I often imagine Trump under a bright light and getting the “third degree”.

INQUISITOR: On such and such a date, you boasted that you had “won the women’s vote”. That is demonstrably not true. Were you intentionally lying, or were you simply mistaken, and in the case of the latter, do you wish now to correct the record?”

Or..

INQUISITOR: On such and such a date, you tweeted that you had a 55% approval rating. That was actually the disapproval number from to poll cited. Were you intentionally lying, or were you simply mistaken, and in the case of the latter, do you wish now to correct the record?”

Or...

INQUISITOR: On such and such a date, you stood on Air Force One and told the American people, through a reporter, that you had no knowledge of payments to Stormy Daniels. We now know that was false. Do you wish now to correct the record?”

And so on, starting with the most egregious first. Ideally before the House or Senate in open session.

If only...

Gerard Araud's, France's retiring Ambassador to the U.S., on comparing Obama to Trump:

On one side, you had this ultimate bureaucrat, an introvert, basically a bit aloof, a restrained president,” Araud told Foreign Policy. “A bit arrogant also but basically somebody who every night was going to bed with 60-page briefings and the next day they were sent back annotated by the president. And suddenly you have this president who is an extrovert, really a big mouth, who reads basically nothing or nearly nothing, with the interagency process totally broken and decisions taken from the hip basically.

On the WH turnovers:

"A lot of offices are still empty,” Araud told Foreign Policy. “It’s amazing—after 55 months, a lot of people are changing overnight. It’s the fourth G-7 [emissary] we’ve had in the White House in two years! So the first problem is we have nobody in the offices or if they are there, they’re going to leave. But on top of that, even if you have somebody in the offices, they don’t know what the president is going to say. And if the president has said something, they don’t know what he means.”

Dear republican voters, you've made the village idiot president. Are you proud now :p?

I’ve met more than a couple who really are proud. What they value in a President is most likely not what you value in a president.

A couple of weeks ago, I met someone who was absolutely convinced that in the past 12 months hundreds of terrorists tried to enter the United States by walking across the Mexican border. I’m not sure how many he believes succeeded, but it is clear that he is absolutely convinced that Donald Trump is the right man for the job. The only man for the job. Things like Tim Apple and the president of the US Virgin Islands aren’t even worth mentioning as far as he is concerned.

In January Chris Wallace called out Huckabee Sanders for implying that terrorists were trying to get in from the southern border. From The Hill

“We know that, roughly, nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is at our southern border,” she said, before Wallace cut her off.

“Do you know where those 4,000 people come, where they are captured?” Wallace responded. “Airports … the state department says there hasn’t been any terrorists found coming across the southern border.”

The 4,000 figure was highly suspect anyway, as I believe they were "aliens of interests" in some cases prevented from entering the U.S. It gets confusing because confusion was the point all along.

Donald Trump supporters have a lot in common with people that think Bjork has talent.

Apparently the Whitehouse Press Secretary said he met with "countless presidents of the US Virgin Islands", which she later clarified as "a large number".
