Trump Reportedly Continues to ‘Grouse Privately’ to Friends About John McCain

With the White House refusing to apologize for one aide’s nasty remark about John McCain, it’s perhaps no surprise a new report reminds us that the President himself isn’t a fan of the Arizona senator.

One of the points made in the ongoing debate over Kelly Sadler‘s comment about McCain’s opposition to Gina Haspel being irrelevant because he’s “dying anyway” is that if the White House apologized, the next logical follow-up would be to ask whether President Trump intends to apologize for the nasty things he’s said about McCain.

At a few public events, Trump has taken shots at McCain over his now-infamous health care no vote, and per Politico, his frustrations with McCain continue:

The president has continued to grouse privately to friends and associates about the Arizona senator, whom he considers an unhelpful pest.

In that sense, Sadler, the junior West Wing aide whose disparaging remarks have now sparked days of controversy, was merely taking cues from her boss.

Some Republican senators, quoted in Politico, have made it clear they’re not happy with the Sadler controversy.

Trump Blasts Media, Claims ‘Best Poll Numbers in a Year’

President Donald Trump took to Twitter once again Tuesday to unleash his outrage over the “Fake News Media,” suggesting reporters are corrupt and touting his poll numbers as the best he’s seen in a year.

It’s likely the president is referring to the latest Rasmussen poll numbers which claim 47 percent “of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance” and 52 percent disapprove. While his approval ratings have been on the upswing, those particular numbers should be taken with a grain of salt since Rasmussen’s polls are still regarded by some as a right-leaning, with its data usually not matching that of its peers.

But for the president, the numbers are a win that allows him to deflect attention away from a series of damaging media reports.

Trump and his staffers continue to be irked by leaks emerging from private meetings, which have made numerous attention-grabbing headlines, including reports of a joke made by communications aide Kelly Sadler about Sen. John McCain‘s (R-AZ) brain cancer.

Yesterday, the president said the leaks were exaggerated and that they were being used by the media “to make us look as bad as possible.”

Meanwhile he’s still dealing with Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s Russia investigation, which Vice President Mike Pence last week said needed to be wrapped up.

White House Leak Crackdown: ‘Men in Suits’ Reportedly Hunting Down Banned Cell Phones Using ‘Large’ Devices

Panicked by its inability to stem the flow of leaks, the White House is having men in suits scour the West Wing for non-government-issued electronics, per a new CNN report.

The men roam throughout halls and rooms to sweep for items such as personal phones, which they detect using a handheld device, inside sources told CNN. If something is detected, they’ll ask if anyone forgot to put away their phone, giving them a chance to come forward.

That’s taken as an extra precautionary step on top of ordering staffers to stash away all personal devices in their cars or in lockers by the entrances to the West Wing, the outlet reported.

While inside the building, they’re prohibited to use the devices throughout the entirety of the workday. Aides told CNN that’s resulted in crowds of officials gathering around the lockers to check the loads of messages that have piled up on their phones while they’ve been gone.

The personal cellphone ban isn’t new, however. It was implemented last January after Chief of Staff John Kelly floated the idea. While officials claim the rule was made to in the interest of national security, multiple sources said to CNN that they felt it was a way to crack down on leaks.

The White House has been met with intense scrutiny after issuing no apology in the wake of last week’s leak of a joke made about Sen. John McCain‘s cancer by staffer Kelly Sadler in a closed-door meeting.

According to leaks, Sadler quipped that McCain’s opposition to Trump’s CIA Director nominee didn’t matter because “he’s dying anyway,” and the crisis that followed led Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to call another meeting to berate staffers for the leak. News of that meeting subsequently leaked.

Sanders and Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah have focused their ire more on the act of leaking than the content of the joke itself, which has drawn scrutiny.

Sadly, it's the outlook of clowns like this is one of the main reasons why Trump could easily win in 2020.....they would cut off their nose to spite their face
