Donald Trump is managing to have an even worse day than the last one
This Friday went so overwhelmingly poorly for Donald Trump, we felt compelled to bring our “day from hell” headline out of retirement just to get our point across. In a sign that things are now moving southward for Trump at a rapidly accelerating pace, he’s now gone on to have an even worse day over the past twenty-four hours. Is such a thing even possible? Well, yes.
The day started with Donald Trump’s attack on LeBron James blowing up in his face, as Michael Jordan – who almost never makes political statements of any kind – publicly took LeBron’s side. Then, just to rub it in, Melania Trump took LeBron’s side as well. Trump tried taking Hope Hicks on Air Force One with him, but whatever his goal was, it probably didn’t include getting caught in felony witness tampering. But the day was just getting started.
Former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg, a witness in Robert Mueller’s grand jury against Roger Stone, went on television and stated his expectation that Stone will be indicted on everything from conspiracy against the United States to unrelated corruption crimes. In response, Stone went on Instagram and began ranting about the size of Nunberg’s anatomy. Even as this embarrassment was playing out, Mueller scored a court victory which not only compelled a key witness to testify against Stone, but also set a legal precedent with regard to Mueller’s prosecutorial authority against Donald Trump.
Somewhere in there Donald Trump gave a political speech about Flamenco dancers which he referred to as “Flamingo dancers,” and the Appalachian Trail, which he referred to as the “Tallahassee Trail.” Then on Twitter, Trump managed to misspell a three letter word. It was as if what was left of his brain simply decided to give up and save its energy for prison. Keep in mind that this is the same guy who, just hours earlier, had questioned LeBron James’ intelligence.
