Trump’s lack of leaks, what does it mean?

It seems to me, that there really hasn’t been any leaks FRIM Trump’s camp. Politically speaking, there should be.

I was thinking, why doesn’t Trump have some one leak the Memo. Then it got me thinking, there really has not been a pro-trump, anti-trump Republican , or Democrat targeted leak from this administration.

Wikileaks, did not get their info from Trump, so all the emails shedding light on Poresda, Hillary, and MSM, were not Trunp leaks.

1) either there is nothing pro-trump, anti-trump Republican, Democrats stuff to leak: that’s highly unlikely

2) the msm wouldn’t cover it, that’s scary but again unlikely

3) the trump administration actually follow the laws, possible

4) something big is coming(draining the swamp), and Trump is going big then going home- probably more wishful thinking

5) ????????

Hes admittedly got OCD.

Its possible that he finds comfort in the rules of a system. Who knows....but thats a good observation.

It’s not unlikely, it’s demonstrably false.
There have been many leaks since Nov 8th 2016.

Except all the times they did so.

3) the trump administration actually follow the laws, possible...

Uhhuh.

4) something big is coming(draining the swamp), and Trump is going big then going home- probably more wishful thinking...

Filling positions with non-swampers and them subsequently being removed or resigning is not “draining the swamp” in any sense.

5) ????????...

That’s the most likely reality.

Which system? The one that says it's ok to cheat on your wife with a porn star; Just after your wife has given birth to your son.

Constitutional crisis?

Come to think of it, 9-10 months ago we were besieged by reports of leaks... leaks on top of leaks that leaked out into more leaks... and now, you seem to be right. No more leaks. At least, not many and not major.

The scenario I find most likely is that Trump finally got his inner circle of advisors working correctly. As Hazardous1408 pointed out, there were a lot of hirings and firings and resignations in the first several months of his administration. Maybe that was just trying to get good honest people into place, and it took a while to weed out the dishonest ones... and to get the swamp critters moved around so they didn't have access to anything worthwhile to leak.

Another possibility, which I find unlikely but possible at this point, is that the polls showed the leaks backfiring (or maybe drawing prosecutorial attention).

In any case, I believe most of that is going on domestically is timed to accomplish some major draining. Schumer is losing it by shutting down the government in opposition to a Continuing Resolution that he doesn't even oppose. All the Republicans need do now is pull a DACA deal out of their hat (which should be easy enough) and present it to the people as proof that the shutdown was completely unnecessary... and the swamp will drain come November.

Where's the advantage in Trump camp leaks? It would be immediately marginalized/argued against by the MSM and anyone the leak addressed. We'd likely only see it on alternate media. It might get some traction but would it be a game changer? I think not.

Leaks as the traditional route of both parties and Trump is anything but a traditional player.

Try the indictments that remained sealed as the leverage-game plan rather than the same old, same old 'leaks'.

But rules for other people. Surely by now you will admit he is profoundly engaged with his personality disorder, NPD, and that it's very prevalent in his behaviors. "Rules" are for other people, not for the narcissistic.

Ever been in line at a movie, and you see some people breaking in line? Going straight to ticket box? Those are the narcissists. Waiting in line is a rule for others, not for them. Being faithful in a marriage is for other people, not for them. Following the laws of the land, is for other's, etc. It is a profound sense of entitlement.

Additionally, during the campaign he said to someone at the rally about a heckler "if you punch him, I will pay your legal fees". So we also see a man who is accustomed to buying his way out of difficulties, or paying for his entitlement when charm fails him.

OCD? I would say no. OCD folks typically make good employees. They can't leave work for the day with unfinished tasks because it will drive them crazy when they get home, knowing they left something at work undone. And the task itself is typically done to perfection.

If you will look more closely at his actions, he doesn't seem to have a problem walking away from things that bore him, or leaving things 'undone".

He will make rules all day long. Just remember, they don't apply to him.

Yes, one would believe comments, attitudes and rhetoric of Trump would be labelled by the left.

There is another label we use for Trump.

A man.

Have they lessened since Prebus left? Bannon? Comey? Spicer? All of the above?

But is it actually technically considered as "cheating?" Considering he obviously paid for the Privilage.

I know in the US where that kind of business transaction is generally classed as illegal, the authorities usually have another term they refer that kind of behavior to... but "cheating"... I don't know.

He pays Melania for the privilege as well...

As to your point;
Unless Melania gave him permission to go elsewhere for whatever reason, then yes of course it is cheating.

Paying a prostitute doesn’t change the formula for what constitutes adultery.

I wonder if Melania considers it cheating? She never looks that happy in photo ops.

How does this ‘cheat’ thing work,
in open marriages?
I was sure
wondering....do you just go to the other one(s) until things cool down?

And what the hell does career choice have to do with anything? That is blatantly sexist!
Do you marry everyone you shack with?
Does anyone?

The question.

You’re on...

Uh, who leaked the "memo" that supposedly exists? That is a leak! Also it has been talked about over and over on ATS, even though the said "memo" is supposed to contain BS.

Only matters if it’s an intern...
Or so I hear, anyways.

Well, can you really blame her for looking constantly miserable? She is married to Donald Trump after all.

Only time you'd probably even see a smile on her face, is when Trumps off paying some lady to smack him on the bum with a magazine, before getting them to watch shark week with him for 3 hours straight...
