Looking for a fight

Notice how fake news is capitalized. He’s like an excited 13 year old girl. 

The so-called fake news has been circulating for months. The leak was the fact that the president and the president-elect had been briefed on it. And that wasn’t fake. And who knows who leaked that? It could have come from the White House.

It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for a president to go to war with the Intelligence Community. But Donald Trump is not that president. He isn’t doing it because he understands they have too much power or because he doesn’t think secrecy is appropriate in a democracy. He would happily use the power of these institutions for his own ends. 

He’s upset because of this Russian investigation of which he may or may not have had knowledge but for which he’s responsible nonetheless. If he knew about it he’s in big trouble. If he didn’t he’s being an absolute fool to let it fester like this. The smart move would be to disavow it and tell the country he wants a thorough investigation. Anyone with half a brain would take that route. The fact that he refuses is what’s causing the suspicions to rise. 

Of course, he is a cretinous moron so who knows why he’s doing it? But it’s crippling him before he even gets started. When I went through all the political cartoons yesterday to choose some for the Sunday Funnies, I was very surprised to see that the majority of them were about the Russian scandal.  This thing is not going away.
