What to say

If this was a recording, I would be speechless.  Living in the first term of a Trump presidency can have that effect on anyone who expects the chief executive of the nation to at least pretend to be a grownup.  After his pick to be leader of the National Security Council was indicted for lying to the FBI by the special counsel investigating tRump's campaign's ties to Russia, all he could do was relentlessly attack the agency all weekend.   As one commentator pointed out the press and law enforcement agencies, in the absence of congressional oversight, represent the only check on  the president's power.  This inability to suborn the free press and the law drives Orange Narcissus crazy.  I wonder how long he will be able to resist the urge to use the substantial powers he controls to actually damage his remaining adversaries.
