The White House refused to “validate a leak” disparaging John McCain, now Donald Trump is crying Fake News and promising to plug the leaks rather than address or apologize for a heinous comment.
The so-called leaks coming out of the White House are a massive over exaggeration put out by the Fake News Media in order to make us look as bad as possible. With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they are!

So the information coming out isn’t real, but the leakers are “traitors and cowards.” Got it.
The leaks are real but the news is fake https://t.co/Yt3WRbDW5Q

If they’re “so-called” leaks why do you need to hunt down these non-existent leakers? https://t.co/p8w4wJEn8e

In Trump's opinion, his staff member who made fun of John McCain's terminal illness isn't a "traitor," but the people who told the press about it are. https://t.co/CLtD4hjYdT

In that tweet Trump advances the idea that leakers are "traitors and cowards" while denying they exist by describing them as "so-called." It's a mind bender.
