Donald Trump tips off that he knows another huge Trump-Russia bombshell is coming
He did it just before the bombshell surfaced that his son colluded with Russia. He did it just before the bombshell surfaced that the Special Counsel was sending out Trump-Russia grand jury subpoenas. Now he’s doing it again. Donald Trump has begun the day by attempting to create the most controversial series of distractions he can think of, which suggests that he knows yet another huge bombshell is about to land.
Shortly before a newspaper publishes such a story, it typically asks all parties involved for advance comment. This is how Donald Trump and his team tend to know when these bombshells are about to to be posted. And while Trump begins many days by tweeting controversial things, the level and volume of toxic garbage he tweeted this morning was flagrantly off the charts, even for him.
First Trump began by randomly attacking the New York Times, which suggests it may be the one with the bombshell story: “The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!” Later he began attacking every news outlet he could think of, perhaps trying to cover his tracks: “Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger!” Somewhere in there he decided approval rating polls are all now fake: “The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling)” – but he was just getting started.
Trump then launched into a scathing and dishonest attack on Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, in an attempt at making sure that today’s headlines are dominated by the garbage he spewed about the Senator. Then he made an announcement that he’ll soon be visiting New York, after having spent the past six months avoiding his hometown like the plague. These all make for minor headlines of their own, and he seems to be wagering that combined, they might distract from whatever Trump-Russia bombshell he seems to think is going to drop tonight or tomorrow.
