(40,250 posts)Those around him and near him know this and they work hard to cover it up.
Unfortunately for his enablers, they can't hide him in the attic.

(8,292 posts)Belittle and demand respect when he deserves none. That shit show that I have seen clips of was a disgrace to the office of the president. He needs to go.
johnnyfins
(872 posts)This is what he does. Have long press conference, go after fakenews. Cause as much distraction as possible, and then tweet(right after the press conference)that sessions has been asked to resign.
Im starting to think that there was more to the rosenstein meeting than we thought. Good luck seeing anything more from Mueller.

(73 posts)And to make sure the focus isn't on the House turning blue, Sessions 'resigns'. And the press eats it up.

(872 posts)At one point, trumplethinskin backs off the mic. I LOVE that Jim Acosta(who is a vey good reporter, btw) doesn't get rattled and keeps going. TRUTH TO POWER.

The time is now folks, no more civility, Trump is not above the law.
