Bullshit. He’s a Professional Crisis Actor, has been since he was a kid.

And Ken Burns is a Democrat…

So this is all part of the plot to take down Trump.

More Vindmans out there.
Lots more.

Crooks have organization…to be sure. But so does a 200+ year old bureaucracy.

One I have spent about 40 years researching.

Earlier today trump said he thought all of the testimony should not be public. a short while ago out on the lawn he said he was not concerned at all cuz there’s been nothing incriminating in any of the testimony. That’s a head scratcher right there.

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.” :crazy_face:

For Trump, reality is whatever he thinks it is in this moment. It doesn’t matter what he said yesterday or two hours ago or five minutes ago. If he thinks that the opposite is true now, then the opposite must be true now. For all intents and purposes, he never said the things he said that disagree with what he says now.

That seems to be how his brain “works” and he is much more understandable if you adopt that frame of reference when considering his public spewing.

Hillary murdered Ken Burns? All the more devious since everyone, Ken included, thinks he’s still alive?

Oh, Dear Lord… Hillary had Ken Burns go back to get one of his old child actors, Vindman, who was now conveniently in a role where he could make up dirt on Trump.

It’s perfectly obvious, don’t know why everyone doesn’t immediately see what is happening.
