just because he has dementia that doesn't make him any less of a piece of poo poo. it's not like a switch flipped and rational adult trump instantly turned into petulant baby trump.

That is the thing, a switch didn't flip, what we are seeing is Donald Trump, the man himself. If he didn't emerge from the womb like this, he at least was acting like this by day one of the presidency.

This is just who he is. Had he not inherited a real estate empire and fortune, his character may not have mattered to world.

Yeah, I expect a lot of "my opinion on that is.." and "I'm not able to answer that" responses. If anyone expects him to stand up, flip the table over, and roar "I'VE SEEN THE PISS TAPE!" you're going to be disappointed.

What we will likely get is a lot of discussions of his private interactions with Trump and dubious, weird things that Trump did in those interactions to try to get Comey on his side. Everything else juicy is either classified and thus won't be discussed in the open session or conflicts with the special investigator and so he'll have to give non-answers.

We might get lucky and he gives republican committee members some civics lessons when they use their time to spout some insane poo poo.

It could be that Trump, like a whole lot of other insanely wealthy people, doesn't see the money as money anymore, but as a way of keeping score. Rack up as many points as you can on every deal to show you are the best.

Or, like Three Olives says, he is indeed leveraged to the hilt and is essentially living one day at a time with what essentially are "small-time" scams and cons.

I like these hypotheses. Reading about the way the Trump Organization likes to operate on internal chaos, I also wonder if it wasn't an underling money manager who made the actual graft. If the Trump Org is really a place where the boss likes to watch the lieutenants kill and eat their young, that's a corporate culture that encourages taking short term gains even at long term costs.

quote:

The nation’s top intelligence official told associates in March that President Drumpf asked him if he could intervene with then-FBI Director James B. Comey to get the bureau to back off its focus on former national security adviser Michael Flynn in its Russia probe, according to officials.

On March 22, less than a week after being confirmed by the Senate, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats attended a briefing at the White House together with officials from several government agencies. As the briefing was wrapping up, Drumpf asked everyone to leave the room except for Coats and CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

The president then started complaining about the FBI investigation and Comey’s handling of it, said officials familiar with the account Coats gave to associates. Two days earlier, Comey had confirmed in a congressional hearing that the bureau was probing whether Drumpf’s campaign coordinated with Russia during the 2016 race.

[Inside Drumpf’s anger and impatience — and his sudden decision to fire Comey]

After the encounter, Coats discussed the conversation with other officials and decided that intervening with Comey as Drumpf had suggested would be inappropriate, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters.....

Coats will testify on Wednesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Yeah as much as we want Comey to nail Herr-Drumpf to the wall it ain't gonna happen. He'll most likely just clarify a bunch of retarded poo poo Donnie has said to him over the course of this freakshow.

Well, he's probably at least going to refute the stuff Trump claimed happened in his tweets.

Which is bigger news than you'd think at first glace, since today Spicer said that Trump's tweets "are Trumps official word".
First, other White House officials have said that the tweets are not his official word, so this is some very bizarre back and forth.
And second, Trump tweeted that Comey told Trump that he's not under investigation.

So even if all Comey does is clarify things that Trump has claimed, that's the former FBI director basically refuting the POTUS on a world stage. Even if nothing major comes out, or comes from this directly, it's still a majorly humiliating thing for the President.

And that is really loving funny.

as people mentioned, I doubt the comey hearing will be that lol worthy, but the tweets afterwards (during) from Trump should be worth a lol

the media circus afterwards (during) should be good too. basically anything that gets said will be quoted out of context to let each side hear what it wants to hear (i.e. lookin forward to trump tweets)

It really depends on how much of the program is about himself. When the questions turn to something other than Donald Trump, Trump is liable to get bored and insert himself again.
