During their first meeting two days after Dumpy stole the election, President Obama warned him about Mike Flynn..... that he was problematic and it would not be a good idea to hire him ..... of course you can imagine Dumpy ignored that good advice because he thought he has this great brain that knows everything.
What justice this is that Flynn is the one who will take a major bite out of Trump's ample butt!

In the Trump administration, it's become apparent that no good deed ever goes unpunished, including an effort to protect national security. At some point once national sanity has been restored, Sally Yates should be reinstated with full compensation including back pay. It's the very least the country can do.

(14,913 posts)Trump knows nothing about anything. He's totally empty. He has no knowledge and when he gains knowledge it is devoid of context.
His first impression of Flynn, even before the first time he met him, the first time he ever heard of him, was in the context of Flynn and Obama being at odds/enemies.
To Trump, that means Flynn must be awesome, because Trump's unifying political ideology, to the extent he has one, isn't "America First" or "MAGA" or anti-immigrant any of that -- it is to be opposite of Obama.
"Obama fired him? I wanna hire him!" Only later does he learn anything useful about the guy to reinforce the decision or justify it to other more demanding people.
And this gut-level anti-Obama motivating force is what is going to bring Trump down. He went with his anti-Obama reflex instead of doing his homework, and it is going to destroy his life and bring all his lies and frauds crashing down around his ears. Savor that for a moment... To (almost) borrow a phrase from Butt-Head Trump: If it's what I say it is, I love it!
