I find it interesting in 2017 that no matter the claim of Pres. Trump, "analysts" are quoted saying, "nope not true".

I think during Pres. Obama's tenure the media was quick to find "analysts" to quote saying critics of Obama were all wet or to directly buttress Obama's claims.

It's deceit like this that erode the value of the media. They keep believing they will soon become forever part of the ruling classes and can say whatever makes them look good.
