Oh, No He Did Not. Oh, Yes He Did.

After wisely keeping his mouth shut about the Stormy Daniels' debacle for months, Donald Trump breaks that silence -- not once but twice -- and puts his foot in his mouth up to the hip bone.

His story has always been, "didn't know her, certainly didn't fuck her, barely know Michael Cohen, he doesn't speak for me, he's not my attorney."

Really....

First, he's on Air Force One when a reporter says, "Mr. President, did you know about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels?" His answer? Yes, he actually answered. No, he didn't know about the payment. Yes, Michael Cohen was his attorney...

Jaw drop!

 Then, in one of those stellar moments where his ass is chapped and his ego's been kicked in the nuts, he calls Fox & Friends to burble off at the mouth and have a tirade about this, that, and the other thing, when -- without prompting, without a question asked by the hosts -- goes off on the unfairness of how Michael Cohen is getting at the hands of the "fake news media". And we get...

“Michael would represent me, and represent me on some things. He represents me, like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me,” Trump said. “And you know from what I see, he did absolutely nothing wrong.”

<sigh>

Okay. Which is it? He knows or he doesn't know. He paid or he didn't pay. Cohen is his lawyer or he isn't. Cohen had Trump's permission or he didn't. He's the lawyer or he's not.  PICK A STORY AND STICK TO IT.

I honestly haven't see anyone shoot themselves in the foot like Trump. He's bound and determined to do what he wants, when he wants, even against the advice of those with cooler heads and a finger on the pulse of a nation. One moment, I think that, maybe, he's sincere about wanting to be a good president and just goes about it the wrong way. The next minute, I think he's bound and determined to get himself impeached because he never wanted to do this job to begin with.

Most of the time, I just think he's drawing the line in the sand to see what anyone is going to do about it. And I keep thinking that someone, somewhere, in Congress is going to grow a set of balls and take him up on his dare. And start that impeachment process.

Please, Mr. Mueller...light a fire under this and get it done asap. Give them the ammo so we can get this dumbass out of the White House because this place goes up in flames. I'm too young to die.
