There have been numerous times since last November that I’ve thought, “I cannot believe Donald Trump is president of the United States.” Most of the time, I don’t think he can believe it either.During his entire presidency I’ve felt like a little kid whose parents left his teenage brother in charge. He thinks he knows what he’s doing, but he really has no idea what it means to be an adult. He doesn’t even know what he doesn’t know, and the little kids are just waiting for the real adults to return before something really bad happens.But my disbelief at this yahoo occupying the Oval Office has never been greater than when I heard that Donny Boy fired F.B.I. director James Comey.Are you serious? He fired the guy who’s in charge of the organization that’s leading the investigation into his administration’s ties to Russia? Can you imagine if one of the Clintons or Obamas did such a thing? Republican heads would explode!And as I read about Trump’s rationale for firing Comey—because he can’t just come out and say, “I’m feeling too much heat from Comey about my campaign’s ties to Russia so I really want to get rid of him so I can appoint my own guy in there and tell him to call off the dogs”—I literally laughed out loud and asked myself, out loud, “Is this guy serious?”In Trump’s alternate universe—you know the one, where legitimate news organizations are fake, and 3 million illegals voted in the last election—the director of the F.B.I. is held to a higher standard than the president of the United States. The F.B.I. director can’t get away with the same crap that the president does. Donny Boy and his know-nothing disciples and underlings think this. They have to. It’s the only way any of this makes sense.The support for Donny Boy’s decision to fire Comey came in the form of a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. (Now, I don’t know Rod Rosenstein at all, but when I saw that name I thought back to the video for the Beastie Boys song Sabotage. I guarantee that if there were a district attorney in that video his name would have been Rod Rosenstein!)Attorney General Jeff “I was OK with the KKK until I found out they smoke pot” Sessions wrote a letter in support of Rosenstein’s memorandum and recommendation that Donny Boy fire Comey. In his letter to Comey, Donny Boy stated that he accepts the recommendation of his Attorney General and his deputy, and that Comey is terminated, effective immediately.Rosenstein’s memorandum contained the following line, “The Director laid out his version of the facts for the news media as if it were a closing argument, but without a trial.”I especially like someone from Donny Boy’s administration using the line “his version of the facts.”Let me remind you that this is the administration that invented and popularized the term alternative facts. Donny Boy himself has claimed the following:--The crowd to watch his inauguration was the largest ever.--More than 3 million people voted illegally in the last election.--President Barack Obama wiretapped his offices in Trump Tower.Of course none of it is true, but it hasn’t stopped Donny Boy from laying out his version of the facts for everyone as if it were a closing argument, but without a trial.This man is a shyster, a sham, a scoundrel, a liar, a louse, a loser, an idiot, an imbecile, an ignoramus. He is wholly unqualified for any public office above dogcatcher.It won’t be long before he makes some outrageous, patently false claim about Comey, and then cries “fake news” when people smarter than him point out his lies.If you’re a Trumpist—one who apologizes for Trump, one who buys into his Make America Great Bullshit, one who thinks that we just need to give him a chance—then you probably think I’m an idiot. And that’s fine. I won’t tweet bad things about you at three in the morning.But ask yourself this: Why, after Acting Attorney General Sally Yates went to the White House to disclose the irrefutable fact that the National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had lied to the Vice President about his Russian contacts, and thus was susceptible to blackmail by a foreign power, did Donny Boy wait 18 days to fire Flynn?18 days. More than two weeks during which the National Security Advisor could have been blackmailed, and Donny Boy knew about it and didn’t fire him.At the conclusion of his memo, Rosenstein states, “the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has a Director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. Having refused to admit his errors, the Director cannot be expected to implement the necessary corrective actions.”The same should be said about Donny Boy.Wasn't that well-written and fun to read?
