How ADORABLE! A grinning THUMBS-UP photo of TRUMP and PATEL to PROVE he STILL LOVES KASH with ALL HIS HEART.

Trump takes awkward photo with FBI Director to push back on 'totally false' report

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-denies-patel-firing/

Trump insisted that claims that he had considered firing FBI Director Kash Patel were "totally false."

Multiple sources told MS NOW that the president was considering removing Patel as soon as December, according to a report on Tuesday.

In a post on X, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted that the "story is completely made up."

"In fact, when this Fake News published, I was in the Oval Office, where President Trump was meeting with his law enforcement team, including FBI Director Kash Patel," she wrote. "I read the headline to the President and he laughed. He said: 'What? That's totally false. Come on Kash, let's take a picture to show them you're doing a great job!'"

It's like the line about fake costume jewelry: "It's not fake anything - it's genuine plastic." So are these guys.

Instead of jetting around with his girlfriend or doing non-FBI photo ops with Corey’s meat puppet in Vegas.

Are you REALLY gonna claim that you never took a cute selfie with your boss to show you weren't fired, after a massive screw up and public misappropriation of government resources?

I mean, c'mon, we've all been there.
