According to a new bombshell report from CNN, Trump’s paranoia has reached entirely new levels in the wake of his impeachment scandal.
Donald finally found himself on the chopping block after one brave individual blew the whistle on his phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump attempted to bribe and extort his fellow world leader into coughing up dirt on one of his political rivals by withholding military aid and funding that was already approved and owed to the country.
This was a move that ultimately resulted in the loss of Ukrainian lives.
CNN is now reporting that Trump’s White House, as a result of Donald getting busted the last time, has taken steps to greatly restrict the number of people who even have access to Trump’s calls with foreign leaders.

According to the report, only a very small number of Trump loyalists are now allowed to sit in on his conversations with leaders around the world and that “transcripts of Trump’s calls with world leaders are also disseminated to a far smaller group of people inside the White House.”
The July 25th call with Zelensky that landed Trump in hot water to begin with evidently served to sound the alarm for Trump sympathizers within his White House, leading them to believe that not many could be trusted to hear his conversations — most assuredly because many within his cabinet know how shady his phone calls typically are.
Now one official tells CNN that “nobody is allowed on the calls… the barn door officially closed after the horse escaped” — presumably in reference to Trump being busted on his attempted illegal dealings.
The report indicates that those allowed on Trump’s phone calls now consist of national security adviser Robert O’Brien, his deputy Matt Pottinger, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and his deputy Rob Blair.
And experts are rightly terrified that this new move will heavily restrict the administration’s likelihood to adhere to oversight policy.
“National security professionals seeking to advance US policy objectives may or may not reflect or even be aware of Trump’s personal views, which are often divorced from a rational process and center on Trump’s own obsessions and political interests at the expense of the national interest,” former national security adviser to Vice President Joe Biden Colin Kahl told CNN. “Cutting subject matter experts and professionals out the loop will make this problem worse.”
It won’t be long at all before Trump is donning a tinfoil hat, folks.
