Donald Trump Calls Himself a Fool


Flip-flopper Trump is now for something he was against.  Insider reported:

Former President Donald Trump said last week it was a mistake for Republicans to not be more involved in the committee investigating January 6.

"Unfortunately, a bad decision was made," Trump said in an interview with conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root, adding it "was a bad decision not to have representation on that committee. That was a very, very foolish decision."

Trump rejected the idea of the bipartisan commission at the time, calling it a "Democrat trap."

Democrats agreed to nearly all of the Republicans' requests, including that the panel members be divided evenly between both parties and that decisions on who to subpoena would be unanimous.

Trump. as leader of the Red Team, effectively made that bad decision for his party.  I don't pity the fool.

Update 6-29-22:  The public learned why Trump needs defending from members of his team telling the truth under oath.  Trump knew his followers had weapons before his incendiary speech.  He effectively led the Capital insurrection and a fraudulent effort to replace state electors.  Under Trump the Red Team became a criminal enterprise.

Update 8-24-22:  Trump stubbed his ethical toe yet again regarding the hundreds of confidential and top secret documents he spirited away to Mara Lago.  

"... the argument from Trump that the documents are subject to executive privilege protections suggests those documents are official records – which he is not authorized to keep and should have turned over to the National Archives at the end of the administration."

Doh!  Trump's inner circle knew their boss was skating on thin ice.

Update 8-27-22:   Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Trump is a bad boss.

"The president was bellowing at a number of his Cabinet secretaries and especially the military guys, the DoD secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and calling all of us f-cking losers at the top of his lungs," Barr said.

"One would think that an executive would have a better idea how to operate with people and manage people, and he's a poor manager of people."
