On Wednesday, during an exclusive interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, our so-called “president” said that he will listen to foreign governments offering dirt on his opponents, and he might not alert the FBI.
Watch:
Since then, Trump and his entire staff, as well as his die-hard followers in Congress, have been scrambling to explain that statement away, but they are having very little luck as Democrats are getting closer and closer to an impeachment decision. Trump isn’t making himself look any better for it, either — he’s been ranting about it on Twitter for the past 24 hours now.
Here are some of the highlights:
I meet and talk to “foreign governments” every day. I just met with the Queen of England (U.K.), the Prince of Wales, the P.M. of the United Kingdom, the P.M. of Ireland, the President of France and the President of Poland. We talked about “Everything!” Should I immediately….

Then, late Thursday night, Trump made it worse for himself by pinning a tweet to the top of his Twitter feed that features a video of a Fox News interview with Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) who was on the show trying to make light of “the president’s” statement to ABC, but only succeeded in making Trump look even more guilty.
Here’s the video attached to that tweet:

I guess Trump thought that this tweet of Chaffetz proclaiming that the Mueller Report exonerated him explained it all? It didn’t… And the Twitterverse was quick to point that out to him:
That last one pretty much says what we’re all thinking!! Trump is guilty, and it’s just a matter of time now before this is all over. He’s getting desperate and we can all see it.
