Ah, the sond of little angry feet stamping in the morning


And a good morning to you, Mr. Baby President.




What the WSJ actually published was he said he "probably" has a good relationship with Kim.  And I don't doubt they quoted him accurately, but if he'd stop mumbling and speak coherently, it would be less likely that he could be misheard.  If that's the only problem with that lengthy interview, it's hardly something to discount the whole thing with.

You heard him, reporters (and Mueller), they're recording.  That can only be good for reporters (and Mueller).  If it's even true.  I wonder if the WSJ recorded that conversation?  That will be fun, if they did.

He has ten tweets (and more to come this morning, I'm sure) whining and retweeting other people's gotchas at Dick Durbin, Fusion GPS and, of course, Hillary Clinton since the horrible missile attack imminent alert yesterday, and not one word about Hawaii - and the nation's - scare or need to make sure that doesn't happen again.

What might have happened had North Korea thought that was a ploy to strike them?  You think that couldn't happen?  Or if the numbskull himself had thought it was real.  There are only a few minutes to react once a missile has launched.  And The Most Notable Loser is whining about personal publicity.

P.S. Yep. He just now posted a quote from somebody saying he's not getting enough credit, and it's got ellipses, so there's more coming.

UPDATE:

The Wall Street Journal did indeed have audio...


The Journal stands by what it reported. The Journal and White House agreed before the interview that audiotape taken by White House officials and reporters would be used for transcription purposes only. After the White House challenged the Journal’s transcription and accuracy of the quote in a story, The Journal decided to release the relevant portion of the audio. The White House then released its audio version of the contested segment.

[...]

In a message posted to Twitter earlier on Saturday evening, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said that “Fake News is at it again!” and said the Journal was “falsely quoting” the president. “President Trump said, I’D probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. I’D — I’D — I’D — NOT I!” the message said.

[...]

The White House declined to comment on the Journal’s release of the audiotape.

  Wall Street Journal
The Journal published their audio here. The article seems to be saying that the White House also published audio, but I'm not finding that.
