so he'll do it a few more times ... and a few more .... and a ...

Isn't there a definition of insanity that says it is "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."?

is the "greatest". I'm surprised it wasn't the "greatest the world has ever seen".

How could he “know” what everybody believes?

Is he too delusional to understand how pathetic his excuses sound?

And, who gives a rat’s ass what Russia laughs at? Not me, you despicable traitor.

If there were no collusion, and he knew it, he'd welcome the investigation. This is sounding more and more like obstruction of justice.

to belabor the woefully obvious --
uh... we had actual witch hunts in the colonies that later became this country. they are typically considered to be part of American history.
for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials
"The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, fourteen of them women, and all but one by hanging. Five others (including two infant children) died in prison."
so no, Donald, your "single greatest Witch Hunt" is NOT the greatest in American history.
