When you want a good laugh, always look to the staunchest of Trump defenders who laughably claim his foolhardiness is the work of a devious genius who always sees the moves ahead before doing something.
I say it’s laughable because Trump is an impetuous person who never thinks before he says something. It’s the reason he gets caught telling lies. He cannot help himself and just makes stuff up as he’s speaking. He never stops to consider his words or the ramifications they have. He just goes with the flow and doesn’t care about the consequences. What’s worse is he has a bunch of toadies willing to accept his word and look for ways to prove he’s “right.” Every ridiculous political move, every moment he trips himself up and his fawning supporters greet every lie as a genius move designed to trip up his political opponents.
But that changed when James Comey testified to the meetings and conversations he had with Donald Trump between January and April. There is a single person who can defend Trump’s behavior on the merits. The FBI is an independent law enforcement agency within the government. There is a chain of command of course, but their mission is one that is completely above politics. The image of the President of The United States wining and dining the Director of The FBI like he’s pining for the affections of a woman is completely inappropriate. And that’s before Trump said he expected Comey to be loyal to him.
But ho and behold, when it came time to explain this snafu away, Trump defenders took a different tack. Instead of Trump the genius who could defeat the political equivalent of Gary Kasparov with his super-duper chess moves, they retreated into saying Trump just isn’t up on all this DC protocol.
“He’s not a politician! How was he supposed to know that meeting like that with Comey wasn’t kosher?”
……
Donald Trump is the one who said the job of being President is easy, but that “losers” were in control. He said he’d be ready on day one to run the country. That people are excusing his behavior five months into his presidency is embarrassing. If Trump had even the slightest curiosity on how to conduct himself as president, he’d have brought in people to teach him these protocols. Instead, he brushes off advice and flies by the seat of his pants, and the people blame the media for his poll numbers being in the toilet.
People cannot have it both ways. They need to decide which Donald Trump is president. The genius or the doofus.
