Many a true word has been spoken in jest. Peter Strozk, the former FBI counterintelligence expert that so piqued Donald Trump back in the day, spoke on a news show Saturday morning about yesterday’s bombshell that Donald Trump, Jr. had texted Mark Meadows about how “simple” it would be to overthrow the election. Strozk made the comment that Junior didn’t think up these ideas on his own, because he doesn’t have the intelligence.
Ironically, that is exactly what Junior’s lawyer said yesterday — although not with the same rationale, obviously. Alan S. Futerfas said, “After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded.”
How interesting that Junior’s stupidity now seems to be his best asset. Another unbelievable turn in the twisted road of Trump world.
I give it up to Peter Strozk, that is the best synopsis of Junior’s mental prowess that I have ever heard, “it’s a successful day if he can remember the socks go on before the shoes.” This is just one more instance of how this clown car, la famille Trump, was received in Washington in 2016 and how they’re still regarded to this day. People were assessing their capabilities, as were you and I, and shaking their heads in disbelief — as were you and I.
I am also put in mind of Miles Taylor’s comment that working with Trump was like “watching your Uncle at the nursing home running around outside with no pants on and the attendants chasing him,” or words to that effect. As much of a zoo as you and I observed, imagine what it was like for seasoned Washington pros, used to a certain level of expertise, watching the Beverly Trumpbillies roll up the driveway of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, aka “that dump.”
When all is said and done, Junior will not be found to be the criminal mastermind behind the insurrection, because Strozk is right, he doesn’t have the brain power. But he was the conduit for a lot of information and it will be interesting to follow that trail of bread crumbs.
Junior should have taken a page from his brother-in-law’s book and skipped town before it all happened.
If brains were gasoline, neither Traitor Tot nor Traitor Tot Jr would have enough to run a pissant’s go-cart even one lap around a Cherio!
The king & prince of pissants. A classic Vonnegut term for self important morons.
And then there’s,Eric who thinks the shoes go on his head and uses the socks for mittens.
It’s hard to believe that people this stupid actually lived in our White House .
