Trump's mental gymnastics are incomprehensible

[Demovictory9]

Only a man who is, like, really smart could perform mental gymnastics at the level President Trump has attained over the past few days.

On Saturday, Trump declared that the New York Times committed a “virtual act of Treason” by reporting on a U.S. cyber campaign against Russia.

Mere seconds later, he proclaimed that the supposedly treasonous report was “ALSO, NOT TRUE!”

Thus, in Trump’s telling, did the journalists commit the capital offense of .?.?. divulging false state secrets?

During his interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, meanwhile, Trump denied that internal Trump campaign polling showed him trailing: “Those polls don’t exist.”

Trump then fired his campaign pollsters for leaking .?.?. the supposedly nonexistent polls. (This was similar to Trump calling Bob Woodward a writer of “fiction” while simultaneously venting at his aides for “leaking” this supposed fiction to Woodward.)

2. I can't believe how far down the rabbit hole we've gone in the last couple of years

3. Technically, it's quite possible to commit treason by divulging false information.

Just because the information turns out to be false may not have much bearing on divulging it being treason.

In fact, counter-intelligence operations deliberately place false information in the hands of suspected spies in order to flush them out.


Not that Donald fraud is thinking of anything along those lines. He just makes up lies and knows that he can get away with it if he says them without a hint of shame or doubt.

4. He's playing to groups of people who pick whichever of his statements they like best

They'll slowly bleed away if they pay attention, or feel far enough out of the mainstream, but that requires some work on our part

5. "Trump's mental gymnastics are incomprehensible"

...that's because el trumpo is not only physically out of shape but mentally out of shape as well...

...he needs to consider working out more with crayons and coloring books in the Oval Orifice instead of the White House gym...

...at his age, you either use or lose it...

...fading fast...

6. Trump is CORRUPT and morally BANKRUPT. Every Democrat needs to sing this from the rafters in

CONCERT. I see Hakeem Jefferies leading this choir. I HEAR HIM in my head saying...

Trump is CORRUPT, and morally BANKRUPT.
