Trump speaks for himself. It may be true--but unless we KNOW Trump said it and meant it a certain way, then we can't believe it as true. It is also true that Trump doesn't mind strategic "leaks" so that his enemies reach wrong conclusions, so that's possible too.
If Trump isn't quoted directly, I ain't buying it.
But this is being said by the people closest to him.... And it makes perfect sense
