yakov_a_jerkov | Трамп и Флинн

Вчера пресс-секретарь Трампа, Спайсер, сказал, что Флинн уволился/был уволен, в связи с потерей доверия Трампа:

“The evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this situation and a series of other questionable instances is what led the president to ask for General Flynn’s resignation,”

Сам же Трамп сегодня не говорит ничего подобного, а только нахваливает Флинна. Например (via

tijd) на пресс-конференции с Нетаньяху:

Michael Flynn, General Flynn is a wonderful man. I think he’s been treated very, very unfairly by the media -- as I call it, the fake media, in many cases. And I think it’s really a sad thing that he was treated so badly. I think, in addition to that, from intelligence -- papers are being leaked, things are being leaked. It’s criminal actions, criminal act, and it’s been going on for a long time -- before me. But now it’s really going on, and people are trying to cover up for a terrible loss that the Democrats had under Hillary Clinton. I think it’s very, very unfair what’s happened to General Flynn, the way he was treated, and the documents and papers that were illegally -- I stress that -- illegally leaked. Very, very unfair.

Мне кажется, стоит об этом помнить, когда, например, тот же Спайсер говорит о том, что Trump has been very tough on Russia, и, вообще, наша позиция -- Россия должна вернуть Крым Украине.
