That would be Emmy-worthy. In and of itself a reason Trump would do it.

Hopefully he’d get very agitated and falls over into the fire.

  1. It’s not a transcript.
  2. It contains direct evidence of your crimes. It’d be like a confession (again) , so please do.
  3. Everyone knows what’s in it already. The idea that they don’t seems to be some weird outgrowth of the “Schiff was a meanie and paraphrased my phone call” insanity.
  4. Fuck you.

Why not? Let’s make it a weekly show.

Perhaps in Episode 2 he could read his tax returns.

IMO, this is a great idea… especially if we can get commentary by Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, and Gypsy

Million bucks says he leaves out the “though”.

He wants to get back on the teevee, to force coverage of an event that he thinks he can control, so that he can brag about how his fireside sh*"! show beat the Democratic debate’s loser ratings. He is so jealous of any WH spokesperson or member of the Administration that getd on TV more often than he does, that he killed the daily briefings and puts himself out there on the lawn to babble without a filter.

At some point, the world will move on and he whatever reality show he launches will fail as even his supporters will tire of watching a 74-year-old puttering around on his own golf course, shaking hands and getting breakfast from what some might say is the most amazing beautiful buffet the world had ever seen.
