Thank you, Trump, for creating your own problems. That is ****ing hilarious.

Trump created this “tapes” thing, which Comey testified sparked him to leak memos to press, which got Mueller. What a self-inflicted wound.

But, the bottom line is, what a childish game he was playing withholding whether or not he had tapes. "I'll show you when I am ready !" It just makes him look even more stupid than people thought.
Nope; it just confirms he is exactly as stupid as the rest of the world knows him to be.

I gotta admit...the media got played like a fiddle by Trump. He got all their collective hopes up about audio tapes last week, then torches them in one unceremonious stroke this week.

The media took the bait, and Trump set the hook, reeled them in, and now they're flopping around in the bottom of Trump's boat.

Another impeachable offense: Intimidation of a Witness. Trump threatened Comey if he said anything to the press. Trump's lie about the tapes was an attempt to silence Comey. That's a federal crime, folks.

Impeach Trump.

What are you talking about? All this does is make trump look like the idiotic jackass many already know he is. It confirms he was trying to intimidate a private citizen in front of the entire world. Comey called his bluff, and Trump looks more like an asshat.

No Milton. That's not what happened. Everyone knew that Trump was lying because he's a lying sack of ****. However, because they can't call him a lying sack of **** without losing their FCC licenses, they play along and act like he might have been telling the truth.

Trump didn't play anyone like a fiddle or reel anyone into his boat, except for his dumbass cult members. You have swallowed his bait-- hook, line, and sinker.

Yet, I know we can agree that Trump looks positively like a genius, when compared to his detractors in the media, who seized upon the prospect of audio recordings in Pavlovian fashion.

I don't think you grasp the concept of how much this hurts Trump. Not to mention it's completely childish and unPresidential. He's absolutely incapable of behaving like an adult.

And his tape tweet is what triggered the Special Counsel who is going to put him in prison. His stupidity knows no bounds.
