We’re barely three days into the Trump regime and the popular vote loser is exceeding every low expectation people had for him … and then some. And in case you missed it, here are just a few of the eye-roll inducing moments from Sunday:
Shortly after being sworn in as Trump’s national security adviser, it was reported that Michael Flynn:
… is the first person inside the White House under Mr. Trump whose communications are known to have faced scrutiny as part of investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency and Treasury Department to determine the extent of Russian government contacts with people close to Mr. Trump.
It was announced that:
The first of what’s likely to be a slew of lawsuits over Donald Trump’s massive conflicts of interest between his job as president and his lifelong first priority of personal profit will be filed on Monday.
It was revealed that Trump’s Carnage in America inauguration speech—that, by the way, he previously claimed to have been writing himself—was co-written by a White Nationalist:
A White House official told the Journal that Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon and senior advisor Stephen Miller penned the address.
Trump’s mouthpiece admitted that Trump had been lying from the start and has no intention of ever releasing his tax returns, (alleged) IRS audit or not, because “We litigated this all through the election. People didn't care.” And as a bonus, offered a new definition in defense of the blatant lies White House spokesman Sean Spicer peddled during a Saturday press conference:
Don't be so overly dramatic about it, Chuck [Todd]," Conway replied. "You're saying it's a falsehood, and they're giving Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that.
And from the orange buffoon himself? Trump, still not over losing the popular vote by millions, reacted to Saturday’s massive protest against his anti-people polices on—where else?—twitter:
… no doubt while angrily stroking the nuclear codes.
Welcome to Monday.
