Nixon didn’t even confess until 4 years after he was out of office. I don’t see Trump ever even doing that much.
do you mean the Frost/Nixon interviews? That was 3 years later . He sort of confessed there to obstructing justice.
"Four years after President Nixon resigned, he agreed to a series of interviews with David Frost, a British journalist. The first series of interviews - which took place in May of 1977 - were fairly easy for Nixon, and he avoided most controversial issues. "
In the first place, thump doesn’t have enough self-awareness to confess to anything. In the second place, he has the attention span of an average goldfish (apologies to goldfish of above average intelligence), meaning his memory resets to zero every nine seconds. Something that happened yesterday is ancient history, let alone a year ago or more. Hell, something he said at the beginning of any sentence he utters is ancient history by the time he gets to the the end of the sentence.
This is rather mysterious. Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.
Double-checking, I’ll agree that my cite didn’t know how to do math.
I could see Trump’s mental state declining to the point were he accidently confesses something without even realize what he’s doing.
I could see a “You’re goddamned right I ordered the Code Red!” scenario popping up at some point too.
Damn but today’s Li’l Donnie comic is a good chuckle today with Rex, Vlad, and Donnie.
You’re forgetting one extra aspect: Trump’s willingness and ability to go along with that. He gets really angry when other people can tell him what to do. It may not be a bluff, but Trump will likely treat it like it is, call them on it, and dare them to follow through with it.
So I’m not sure which scenario is actually better. The risk of Trump going along with what they want and getting some accomplishments under his belt might not be worth it for the Dems. We do kinda need to get rid of him to really repair the damage he’s done.
Now that’s where you’re wrong. Donny Two-scoops is nothing but self-aware. Like a two-year old, he thinks the world revolves around him and everything he wants should be done and everything he thinks – however transiently* – is the absolute truth. His wife, his children, his business associates, the whole goddam country exist only to pander to his needs and to stroke his ego.
*Your goldfish analogy is totally spot on.
I would modify this to say he sees nothing but himself, but there’s no awareness in what he sees, kwim? It’s like I can look at myself in the mirror wearing a bikini and see myself, but I’m not aware that I look like a manatee in two hankies. I’m not aware that others are staring at me and either laughing or gagging.
IOW seeing =/= awareness
Thanks for my belly laugh* of the day, says your sister manatee.
*And reminder of why I love the Dope.
