My faith in Trump has been restored
In recent days, I have theorized that the Christine Blasey Ford accusation was a ruse, or (to use my personal terminology) a McAlpine gambit. I theorized that she was a willing co-conspirator in a pro-Trump scheme. In this scenario, an accuser would make a very public accusation of sexual assault and then, just when the story seems likely to do the greatest damage, it all falls apart in a some spectacular way. Result: Dems who backed her would look terrible.(For a proper definition of the term "McAlpine Gambit," see the preceding post.)
A paranoid theory? Yep! Look, we're all paranoid these days. Everybody's doing it. I'm not completely immune to trends; in 1970, I even had a pair of bell bottoms.
To a large degree, I fastened onto that theory because I was freaked out by Trump's decidedly non-Trumpian response. He actually said the right things...
"Why would I attack her?" Trump asked, according to two sources with knowledge of his remarks.Can you blame for feeling flummoxed and suspicious? That's not Trump. Donald Trump does not say such words.
Rather than lashing out in anger or defensiveness, Trump said Monday he'd like to "see a complete process."
"I'd like everybody to be very happy. Most importantly, I want the American people to be happy, because they're getting somebody that is great," he said.
And then, yesterday, we finally got the tweet I've been waiting for -- the tweet that restored my faith in Donald Trump:
I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!Now THAT'S Trump: Attack! Smear! Attack! Smear!
Granted, the lack of spelling errors is a bit worrisome, but the capitalization of Law Enforcement Authorities is a robustly Trumpian touch. He's back! The orange imposter has been banished. No more Mr. Nice Guy. The genuine thug has returned, and he's as vulgar as ever.
Can you blame me for my paranoia and cynicism? For three days, Donald Trump acted like a human being. He acted (dare one even say the word?) presidential. Either a truly Machiavellian scheme was afoot or the Apocalypse was nigh. No other conclusion seemed possible.
But with that one tweet, Trump has restored my faith in inhumanity.
Maybe -- just maybe -- the Blasey Ford accusation isn't a Machiavellian trick. Maybe this story is what it seems to be.
By the way, Ed Whelan has disavowed his mistaken identity theory. I admit that I thought that this theory might prove important. It wasn't so much that I trusted Whelan or his analysis, but the amount of sheer research that went into his tweets led me to suspect that this theory would play an as-yet undefined role in what I called "The Big Plot Twist." Whelan knows the law. I didn't think that he would name another individual in a case like this unless he knew how this play would end.
I was right about one thing: His tweets were actually a group effort.
Rosenstein. Yesterday's NYT story about Rod Rosenstein made me sick to my stomach -- so much so that I couldn't stand to think about politics for much of the day. That's why I didn't contribute a post.
Trump has given strong hints that he will use the revelation as an excuse to can Rosenstein, which will lead, eventually, to shutting down the Mueller probe.
Liberals, in their effort to bring the story into discredit, spent the day attacking the NYT. Assailing the credibility of the NYT is precisely what Trump wants. That story was a win-win for DJT.
Personally, I am persuaded that Rosenstein really did talk about invoking the 25th. Not only that: I think everyone connected with this administration has talked about that possibility at one time or another. How could they do otherwise? Trump's behavior has often been very bizarre. Late at night, as the ice clinks and the scotch pours, the thought must have entered their heads: What if the guy really is too crazy to do the job? What do we do...?
Omarosa gave her book that title for a reason.
As for the claim that Rosenstein talked about clandestinely recording Trump: Well, is that idea really such a stretch? Omarosa and Cohen actually did make recordings. If the 25th ever does come into play (with this president or any future president), the claimants are going to need evidence sufficient to convince Congress. Nowadays, you can't just say "He's nuts." You have to prove it.
THE freakiest event yesterday was Sean Hannity's warning to Trump. Hannity really seems to believe that the NYT article was part of a liberal plot to tempt the president into firing Rosenstein -- an outcome which Hannity believes would prove ruinous to Trump.
And people think my little theories are weird...!
