Some White House officials are said to be fuming at the decision to ban American media in favour of a “propaganda arm of a foreign government.”
“This isn’t an ‘America First’ policy let the biggest perpetrator of fake news into the Oval Office,” one official told The Daily Beast of the meeting with Kislyak.
“[Trump] is either in bed with the Russians or too stupid to understand the severity of this mistake. Either way, the implications are truly terrifying.”
The White House was blindsided that the photo ended up on social media — and was used by Russia to troll the US, theNew York Post reports.
“They tricked us,” one White House complained to CNN. “That’s the problem with the Russians — they lie.”
“They lie”… just savor that for a moment…
