Donald Trump, in the linked video at 1:10: “I am a traitor…I’m a traitor.” From his own mouth! The 2020 ads are writing themselves! ---

If ugly looks could kill, Merkel would have taken care of Trump, yes. Your wife, on the other hand, is a different story Mr. Garrison. She is a leftist, like you, yes. But your fucking wife is the only leftist I know good at carrying out debates, and we had a very satisfying one last night where we ended up debating whether have sexy anal sex or vaginal, and we decided to have good old, awesome pussy-busting sex. We both loved every minute of the debate, and the aftermath. I look forward to debating your wife again, **Darren Garrison.** ---

Sean Spicer’s claim that the UK’s GCHQ tapped Trump Towers on behalf of Barrack Obama came from Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitano. Napolitano got it from former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson, frequent RT (Russia Today, Putin’s English language propaganda arm) commentator, also known for his [previous lie that Michelle Obama used an anti-white slur](http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/11/627917/-). > **[Fox’s Andrew Napolitano Stirred the Pot for Trump’s British Tempest...](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/17/business/media/fox-andrew-napolitano-trump.html)** > > Mr. Napolitano, the network’s senior legal analyst, set off a global row by asserting that Britain’s top spy agency had wiretapped Mr. Trump on behalf of Barack Obama. ---

On the one hand, it’s not easy watching any US President fail in such a spectacular fashion. Our Buffoon-in-Chief makes Harding look like Thomas Jefferson. But on the other hand, watching the Trump presidency unfold precisely – and I mean _exactly_ like I foresaw – is somewhat validating.
