Donald doesn’t know what he doesn’t know
Today in an interview with Lester Holt of NBC News Trump called Comey a showboat.
Yes that’s right. Trump called Comey a showboat.
Trump called Comey a showboat.
He also said he asked Comey whether he was under investigation.
“Sir, sir, please sir, am I under investigation?”
He says Comey told him he wasn’t. Yeah right. He also said Obama spied on him in his jammies at Schlump Tower, so what he says happened isn’t worth a dog’s fart.
“I actually asked him” if I were under investigation, Trump said, noting that he spoke with Comey once over dinner and twice by phone.
“I said, if it’s possible would you let me know, ‘Am I under investigation?’ He said, ‘You are not under investigation.'”
“I know I’m not under investigation,” Trump told Holt during the 31-minute White House interview.
It would be highly unusual for someone who might be the focus of an FBI probe to ask whether he was under investigation and to be directly told by the FBI director that he was not.
Unusual, inappropriate, unethical, a dereliction of duty, a firing offense…the list is long.
The president also reiterated his claim that he had been planning to fire Comey even before he received Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s recommendation to do so.
“He’s a showboat, he’s grandstander, the FBI has been in turmoil,” Trump said of Comey in his wide-ranging interview with Holt. “You know that, I know that. Everybody knows that. You take a look at the FBI a year ago, it was in virtual turmoil, less than a year ago. It hasn’t recovered from that.”
Oh Donald. Look at yourself. Look. Turmoil, thy name is Donaldus Reginae.
Trump also insisted there was no “collusion between me and my campaign and the Russians.”
“Also, the Russians did not affect the vote,” he said.
Stupid, stupid man. He doesn’t know that. He can’t know that.
Now now. I’m sure his Russian handlers can tell him. They should know.
Donald doesn’t know what he does know, in that much of what he “knows” is not true. Which means he knows less than he “knows.” He has negative knowledge. Anti-knowledge, if you will. Anything asserted to be true by Trump is more likely than not untrue, with the probability of untruthfulness increasing exponentially with the number of assertions. Perhaps this could be worked into Screechy Monkey’s Trump Decoder Ring?
Oh for the days of people who knew the difference between “known unknowns” , “unknown unknowns” and knowing sweet fuck all.
(Was that “Reginae” yet one more dig, knowing how he freaks out at any suggestion he’s not 3000% through-and-through Total Male?)
No, it’s Donnie of Queen’s, rendered in Latin.
Definitely one more dig, but more a snobbish reminder that Manhattanites still to this day look down on him as a vulgar grifter from the most resoundingly unglamorous borough of NYC. He hates that.
