When Donald J. Trump tweeted that White House attorney, Don McGahn, wouldn’t: “Rat him out like John Dean” or words to that effect, Trump was confessing that McGahn had some “Rat stuff” to hide about Donald Trump’s criminal behavior.
Lots and lots of people are asking: Since when is telling the truth an example of ratting someone out?
Many great scholars are saying that it sounds like mafia lingo. Positively, not very presidential. Would Abraham Lincoln have suggested someone was ratting him out?
History indicates that he should have at least been suspicious.
The whole world's also questioning how is it that this landlord from Queens suddenly knows about tariffs and boycotts, judicial appointments and defense spending? Sure, he probably guessed that he could deteriorate the justice department by dismissing one career officer after the next, but when did he discover that canceling security clearances would halt investigations into his Russian campaign conspiracy?
Isn't that the obstruction of justice?
Slammer time!
Then, the latest rumor popped up, (the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae) Trump threatened to halt the Mueller investigation by removing Mueller’s security clearance. Bingo!
So what's this landlord from Queens afraid of?
His actions seem too sophisticated for a landlord from Queens purported to have been a C-student, who never reads books, doesn’t know his history, thinks Frederick Douglas is still alive, can’t spell, uses juvenile nicknames, and speaks with repetitive gratuitous superlatives to run out the clock, in a failed attempt to appear deep.
Did son-in-law Kushner finally establish that direct line to the Kremlin, and is Vladimir Putin the one calling the shots, guiding Trump through all his threats and machinations? Putin accumulated a library of tactics heading the KGB. Maybe with that direct line established by The Kush, Putin is presently guiding Trump through the monkeying destruction of American democracy.
Similar to a bridge too far, Trump’s destructive actions are for an intelligence beyond his grasp.
So far, no American has been poisoned with an umbrella, gassed while sitting on a park bench, or nuked having tea at a hotel.
Yet.
