Trump is the enemy of the American people

Just put it on the towering pile of scripts even the writers of “Veep” would have rejected as too absurd. But it’s shockingly, appallingly, real.

See if you can follow this.

On Tuesday morning, the president’s national security adviser, John Bolton, announces North Korea is one of five countries he believes are actively spreading misinformation about dysfunction in the Trump administration. Bolton says this — again, on Tuesday morning — in an interview at a Wall Street Journal event.

Bolton goes on to smear the American press — at this press event — as “the stenographers of these regimes,” who “immediately pick it up.” On Tuesday morning.

Cut to Tuesday afternoon. President Trump is asked about a new Wall Street Journal report that Kim Jong Un’s brother, Kim Jong Nam, was a CIA informant before he was killed in a chemical weapons attack in 2017.

....

To recap, the President of the United States, essentially, promises that he will not spy on North Korea, a regime his national security adviser said — on that same day — was actively lying about us. He makes this promise to the American press, which his national security adviser said — on that same day — was basically traitorous for publishing North Korean propaganda.

There are words for this. Words like “Orwellian” or “gaslighting.” But those both being a little too polished, I prefer “dumbf---ery.”

What else do you call it when the leader of the free world can’t tell the factual, objective difference between our friends and our enemies, between people who actually need him and people who are clearly just using him to boost their own influence?
