Besties no more
Trump has stopped saying “Obama likes me!” He’s stopped saying he likes Obama. Now he says Obama was “very nice to me with words” but since then they have “no relationship.” Did he think they were going to be buddies? I suppose they could have played golf, but I’m pretty sure Obama knows more congenial people even for that.
Meanwhile he’s still saying Obama spied on him, and when John Dickerson tries to get him to explain what he means, first Trump repeatedly says “You can take it the way you want, you can take it any way you want,” as if it were all a matter of “taking” things one way or another, as opposed to a matter of facts, evidence, accusations of committing a felony, and lying.
Then he just makes a rude gesture and says get out.
I have a little fantasy of having Trump in a room, all by ourselves, and he’s tied down, and I get to tell him what’s wrong with him. I get to explain it to him.
“I don’t stand by anything.”
He admitted that he doesn’t believe the things he says? Even the things he said 10 seconds earlier?
My fantasy is that we get Barack Obama, at whatever that costs plus danger money, to take him through the Constitution line by line, then through all the developments of the past 50 years or so in the Supreme Court and elsewhere which relate to that Constitution and how.
I’d like to sit in on the bit where he explains the presidency of LBJ and how being genuinely tough and an operator beyond Trump’s wildest dreams led to a president using those characteristics to bring in the progressive legislation of the 1960s, in fulfilment of that Constitution and its Amendments.
“I have a little fantasy of having Trump in a room, all by ourselves, and he’s tied down, and I get to tell him what’s wrong with him. I get to explain it to him.”
That could take a while. I would happily send in drinks and snacks to keep you going, if that would help.
The one problem with that scenario, Maureen, is when they go through the bit about LBJ and the Vietnam War, and that is the only message Trump takes from it – start foreign wars because I am tougher than anyone else, yea!
True, iknklast!
