Trump asked source to go on TV to call on him to fire Robert MuellerBy JACQUELINE ALEMANY CBS NEWS April 13, 2018, 11:16 AM
That President Donald Trump has been running his own parallel communications shop inside the White House probably won't come as much of a surprise. A source told CBS News on Thursday that Mr. Trump called on Wednesday and asked the source to go on television -- to call for Mr. Trump to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
Meanwhile, on Thursday afternoon, the president tweeted a message that took a more subdued tone than that of his cable news spinning allies: "I have agreed with the historically cooperative, disciplined approach that we have engaged in with Robert Mueller (Unlike the Clintons!). I have full confidence in Ty Cobb, my Special Counsel, and have been fully advised throughout each phase of this process."
The president has been known to spend what's marked on his schedule as his "executive time" watching Fox News, tweeting, and calling friends and outsiders for advice, independent of his White House communications team and often against the advice of senior White House advisers.

How fucked up is that?

(9,771 posts)It's been said before, but it just struck me again the other night when I accidentally allowed myself to be exposed to audio/video of the Fucking Moron in Chief that he seems to think he is a performer on a reality tv show. Everything is staged for the cameras. It is one of the creepiest things about a truly creepy creep.

Trump can't fake it. He is a soulless cancer on America.

(115,926 posts)were somehow able to infiltrate Fox and take over Hannity's show, and tell Trump, on TV, that he should confess all his crimes, resign the presidency, turn himself in to the special prosecutor, and donate all his money to the ACLU.
Would he do it?
