Trump Thinks Someone At Mar-a-Lago Could Be Wearing A Wire

Donald Trump has always had a tough time trusting people, but now that it has been revealed that the FBI was likely tipped off by someone in his orbit, his paranoia has gotten even worse. Rolling Stone is reporting that Trump has been suggesting for months that someone could either be wearing a wire near him or that his phones could be tapped, and now those fears are sparking a new civil war among his closest advisers. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump is growing increasingly paranoid that there could be a Mo inside of Malago. And he's probably right, because all of the reports right now do seem to indicate that the FBI, the Fed's DOJ, whatever it was were tipped off by somebody with knowledge of what's happening inside of Malago. So this could be a visitor, somebody that makes frequent, uh, trips there, which at that point could be any Republican because they all come down there or it could be a staffer. It could be a regular Malago employee. It could be one of Donald Trump's advisors. You know, the members of his office of the 45th president's staff who knows Donald Trump certainly doesn't. And that is what is freaking him out. And according to a new report from rolling stone, Donald Trump has actually been fairly paranoid that somebody at Malago could be wearing a wire, but here's the interesting part.

His fear that somebody at Malago could be wearing a wire and talking to the feds. Didn't just pop up this week. Apparently it's something that Donald Trump has been talking about since about may of this year, Donald Trump has expressed his concern that maybe somebody's wearing a wire. He's been talking to other staff members, obviously a lot more in the last week, you know, can I trust this person? What do you think of this individual staffers? Of course are coming up to him, telling him, be suspicious of this guy. It is a complete crap show right now with what is happening in Malago. Everybody's turning against each other, wondering who this Mo or informant could possibly be. But again, what's more interesting is the fact that Donald Trump has been worried about somebody infiltrating them for months, right long before the FBI even knocked on their door. Donald Trump was worried that somebody could be wearing a wire or also that maybe his phones were tapped.

So that only makes this a little more confusing. Right? You should have had no reason to fear that somebody's listening in or that somebody's recording your conversations prior to the FBI showing up at that point. Of course. Yeah. Like, oh my God, somebody was doing this. Why were you concerned about it before that? What were you doing at Margo? What were you hiding? What were you showing off to people? Because according to individuals that have been down there, Donald Trump does love to show off, uh, what they call mementos that he took from the white house. So what was going on that made you concerned that somebody was already talking to the feds? Right? That to me is the bigger

Question. And of course we do not have an answer to that, but maybe it's innocuous enough. Right? We know that Donald Trump has always been a paranoid person. You know, he was paranoid. According to everybody that worked with him in the white house, when he was in the white house, always thought somebody was leaking because somebody always was leaking. Always thought that maybe somebody had turned against him wondering constantly, can I trust these people or not? But that also goes back to Donald Trump's claim of only hiring the best people. Right? Well, clearly not. If you're having to ask everybody else that works for you, if you can trust certain individuals, clearly you're not doing a good job picking people to work for. You may maybe do a little bit more vetting, but whatever happens, we pretty much have, I don't wanna say confirmation, but we have strong evidence that the call did come from inside.
