Day 44: This is the beginning of the end for Trump — and he knows it
Donald Tweet trumped — err Donald Trump tweeted seven times this morning. They indicate that he knows his time is up in the Oval Office.
We’ll set aside the tweets about Barack Obama meeting with a Russian ambassador because, you know, that was his job. This is vastly different than Jeff Sessions’ meetings with the Russian ambassador for potentially nefarious purposes before lying to Congress about it.
Let’s also just laugh at the tweet below, which adding at the end of a tweetstorm about serious issues just shows the petulance of the child.
The real issue is this: Trump knows he’s done.
Let’s clarify a couple of things.
- Obama never had wiretapping privileges or capabilities.
2. If there was a wiretap placed by the FBI, a judge signed off for a very good reason.
3. Trump referring to an election as “very sacred” is laughable.
4. This is a Nixon/Watergate moment, but Trump — not Obama — is Nixon.
Let’s connect the dots between Trump’s allegations and the reality of the situation by believing Trump that his phones have been tapped.
Trump panic-Tweeted around 6:15 this morning from Mar-a-Lago. Undoubtedly alone, he had no one there to filter him or explain to him the illogicality of his tweets or what he would tacitly be admitting.
Trump is a man who struggles to remember many things he has said, but is clearly concerned about what he said on the phone and who he said it to. This would seem to indicate there wasn’t a random comment, but rather troves of information exchanged between Trump and people he wasn’t supposed to be communicating with.
The problem for Trump is that he has picked a fight with the intelligence community, literally the only group of people that could single-handedly take him down. It’s only a matter of time before the information he’s terrified about being exposed comes out. That’s the primary reason he’s been so aggressively trying to plug every leak (however unsuccessfully).
He’s trying to fight back in 140-character missives before the information is published, but the group or groups that have tapped his phone have much bigger information artillery.
In the previous 43 days, we haven’t uttered the i-word.
But it certainly seems like impeachment is an inevitability today, even with a GOP-controlled Congress.
Trump’s temperament has continually showed he’s unfit to serve as president. But now, potentially treasonous activities should leave Trump far more concerned about things beyond squeezing out 1,418 more days in the White House.
44 days in, 1418 to go
