Creative leaking

According to he whose name should not be spoken, we have entered into new and unexplored realms of leaking. There has apparently been real leaks of false facts. This is a hard concept to get one,s head around. How can one leak something that doesn't exist? One may  create false facts and spread false facts but how can one leak false facts?  The trumpeter seems to be saying that the leaks about contacts with the Russians by Mike Flynn, AKA Jack D Ripper, we're leaks about something that never happened. What would be the motivation of" leaking" that which is nonexistent? Of course it is obvious that the contacts in question did occur. It now seems of that Flynn was cashiered because he lied to Mike Pence by failing to tell him about something that didn't happen. Even for the deranged mind of Donald, this gets curiouser and curiouser.

Trump also seems to be borrowing a power from the Pope, and that is in fallibility. Under Catholic doctrine, when the Pope speaks about the church or religion he speaks ex cathedra and  is infallible. The T man seems to be claiming this power universally.At the very least, anyone who disagrees with him, particularly the press is irrebutably wrong. This is particularly true if it is demonstrable that what the D man has said is false. In a recent letter to the New York Times a medical professor who authored the description of narcissism in the DSM stated that Trump does not fit that description. Certain characteristics that those truly mentally ill with narcissism exhibit and experience he does not. On television, the doctor went on to explain that Trump was basically a lying, bullying unrepentant egoist. Basically he is just a bad bad person. It is for that reason unfair to the mentally ill to compare them to him. I have to tell you, that pretty much made my day.
