Understanding Trump: Trying To
WHENEVER THE FBI investigates Donald J. Trump, it is by definition a "witch hunt", according to Mr. Trump. When the Bureau declares the Russians guilty of interfering in the American election for the purpose of trying to assist Hillary Clinton getting elected, but says it can't be sure yet whether the Trump campaign conspired with them - its "fake news", according to Donald, or a dark conspiracy between the Democrat party and the left wing media, intended to discredit and destroy the president. And who knows more about diabolical plots and witch hunts than Donald J. Trump? Of course, to be honest, if I had been running against Hillary Clinton, and had spent months trailing her in the polls, I might find it tempting to look for some secret, outside help also.Trump spent several years telling anyone who would listen, including those evil purveyors of fake news, the mainstream American news media, that Barack Obama was not a native born american citizen, and was therefore ineligible to be president. Of course Trump, like everyone else, knew better. If ever there was a witch hunt, this was it, courtesy Donald Trump. Dark, sinister, evil, a deliberate fabrication based on nothing but hatred of Obama and racism. If Obama's father had been an Irish bloke who died young, nobody would have caredabout Obama's place of birth. But a black African father, that's another matter. So narcissistic is Trump that when he accuses others of inventing fake news and spreading lies, he is actually seeing himself, without knowing it. The idea here is not to argue about Russian spies. The idea is to see into Trump's character and personality. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the FBI and the democrats did indeed invent the whole Russian election interference story, and maybe Obama was actually born in Kenya. But how likely is it? Very, very....un. And if these sorts of sensational and dubious claims, which Trump makes seemingly every day, are merely his fabrications, what on earth does that say about the current leader of the free world?
