Our president is a delusional man who thinks that everyone who reads his tweets are the mindless cult followers that is his base.
Trump tweeted, “If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!”
Someone on Twitter had a good response:
Next Trump will say, “If anyone is looking for a good campaign manager, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Paul Manafort!”
When it comes to Cohen, Trump is shitting himself, and he should. If Cohen has audio tape of the two of them discussing how to pay off Karen McDougal, what else does he have? Former Trump Organization executive vice president Barbara Res said Trump is “unraveling.” Personally, Trump has always been unraveling. It’s just that the right is a cult, and so he is able to act like a lunatic.
Today is no different than today, but this is one of the insane things he said in a Fox News interview, upon being asked about being impeached if Democrats take control of the house:
I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job. I’ll tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor. Because without this thinking [points to his head] you would see, you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.
Our president thinks he is a Mao, or a Stalin. The right has long since given up on their full of shit values, and Trump is the White Hope they have been searching for, because even Reagan wasn’t white enough for them. Everything is for Trump, and everything is about Trump.
As an Atlantic article points out, he doesn’t care about Manafort, because Manafort is a “good person”:
Trump has tweeted that he thinks “the whole Manafort trial is very sad,” and that Manafort is “a good person.” In declaring that he thinks “it’s very sad what they’ve done to Paul Manafort,” the president sent the message to the jury that the federal government is engaged in an illegitimate prosecution. Convicting Manafort is a violation of the unwritten rules that protect people like him, and like Trump. The president went out of his way to persuade the jury not to convict Manafort, not because of what he did or didn’t do, but because of who he is.
But when it comes to Cohen, Trump has got to not only be riddled with fear, but frustration that he is such a fucking moron. As the Intercept has pointed out, Trump could’ve paid off Stormy Daniels without committing a crime. I’ve had arguments with family members about whether Trump is smart or not. A smart person, running for the presidency of the United States, would look into whether an action was illegal or not.
The Intercept writes of how Trump could’ve have paid Stormy Daniels, and how instead chose to pay her a different way:
Donald Trump (and only Donald Trump) could legally donate an unlimited amount of money to his campaign, because he was the candidate. Therefore, he would have been in the clear if he had made an in-kind donation to his campaign by paying Daniels directly with his own money. He could also have used money raised by his campaign, including his own contributions, to pay Daniels. (Trump’s campaign took in a total of $333 million, with $66 million of that coming from Trump himself.)
Trump is shitting his pants, and he’s slapping himself on the forehead for being such a fucking idiot…
Update, 6:25 PM: David Pecker, chair to The National Enquirer's parent company American Media Inc., has reportedly corroborated Michael Cohen's testimony that Donald Trump knew of the hush money payment to Karen McDougal, and Stormy Daniels. According to Vanity Fair, Pecker has been granted immunity by the prosecutors looking into the hush money payments.
