1. Dear God. I can't believe how many of Trump's staff is/was full tilt crazy.

Do you think they know and are too scared to stop digging the deep holes they're already in? Do you think The Donald has contracts or their relatives in closets somewhere? I cannot imagine they really believe the insane bullshit they are still...STILL spouting!

trump is a one-trick pony. he's all about his own celebrity, and he keeps that going by making outrageous statements.

that's really all he's got.

he surrounds himself with sycophants, so what would anyone expect them to do but make more outrageous statements and support trump's own outrageous statements.

it's the sum total of their political knowledge.

6. Yeah, I eternally overestimate them. Trump wouldn't dare have anyone more capable than he is.

..... Remember few years back

"Obama released his long-form birth certificate in April 2011 after speculation from Trump and others that he might have been born elsewhere. "

Then Don answering a few questions in 2015 .......

" Meanwhile, Trump signaled that his beef with the GOP establishment is far from over.

In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night, he speculated that Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus might have leaked details of their call to The Washington Post.

“I just don’t know how the story got out. Nobody called us for verification, and honestly, I can’t blame him, unless he gave out the story, which is possible. Probably, he did,” Trump said. "

Wanted to add ..... sure don you had no idea how story got out ..........

I hope the media does not back off from questioning Don ......... he cannot get away with anything .

I can't believe there hasn't been more criticism, especially from other media entities. Other than the initial brouhaha, I haven't seen much else.

Whenever I see clips, they end up talking over each other. As in this case, the right winger starts. They can't sit still and even hear something they don't like.
