A President Untethered
The New York Times via Yahoo ^ | June 29, 2022 | By Peter Baker

WASHINGTON — He flung his lunch across the room, smashing the plate in a fit of anger as ketchup dripped down the wall. He appeared to endorse supporters who wanted to hang his own vice president. And in a scene laid out by a former aide that seemed more out of a movie than real life, he tried to wrestle away the steering wheel of his presidential vehicle and lunged at his own Secret Service agent.

Former President Donald Trump has never been seen as the most stable occupant of the Oval Office by almost anyone other than himself, but the breathtaking testimony presented by his former aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, at Tuesday’s House select committee hearing portrayed an unhinged commander in chief veering wildly out of control as he desperately sought to cling to power and egged on armed supporters to help make it happen.

The president that emerged from her account was volatile, violent and vicious, single-minded in his quest to overturn an election he lost no matter what anyone told him; anxious to head to the Capitol to personally disrupt the constitutional process that would finalize his defeat; dismissive of warnings that his actions could lead to disaster; and thoroughly unbothered by the prospect of sending to Congress a mob of supporters that he knew included people armed with deadly weapons.

A president who liked to describe himself as a “very stable genius” was anything but that as Hutchinson observed in those final, frenzied days of his time in office. Hers was not a description that surprised many of those who worked for Trump and had seen him up close in the preceding four years or, for that matter, many who had known him in the decades that preceded his life in politics.

This is how they work. One person tells a lie and everybody builds on it.

I thought the article was originally about Biden. Then I saw it was the NYTs and knew they couldn't be talking about their own stooge.

Key sentence

“Former President Donald Trump has never been seen as the most stable occupant of the Oval Office by almost anyone other than himself.”

“in a scene laid out by a former aide that seemed more out of a movie than real life...”

Well, it seemed that way because it was a work of fiction.

This was a five minute firestorm that was quickly put out by the SS guys who were present. Hutchison was not present. She is purveying hearsay and madeitup. Fox’s Bret Baier (sp?) jumped on it too eagerly and too soon.
