This did not take long. It never does. What Donald Trump has yet to learn and will never learn is the old rule from Sun Tzu (but paraphrased by Napolean and many other military leaders over the years,) “Never interrupt your opponent when he’s making a mistake.” No, Trump never waits for the dust to settle. He jumps in with both feet and incriminates himself instead. Shortly past midnight on Tuesday, January 14, the Jack Smith report was released to the press. By one o’clock the legacy media had stories hitting the wires and Trumpty just couldn’t stand it, so he had to get in the fray.

Trump’s tweet ends, “showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were. Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!” Donald Trump Truth Social 01:41 AM EST 01/14/25

Yes, the voters have spoken, or your fat saggy orange ass would be headed into a 6 x 9 jail cell with a jump suit that matches your description. There you could visit with the rats and the cockroaches, like your buddy Jeffrey Epstein did, when Lady Justice and Lady Karma were both paying a visit to him at the same time.

You notice the screaming all-caps meltdown with three exclamation points. The reason: he’s scared shitless what will be revealed in the report. It was always surmised that if that case had gotten to trial (either case, the classified documents or the Capitol riot case) before the election, that Trump would have been toast.

But it didn’t go to trial and yes, the voters have spoken — but not in a landslide. This was not a Goldwater-Johnson or a Mondale-Reagan moment, nothing of the sort. This was very simply Trump squeaking by just under 1.5% of the popular vote and pulling all the swing states (and them marginally) to have a decent electoral college vote.

But landslide? In his dreams. Only in his depraved, demented, Adderall-induced delirium was the 2024 election any kind of a landslide.

And on some level Trump knows it. And again, that’s where he really should just shut up and let all this wash over him. But he can’t. He’s got to jump right in and pound his chest like King Kong and bellow about how he’s innocent and they’re all guilty — and if that’s what the report shows, then he wouldn’t have to scream it in the wee hours of the morning, now would he?

Trump will freak as the details of the report break in the next few days. Then he’ll plot some kind of a revenge. Or, maybe he won’t. Remember, Joe Biden has a few more days in office. He may just issue a prophylactic pre-emptive pardon for Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Jack Smith, Anthony Fauci and many more we could name here, so they won’t be persecuted and harassed.

Or, what could happen, is that they (or some of them) will refuse such a thing and let Trump do his damnedest. Then his petty, vicious, tyrannical streak will be exposed for all the world to see.

And where’s J.D. Vance through all this? Oh, right. He’s more concerned about the Ohio State v. Notre Dame football game than he is about attending the Inauguration. Intriguing that Vance is distancing himself from Trump on that day of all days. And maybe that’s the template for what you’re going to see in their relationship.

Bear in mind, Trump did not have Vance too close to him at Mar-a-Lago over the holidays. He was several tables down. Not quite as far out to Siberia as Donald Junior and his new girlfriend were, but definitely not part of the main table, let’s just say that much.
