Donald Trump has been stunned into silence
Donald Trump’s presidency and life are on fire tonight. There are new revelations that he stood in the Oval Office in early 2017 and told the Russians that he was fine with ongoing election interference, thus confirming his status as a Russian puppet. Throw in the Ukraine scandal, and the fact that two House Republicans have come out in favor of the House impeachment inquiry, and it’s clear that Trump’s time is short.
So what is Donald Trump doing to fight back tonight? Nothing. Aside from a process tweet and a video that were clearly posted by his staff, Trump hasn’t tweeted anything in about eleven hours. He isn’t bothering to defend himself. He isn’t bothering to attack the two House Republicans who broke rank. There’s no attempt at smearing his adversaries, or firing up his base.
Trump doesn’t even appear to be watching cable news, because if he were, he’d either be crowing about whatever his Fox News sycophants were saying his defense, or whining about anything he heard on TV that he didn’t like. We know how this guy operates. If he were awake right now and had his head in the game, he’d be running his mouth. Instead he’s either been passed out since lunchtime, or he’s simply too stunned at his impending downfall to be able to figure out how to say anything at all.
Interestingly, Donald Trump’s rabies-infected spirit animal, hasn’t bothered to tweet anything in about ten hours himself. It’s funny how they’ve both gone silent in unison, at a time when their futures are now flashing before them at high speed. You really have to wonder what’s going on tonight, because Trump and Rudy appear to have just checked out entirely.
