Donald Trump turned comedian today.

2 of the comments he made to the press as he walked to his helicopter made me laugh out loud.
The first comment is the one that made me laugh the most. He made it in reference to now infamous white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. where the neo-nazis were protesting the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee.

This morning Trump was praising Lee as one of the greatest generals in history and those neo nazi white supremacist protestors were really just historians. Then came the comment that made me laugh; "I am a student of history".

Then came the second ridiculous funny comment; "I am a young vibrant man".

The third take-away I had from his comments was not funny but down right scary - "The Mueller investigation and report were part of an attempted coup to illegally take over control of the US Government."

That little clip had to have been written by Stephen Miller with the help of Steve Banion designed to fire up his base to be prepared to take to the streets and use violence to protect the President from the attempted coup.

I have to believe that the mayors and governors of wherever will speedily call out the police, state troopers, sheeriffs and/or national guard to quell a riot. I also have to believe that we still have army generals, who take their oath to the constitution quite seriously.

Or just regular Army for that matter...
They won't last 15 minutes before either shooting themselves in the foot or surrendering.

He doesn't know ANYTHING about history. Nothing, zilch, nada, zip! And as for being a "young, vibrant man", well that is clearly the exact opposite of what he is. How he can say these things with a straight face is evidence that he is deep in the throes of senile dementia or he is the most delusional person alive.

He has completely lost touch with reality. He lives in his own little bizarre fantasy world that bears no resemblance to the world that the rest of us occupy. Someone get the hook. He's got to go.
