Hello — truth
teller par excellence
(But, only this once)
Trump
wrapped up his swing through New York City and he stopped by the luxury restaurant Cipriani to deliver remarks at a high-roller breakfast
fundraiser. Fresh off meetings at the United Nations, Trump couldn’t take
his mind off a certain anonymous whistleblower whose recently declassified
complaint has threatened
to blow up his administration (from the Daily Beast article in
part).
According to
an attendee at the breakfast, Trump brandished a printed copy of the memo of
his now-infamous Ukraine phone call, flaunting it as he blasted Democratic lawmakers for being
mean to him. After waving the document around and receiving cheers from the
gathering of Republican donors and supporters, the president boasted about how
much money — $13 million in 24 hours — he had raised for his reelection effort,
the attendee noted.
It was yet another illustration of how Trump’s big
week in New York has been overshadowed and bedeviled by revelations that he and
his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani had urged Ukrainian officials to
investigate the son of Joe Biden, the former vice president who remains likely
to be Trump’s 2020 election opponent.
Over the
past few days, the president has helped raise millions for the 2020 fight and
has been lavished with praise by world leaders.
Through it
all he’s remained obsessed over the scandal unfolding back in Washington as the
DEM-run House inched closer to full impeachment proceedings.
Through it
all, Trump’s demeanor and approach to the rapidly unfolding scandal has
vacillated between spoiling for a fight and hoping for a détente. Often, it
depended on who he was talking to or what setting he found himself in.
According
to those in attendance at his breakfast fundraiser, he was upbeat and fired up,
telling donors that he and his political team were ready to punch back hard.
In private, however, there was genuine consternation
regarding how a brutal impeachment process would affect his legacy and his
White House, with much
of his staff sharing those same anxieties.
Those close to Trump say
the president never expected House Speaker Pelosi to back any major impeachment
moves — at least not until this week.
Trump took
to Twitter as usual to accuse liberals of deliberately ruining and degrading
his “important day” at the UN. And according to a LA Times report, Trump also used his time at a private event for
U.S. officials at the Intercontinental Hotel in New York on today to rage about
the whistleblower and whoever supplied that individual with information.
Trump told them: “I want to know who this the person is — who is the person who gave the whistleblower the information? Because that’s close to a spy. You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason — we used to handle it a little differently than we do now.”

My 2 cents: Yep, firing squad right Mr. Prez
Moron? That's the ticket – guilty until proven innocent.
Just like simple old
Wild West Judge Roy Bean Saloon Justice: “Bring guilty bastard in, give him
a fair trial and then hang him.”

This all sounds like Trump all over again shades
2016 strategy, with one caveat however: I bet Trump is worried sick.
BTW: Trump, like most GOPers can’t stand
the truth or facts of this sad saga in American history that will surely put
him in history books then he can brag from his seat in Hell – “I’m the hottest president ever, believe me.”
We do, Mr. Trump, surely we do believe that.
Thanks for stopping by.
