Legendary Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein called the Trump
administration a "malignant presidency" on Saturday, and suggested that
the wrongdoings committed by the White House were unprecedented.

Speaking on CNN, Bernstein warned that the Trump administration is "not
functioning."

"We are in the midst of a malignant presidency," Bernstein said. "That
malignancy is known to the military leaders of the country, it's known
to the Republican leadership in Congress who recognize it, and it's
known to the intelligence community."

"The presidency of Donald Trump is not functioning," he continued.
"It's really not functioning because the character and capabilities of
this president are called into grave question in a way that those that
know him are raising serious concerns about."


Bernstein called Trump the "greatest journalistic challenge of the
modern era."

"To report on a malignant presidency, what it means, and where it's
going," he said. "This president is not in control of the presidency in
a way that it is functioning."

"That has got our leaders worried, they are worried about his
character, they are worried about his temperament," Bernstein said.

"We are in foreign territory. We have never been in a malignant
presidency like this before."

[But you didn't have any problems for the past eight years or so]

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.

At the moment, it looks more like CNN isn't functioning. They can't even do
blackmail right.

Or maybe you're just gullible enough to believe everything you're

I damned sure don't fall for the disinformation the Russians, Breitbart,
and President Trump fish out from the various toilets around conservative
meeting places.
No matter how much you deny it, President Obama was one of the finest
Presidents in history. As time marches on, history will prove that.
History will judge President Trump to be the worst President we've ever
had.

You've got that exactly backwards. Obama did nothing but weaken this
country and its security.

1) That's not an answer, and 2) doesn't look like it's been pulled to me.

So what did they get wrong?

Even you can't be so ignorant as to know that CNN had to pull a story.
Three reporters left because of their sloppiness.

That has nothing to do with the "malignant presidency" story, which
apparently embarrasses you enough to snip it.

Tell us what they got wrong, you cheap trumpswab weasel.
