Step 1 - Begin the answer with a lie.
Step 2 - Continue to lie.
It’s the Trump 2-step.
How about Mueller? Robert Mueller. Heard of him?
Given Schiff’s relentless pursuit of camera time (second only to Eric Swalwell – and at least Schiff is the committee chair, and not just a backbencher like Swalwell), Trump would have been better off criticizing Schiff’s grandstanding, rather than trying to pretend he’d never heard of him.
The thing you don’t understand, Two Scoops, is that serious people don’t care if you disparage them. They have a sense of self-worth that considers the source. You’re the one who can’t deal with criticism. I know it’s futile to try to explain this, but that’s how life actually is. You have one chance: Make a deal and resign. One chance.
Schiff: “Never heard of me, huh? That’ll change soon enough.”
“Adam Schitt? Never heard of him.”
Step 3 - Forget you told the lie and contradict yourself.
Maybe when many people are questioning the health of your very big, very good brain, saying you’ve never heard of a House committee chair isn’t the strongest (or most powerful) card to play.
Soft (or sad) memory. Not good!
Exactly. He had that famous tweet in which he referred to Chairman Schiff as “Schitt.”
So much for the bestest memory in the history of the world. Sad.
he has never heard of House Intel Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA)
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAA!
Everyone who believes this throw a buck on the floor.
And then, Panic set in…
Trumps prefers getting overlooked to getting oversight, at least by congressional committees.
Trump is going to need a bigger boat.
Give Trump some slack. The number of things he’s never heard of is legion. Just because he tweeted disparagingly about him before doesn’t mean he’s ever heard of him. Someone else might have sent the tweet for him while he was comatose.
Bend over and spread em Donnie Your worst nightmare has arrived
Your whole crime family is going to get locked up
Bizarro world that two scoops conjures continues.
Trump has previously given Schiff the nickname “little Adam Schitt,” a sure sign that the President does, in fact, know the man who could significantly escalate the Russia investigation.
I love the understated elegance of this sentence.

The country had better get ready for a rough ride ahead. Trump is scared, and he has no maturity nor emotional composure to deal with the threats now headed his way. He is likely going to start acting and speaking even more erratically than ever.
