Great meeting
Trump had a meeting with them and they all said oh no that’s not what they said, they said the exact opposite, it’s the media who got it all mixed up, the media who saw the same live video everyone else saw. They weren’t playing him like a violin when they said that, no no, they were telling him the absolute god’s truth. They all agree with Trump about everything, of course they do, how could they not?
Just concluded a great meeting with my Intel team in the Oval Office who told me that what they said on Tuesday at the Senate Hearing was mischaracterized by the media – and we are very much in agreement on Iran, ISIS, North Korea, etc. Their testimony was distorted press…. pic.twitter.com/Zl5aqBmpjF

The Senate hearing was public and we all saw the intelligence chiefs say, among other things, that Iran is still complying with the terms of the JCPOA despite the fact that Trump broke America’s word on it and North Korea is still pursuing nuclear weapons in defiance of Trump.

Their testimony was aired live on television. How was it distorted?

This is gaslighting.
They were giving sworn, televised testimony in front of the United States Congress in which they directly contradicted things that Trump has said about the nuclear threat from North Korea and Iran and about the threat from the southern border.

My grandsons have introduced me to a new game they call ‘opposites day’. Basically, on saying ‘opposites day’, everything one says has the opposite meaning until ‘normal day’ is declared, so ‘open the door’ means ‘close the door’ and so on. It can get very confusing*. I think that maybe Trump started playing this game several years ago and nobody thought to tell him to stop.
*The 7-year-old really hurt my head when, part-way into the game he said ‘Grandad, if it’s opposites day, does that mean it isn’t opposites day? A bit too meta for my brain, that one.
I’m amazed that there’s any gas left for him to light. He’s burned up several Hindenburg’s worth already.
Notice the single sheet of white paper on the desk in front of him? That may be his idea of looking serious and busy. (Wish my desk was half that clean….)
Ha! God what even is that. He is such a dolt.
Oh I know, I bet it’s the names of each one, in a crescent matching how they are seated.
For some presidents, it would have been a scramble to get all the paperwork cleared off the desk; for Trump it’s a scramble to find a single sheet of paper that hasn’t been torn up or eaten. And to hide the crayons.
Oh God, his hair. It makes Bolton’s look dignified by comparison. And why is the Marine Corps flag hanging over the phone?
Got it! His hair; it’s the lining of a cycle-racer’s helmet.
It does look that way, but I think it’s just a chance alignment of the corner of the flag with the space between the phone base and the left side hand set. Otherwise it puts the flag closer to the end of the desk than Bolton.
Even in this photo, Trump looks like he’s only pretending to pay attention.
I can see the bike-helmet-liner thing,In this small, low res version, the paler bit of his hair on top looks like it’s some sort of Mohawk cut or a that boomerang has landed on his head.
