Must be the same people who congratulated him on getting rid of Comey–many from the FBI according to the Huckabee woman.

The White House is now an empty echo chamber filled with Trump clapping for himself.

“First of all, that’s very insubordinate, why wouldn’t he go to his immediate – he went to Congress or he went to Schiff or he went to somebody,” Trump said.

Vindman went to report his concerns to John Eisenberg, the top lawyer at the National Security Council and Deputy Counsel to the President for National Security Affairs. Eisenberg was appointed by someone Trump might recognize, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Shortly after that,Trump’s conversation with Zelensky was moved to the super-secret server.

But, let’s lie and make it look somehow nefarious by saying he went to Schiff.

So now we have to worry about his auditory hallucinations? As if we didn’t have enough to be concerned about.

Did the tRump people go out and hire “Rent A Crowd” people like they did the first time he went and spoke at the FBI when he slithered into the WH. Like they do everytime he has one of his KKK rallies?

I’m willing to hold out for it. Much sooner rather than later, though…

It’s getting difficult to keep up with the nuttiness coming from the Oval Office…at this rate Trump will be saying so many crazy things each hour that it’s impossible to report on all of it.

He is, of course, lying…I keep waiting for some kind of refutation of Trump’s insanity from someone who works in the WH, a mass exodus, anything, but I guess they are just fine with this. I’m sure it’s the same crowd that couldn’t handle the president wearing a tan suit, that kind of misbehavior is just too far out of line of course.

He really is going downhill fast. He fires the number one target on his revenge tour and every day since he is compelled to make up another lie to denigrate him further. He can’t leave it alone because his mental illness won’t permit it. It’s like OCD only instead of orderliness or germs the subject is revenge and hate.

If you suggest that the conversation that was moved to the secret server is different than the transcript that was released by the WH you will be corrected by a couple TPM members. I was, anyway.

Both were PERFECT, that’s all I know.
