President “Very Cool Dragon Energy Brother” was nice enough to call into state television on Thursday morning for what was billed as an “interview”, but what quickly (and predictably) devolved into an absurd ramble about conspiracies, porn stars and the Justice Department.

“Enjoy!” we did, Mr. President.
This was undoubtedly one of the more bizarre spectacles America has witnessed from this President to date and the cast of Fox & Friends clearly realized it as they were visibly bewildered throughout what sounded like the coked-up rantings of a paranoid schizophrenic.
Listen to this (literally) breathless diatribe about the media that finds Trump explaining how he stays “on the ball” and how he manages to preserve his “sanity”:
Here he is losing is fucking mind (and I mean literally shrieking) about the DoJ which isn’t “doing its job”:
In a truly unfortunate tirade about his beleaguered personal lawyer, he (accidentally) admitted that Cohen represents him the Stormy Daniels case and on top of that, his “tiny fraction” comment seems to be a tacit admission that most of what the two men have talked about isn’t covered under attorney-client privilege:
Here he is talking about how “they” come in “at five or six in the morning” and they “undo the locks”:
And here he is on “barrels and boxes” of cash to Iran:
As you can probably surmise from the looks on the faces of his Fox & Friends sycophants, this was a disaster of an interview for any number of reasons and indeed, it seems like he may have just stumbled into more legal trouble.
And after Trump goes off on the FBI's leadership under Comey as "crooked," Fox & Friends ends the interview, saying they could talk to him all day but that he probably has work to do.

The reactions from the peanut gallery are all hilarious, but far and away the best Twitter response was the comparison to Ray Liotta in Goodfellas when Henry Hill’s side coke business is going off the rails…

Will this country ever be the same? NO, it will not. Sliding down that slippery slope to a banana republic ..
Slope, what slope? It’s just free fall now.
HR — In your “undo the locks” video above, it seems suspicious that Trump’s audio cuts out for 9 seconds and FOX does a hard edit starting at the 2:51 mark just as he’s about to hang himself on Stormy Daniels. ???
Actually, watched it on MSNBC without the muting/cut. Trump’s full remark was:
“Well as a percentage of my overall legal work, a tiny tiny little fraction. But Michael would represent me and represent me on some things. He represents me like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me and, uh you know, from what I see, he did absolutely nothing wrong. There were no campaign funds going into this, which would have been a problem.”
So the “omitted” part was fairly damning and suggests he DEFINITELY used campaign funds to pay off Stormy Daniels.
Watching all the repeated coverage of this spectacle and the outrageous behavior by trump – why the hell do the GOP’s or anyone else for that matter, support this lunatic. Every single person in America, regardless of political position, should have the same goal. Remove this insane lunatic from the WhiteHouse asap.
Obviously, Ronny hasn’t been around to administer Destructo’s thorazine, klonopin and valium and from the looks of those videos Destructo may have overdosed on the uppers that Candyman has been charged with handing out like a drunk parent on Halloween.
What I don’t understand is that Destructo called for “extreme vetting*,” but failed to do any vetting of the man with the pasty skin who told the world that Destructo could live forever, weighed less than Obama, had the heart of Jimmy Carter, was cognitively sharper than Jeff Bezos, taller than LeBron James, and the man who looks to be caught**.
What gives with that?

Vox did a really great job on this column as well – even got a thank you from Michael Avenatti – uh oh!

I’m having lots of good laughs when the media plays the past years of trump repeatedly saying if you plead the 5th you are obviously guilty!
This is turning into the most entertaining “soap opera” the world has ever seen.
The fascist GOP loving itself some wannabe dick-tator.
The literal destruction of our planet and the destruction of our minds is pathetic. While our “Liar in Chief”, well ….lies and deflects knowingly or not, the republican crazies tear our country to shreds. This is the worst group of thieves, liars, sycophants, religious nuts in our history. The end is nigh as we go merrily into a global payback of astronomical proportions for all our hubris.
This is on a glide-path right into the end of a world economy that will tie our debt around our necks and put us out of our misery. Trump is just a B actor playing his two-bit part, just look inward for the real culprit, we didn’t demand truth on almost any level from our politicians, our religious leaders, our banks, and most importantly ourselves.
