Check my logic here...

Trump reads a conspiracy theory and believes it.

He repeats the conspiracy theory.

He's upset that nobody believes him.

He asks the FBI Director to validate his conspiracy theory.

The FBI discounts the conspiracy theory.

He's upset that the FBI Director doesn't believe him.



When SOMEONE conducts an investigation (House, Senate, Independent Counsel), and finds nothing, he's going to get angry at them. IOW, there will never be a resolution of this issue, until he drops it to push another one.

1. Exactly right

But I'm pretty sure he's got someone whispering the conspiracy into his ear. Bannon probably. Con men do this just to have control of what's being talked about.

It's also impossible to prove a negative, especially with conspiracy theories so this subject will be part and parcel of the talking points from now on. Forever.

2. The press briefing today should be AWESOME.

3. the big issue - he says it, half the country (a bit less than, hopefully) believes it.

4. Not to worry, the idiots running interference in the intel committees will pretend to do an

investigation and their conclusion will NOT be it didn't happen, their conclusion will be there is insufficient evidence at this time to make a conclusion.

America is broken, and the longer this complete idiot has access to our military, our nuclear warheads, our FBI, our IRS, etc etc etc

the longer we risk a total breakdown of society and possibly a nuclear holocaust.



Know what is remarkable and really scary? The right, the tparty, the GOP, they like what is going on, this is THEIR idea of a properly run government.

5. Except it's also possible the conspiracy theory is coming from inside the WH -Bannon could do that

Very easily. I don't think Breitbart publishes anything without their approval or consent. That's another DT move - have deals with people but pretend they're not working for him. Everyone from his first rally audiences to Carter Page, PHD and Lendowski clearly working for him but he denies it. He could have other people cutting the checks too.

6. As Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev once said about US VP Richard Nixon...

"Only an idiot believes his own propaganda."

7. Buckaroo Banzai !!

Any fans here? Trump is reminding me more and more of Dr. Lizardo. "Laugh while you can, monkey boy!"

8. It's what he did with the Birther Issue...

false claims, attacks against anybody who doesn't support his claim, lather, rinse repeat.
