Responding to Michael Cohen’s sentencing hearing on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace asked a simple question of Trump biographer Tim O’Brien: “Does it look to you like Donald Trump knows that he’s ‘bleeped’?”
“Oh, I think it definitely looks like he knows he’s ‘bleeped,'” O’Brien, who wrote the 2005 book “TrumpNation,” said. “And he’s cornered. And he’s spent a year and a half pointing at the Mueller investigation on a routine basis, nonstop, as a being witch hunt. And any time he starts tweeting at the investigation, or tweeting at the investigators, it’s usually when there’s a big shoe about to drop.”

I don’t think so, slow learner, if anything Trump thinks he is winning.
TRUMP doesn’t KNOW the MEANING of the worD “BLEEPED”. He’s alpha and will be GIVING US a great BIG long waLL that will HAVE SIGNIFicant GIRTH to dissuade aliens from CROSSIng illegally. HE’s no wuss. HE’s a winner. AND WINNERS win. LOSERS, like Cohen, are BAD LAWYERS and FLIPPERS.
I question anything that starts with "[The president] knows… "
It was hilarious watching him yesterday in the meeting with Schumer and Pelosi. He’s still genuinely shocked to discover that he’s not the absolute monarch of his own organization any longer. Beyond repeatedly delivering his ultimatums, he doesn’t have a clue about what to do next.
But I’m sure he is, in fact, convinced that he’s winning, simply because he’s Trump, and Trump never loses. He is actively reconstructing reality in his own mind to accommodate that narrative.
Reminds me of Michael Flynn. Despite talk of his “distinguished career,” his subordinates used to refer to some things as “Flynn Facts,” i.e., things that were manifestly not true, but that formed the basis of Flynn’'s decision-making.
IT was so choice when he kept saying he could hold the vote right now and win and Nancy kept saying: then hold the vote. You don’t have it, Mr. President. hahahahahahaha
