In a series of tweets on Saturday, President Trump railed against special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe in typical “witch hunt” fashion, re-upping calls for an investigation into how it started and admitting he hadn’t yet read the report, “even though I have every right to do so.”

    *I think that the above is going to be my standard response going forward for anything Trump (or Sanders).

  2. " …and admitting he hadn’t yet read the report, “even though I have every right to do so.”

    I believe the verb is “claiming,” not admitting. There’s no reason to treat anything that comes outta Hair Furor’s mouth as accurate. Doing so just helps him to peddle a narrative.

    No human in modern history has been as tireless as Trump at squandering the benefit of a doubt.

  5. Poor fella is obsessed. Have we ever had a president so juvenile? Our grandson isn’t as whiny as this, and he’s thirteen.
