La Matter 10h
It's not French: it's Quebecois. Odds aren't as high that diplomats speak it, esp colloquial.

Oh yay. More armchair linguistics. Next tell us about how we use British grammar, not American grammar.
Katie De La Matter 10h
Translation wld give an explanation for why the tone of the quote is off, thought it might be helpful too.

it makes no sense that won't ID themselves 2 real journalists who can vouch they're real & keep IDs a secret.
Clive Gordon 8h
Obviously they're afraid of losing their jobs. Staffers can't become consultants or something all at once.
Enzo Loren 8h
Do CIA/FBI ops. who leak 2 press have less to lose? CIA/FBI sources can be tried 4 treason 4 leaking info.
Rogue POTUS Staff
ID of people who leak to journalists aren't well kept secrets. IRL it doesn't work like in the movies.
Clive Gordon 8h
What happens to them when they're found out?
Enzo Loren 8h
Disagree. See link to real instances of journalists going 2 jail 2 protect sources.
Enzo Loren 8h
good qstn. Given no material non-pub info has been released by them, I hope nothing too serious.

idk, deepthroat was kept a secret for years and years. But he had hard evidence
