It’s pretty desperate for the president at this point, which is clear from the fact that his lawyer is seriously considering becoming a cooperating witness against him and his former campaign chairman just spend the first night of, probably, the rest of his life in prison. But, it’s okay because he’s referencing the wrong IG report to exonerate himself from any wrongdoing. It’s one of the silliest things I’ve ever seen. A report that looks at the FBI and DOJ’s performance in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails and has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump is supposed to somehow clear Donald Trump because it doesn’t say he did anything wrong.
He might as well look at an IG report on Ben Carson or Scott Pruitt to prove his innocence, because it would be no different. He looks tired, puffy, and has a lost look in his eyes. His lies no longer even have a tether to a distorted version of reality.
And, as embattled as he is, his solution is to salute North Korean generals and make more apologies for Vladimir Putin. He wants to have Kim visit him in the White House and have a meeting with Putin, he wants to end joint military exercises with South Korea and is telling our European partners that Crimea belongs to Russia and Russia should be readmitted to the G7. He’s telling anyone who will listen that Kim has a winning personality and runs his country like a champion.
He’s fucking crazy, folks. This is not going to end well.
