How low can he go

It would seem the answer to the above is there is no bottom to the pit the President is willing to dig.  Now it seems his own government is ready to call B.S. on his contention President Obama ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower in the runup to the election.  The claim was denied by any number of present and former officials on the Sunday shows.  FBI director James Comey, who is apparently feeling a little buyer's remorse, called on the DOJ to deny this ever happened.    If one is willing to at least grant Cheeto Jesus credit for a certain low animal cunning, this latest Tweet Storm can be seen as an effort to deflect attention from Jeff Sessions recusal from any investigation regarding Russian meddling in the election.  However, a less nuanced but more realistic view of the entire affair is that we have an emotional two year old in charge.  Having seen my 2 year old granddaughter melt down because her dad presented her with a cupcake the wrong way at a family dinner last night, reports of Trump screaming at aides because they are unable to extricate him from his own mistakes make a kind of perverse but apt comparison.  I'm thinking a countdown calendar to the 2020 elections would be an absolute hit right about now.
