When the history books are written years from now, we may well look back and see this second week of May as the beginning of the end for the illegitimate head of state who currently resides in the White House.
First Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Then he put forth the talking point that he had relieved Comey of his duties because of a letter written by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. And then on Thursday the alleged president told NBC’s Lester Holt that he had decided to let the FBI Director go long before the Rosenstein letter.
Today we have Trump threatening Comey via Twitter and continuing to say that on three separate occasions he asked Comey if he was under investigation for connections to Russia. Asking that question alone is obstruction of justice, which is one of several charges which Richard Nixon was accused of before he resigned in disgrace.
Clearly, Trump is completely out of control, as was mentioned Friday morning on CNN, when Real Clear Politics editor A.B. Stoddard said she was shocked by how badly Trump had botched the removal of Comey and its aftermath. There is no one in the White House who can control Trump or keep him in check, Stoddard maintained:
“This becomes a firestorm of whether or not Trump is tampering with an investigation and obstruction of justice and risking impeachment. This is all illustrative of the fact that no one can stop President Trump. No one can say pause for 36 hours, let’s think about the consequences of running your mouth to Lester Holt, or tweeting Rosie O’Donnell on the same day. No one can stop this.”
Stoddard then added that even Ivanka Trump has lost the ability to rein in the so-called president:
“No one can talk sense into him. Not Vice President Pence. Not Reince Priebus. Not Steve Bannon. Not the kids. Nobody.”
The second week of May. Mark it on your calendar, along with this message: Final Chapter of Trump Began.
