Paranoid Trump Spirals After Allies Turn Against Him
Donald Trump is amping up his attacks on the First Amendment after feeling betrayed by some of those closest to him.
The president, 79, has reportedly grown increasingly desperate to determine who is behind leaks coming from the White House—so much so that he’s pushing raids on journalists and pressing his administration to jail them, Zeteo reported.
“It’s all made him even more paranoid,” one of Trump’s longtime advisers told the outlet. “He has asked some Cabinet members who they think leaked the information… To those members of his Cabinet, I’d say what I’ve been saying for a month: If you want to find the [Iran-war] leakers, you may want to just look in the mirror.”
Trump’s meltdown over snitches has stood out even by his own standards, sources close to him told Zeteo. His breaking point, apparently, has centered on leaks related to the Iran war, including a bombshell New York Times report revealing that Trump’s Cabinet members were deeply divided over a potential war with Iran before he ultimately pressed the big red button on Feb. 28.
