Like another gimmick will fool us into thinking trump is being honest

We have watched trump lie on twitter, lie on television, lie in printed publications, but suddenly he has a suggestion that he thinks will fool us into believing him. Stephanie Grisham, his latest designated back up yes person has come out and said that trump might just use this new method of convincing the American people of his innocence in the Ukraine extortion attempt to use other countries to get his way here.
And while he is at it, why not steal the technique of the great Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR use fireside talks to inspire hope for the American people during the great depression, where he came up with things like “we have nothing to fear but fear itself”. trump, of course, is using that technique, as he uses every technique that he makes use of, for the sole purpose of making it all about him. Who can forget his Thanksgiving speech that was all about being thankful….for himself.
Chris Cuomo sums it up in this video from CNN. The wonderful thing is that he shows Lindsay Graham’a total flip on his position about getting or agreeing with foreign countries to try and affect presidential campaigns. He includes in the video trump’s request that Russia find dirt on Hillary, especially emails that she deleted. His supporters will try and say he was joking, but he is not smiling and those listening are not laughing so that doesn’t hold water. Being too stupid or unorganized to successfully conspire to collude, does not prove innocence.
So my take is that trump may just try a “fire side chat” where he will supposedly read the transcript of the phone call. Of course that will be a redacted version that expunges his attempt to hold up the military aid monies for the Ukraine unless they “investigate” Biden. Why do I maintain that? Because there is already testimony that the transcript that was surrendered had been redacted with words replaced by trump’s famous …. marks. Plus, if the call was so innocent, why did they bury in an especially secure computer to start with.
No, it is clear to me that trump intends to try and lie his way out of this just like he has every other horrible thing he has done and said. Sadly, the people who support him will go right along with his lies. And if necessary will deny recorded reality that we all can hear and see with a minimum amount of effort. You know, just like some of them deny that he made fun of a handicapped reporter just doing his job.
Wake up, those of you who have not already. The House will hopefully impeach this horrible stain on our county’s history and present reputation. However, the republicans in the Senate have so far given him cover, even with Graham flipping from 1. a foreign government that tries to influence an election by dishing dirt about an opponent is to immediately be report to the FBI to 2. i see nothing wrong with trump’s call with the president of the Ukraine. But then we knew Lindsay was all about party or power over country or constitution when he dropped all loyalty to the ideals he and his best friend, John McCain, believed in the minute McCain became incapacitated.
But decency will hopefully win out in the end even if the Senate covers for his crookedness again. We still have one more chance to save the country in 2020. So once again i hope those who haven’t will wake up because 2020 may be our last chance to save our once great country. (let’s just admit it, things have not been that great since trump got into office)
