  • Should there be leaks? — NO!
  • Should media write about leaks? — NO!
  • Is Trump presidential? — NO!

Here’s the current cycle:

  1. Inner staff + “IC” thinks Trump is not acting “presidential”.
  2. Inner staff + “IC” leak information to press.
  3. Press loves it. They write everything they get. People click, read, buy! Press makes $$$. $NYT has doubled since $10 to $20 share.

Leaks should not happen but first, Trump needs to act presidential!
