“He’s always asking people, ‘Who do you think is going to run against me?’” said the Republican who heard the president’s assessment in December.

Despite a bumpy first year and historically low approval ratings, this Trump ally said: “I don’t think he sees anyone, right now, being a serious competitor.”

Oh, Politico! Always well researched, well-reported work, often as good as CNN. Let's have a look.

"Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — who had recently bested Trump in a poll that tested the two septuagenarians in a head-to-head matchup — wasn’t a serious threat and would be easy to beat, Trump told a Republican with close ties to the White House who was in the room." O.k., so we have another anonymous source. This one says "Trump told a Republican with close ties to the white house who was in the room." Who was in the room? The White House? That's not a "who" so, it must be that Trump told a Republican and one of them was in the room. What room? When? Was this someone who overheard Trump tell a Republican, or was this a Republican who told the reporter? Why say "who was in the room"? Shit writing.


So, we move on -
It wasn’t the lefty politics of the self-described socialist that Trump thought were a losing proposition. Instead, according to the person in the room, Trump was hung up on Sanders’ age, arguing that Sanders, now 76, wouldn’t have the energy to run another national campaign.
Use of language - "it wasn't the lefty politics of the self-described socialist..." -- right, cuz that's what we'd expect. We'd expect Trump -- the right wing nutter - to focus on "lefty" politics. He's a "lefty." But, here comes the person in the room. What room, we still don't know. But, "a person in the room" said that Trump was "hung up on Sanders age." So, did Trump tell the room, or tell the Republican referred to in the previous paragraph. What was the context of this? Where? When? What event? Who is the "person in the room?" Does the reporter know the person was in the room? The reporter apparently was not in the room, so she's getting a story by a person who SAYS they were in the room. And, we don't know what room it was, or why Trump was talking about this at the time. Nothing.
Sanders wasn’t the only potential presidential candidate who Trump, 71, brushed off as a non-threat. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the woman he has nicknamed “Pocahontas,” would be “easy to beat,” he said. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker probably wouldn’t end up running, Trump mused. When someone in the room brought up California Sen. Kamala Harris, the president seemed not to have her on his radar yet.
Now there is someone else in the room. We know Trump was talking to a Republican, but now it's a group conversation. A person in the room reported the two previous Trump comments. With this comment, "someone in the room" (that would appear to be someone other than the "person in the room" mentioned before. Otherwise, why change the reference. So, "someone" (in the room) (what room? don't know), brought up Kamala Harris, but the President didn't seem to have the black woman on his radar yet. Natch. Racist.
Handicapping potential 2020 challengers — however premature the exercise is — has become a favorite pastime for the competitive president, who still regularly rehashes his shock win in the 2016 race.
No source at all for this "favorite passtime" for the "competitive" president. Yes, odd for a politician to be competitive, but Trump is extra special competitive. He has pastimes, and his favorite is to sit around "handicapping" potential challengers. Like a bookie or a Vegas gambler. That's Trump alright. No source, but that's his favorite.
“He’s always asking people, ‘Who do you think is going to run against me?’” said the Republican who heard the president’s assessment in December.
Oh, so now the Republican is talking here. But, above, it was a "person in the room" reporting what was said. No clarification here if the Republican told the reporter directly. How much you wanna bet this is second hand hearsay?

The article goes on and on. All anonymous. All hearsay. And, phrased as if she's talking about a group of guys in a basement arguing over their fantasy football teams. LOL. Thanks Politico, for your incisive, hard-hitting reporting. We now know that some people somewhere, some of whom were in a room, and claim to have heard the President talking about competitors said the President loves to sit around handicapping his potential competitors, and the arrogant son of a bitch doesn't think he has any serious challengers anywhere - they're all either too old, "easy to beat" or "not on his radar."

It’s all very clear. Trump has to have a clear opponent. He’s been using Hillary for a surrogate democrat. It’s not working. He needs a fucking Demicrat opponent!!! Get him one right now or he loses focus and plays golf.

If you're going to accuse somebody of 'shit writing' it would be good if you bothered to read for comprehension.
In early December, as President Donald Trump’s approval rating reached a new low of 32 percent, the commander in chief was rating the 2020 Democratic field from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
The room was the Oval Office, and the reported conversation took place in early December. The Republican source was one of those 'who was in the room' during the conversation.

See above. Much of your inept criticism is simply the result of your own failure to properly read the article.

John McCain: Mr. President, stop attacking the press

He has threatened to continue his attempt to discredit the free press by bestowing "fake news awards" upon reporters and news outlets whose coverage he disagrees with. Whether Trump knows it or not, these efforts are being closely watched by foreign leaders who are already using his words as cover as they silence and shutter one of the key pillars of democracy.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 2017 was one of the most dangerous years to be a journalist. Last year, the organization documented 262 cases of journalists being imprisoned for their work. Reporters around the world face intimidation, threats of violence, harassment, persecution and sometimes even death as governments resort to brutal censorship to silence the truth.
