Trumpzi opinion summary - one mistep after another
"....Lies are the new truth, after all...."
An echo opinion letter published in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette
Dear Editor: It was an eventful week: Trump welcomed opposition intel from foreign governments, including Russia and China, to get himself get re-elected. Sarah Huckabee Sanders quit (couldn't she figure out how to lie her way out of this last pile of Oval Office offal?). The Federal Election Commission advised Trump that soliciting or accepting dirt from a foreign country on political opponents is a felony. Trump then claimed he would, of course, turn such intel over to "somebody" in the Justice Department, but not before "looking at it" (and benefiting from its contents--still a felony).
In the meantime, the Special Counsel's Office recommended firing Kellyanne Conway for using her office to electioneer for Republican candidates, which violates the Hatch Act. Trump refused to enforce the latter law, while advertising to all foreign takers that he's willing to break the former (Oh, wait, he's already been down that road--"Russia, if you're listening ...").
What to do? Well, a nice war would be just the thing to rally the base, silence all the critics and get re-elected. Unpatriotic to attack a "war president," don't you see? And if stepping up the pressure on Iran doesn't cause the ayatollahs to do something rash, one can always fabricate an incident (Gulf of Tonkin) or declare an imminent danger (weapons of mass destruction).

Lies are the new truth, after all--an alternate reality, crafted daily by our Supreme Leader. And real wars, like trade wars, are easy to win, right? Just need a catchy name. Operation Iranian Freedom, anyone?
