Trump is telling aides he wants to re-hire Michael Flynn if hes cleared by the FBI: report

In Lily Tomlin's words - (Trump has "put reality on a back burner.&quot

"Even though damning revelations keep dropping about disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, it seems at least one person inside the White House wants him back: President Donald Trump.

White House sources tell the Daily Beast that Trump has “expressed his hopes that a resolution of the FBI’s investigation in Flynn’s favor might allow Flynn to rejoin the White House in some capacity.” Trump advisers both inside and outside the White House, however, have reportedly told him that bringing Flynn back in any role would be a very bad idea."

My withers are almost slightly wrung.

His last act as president, whenever that might be, just could be pardoning Flynn...

I almost hope he does it. It would be hard to argue that it was the action of a same man.

I remember during the campaign some one mentioned the failure of Trump Water....so at Trumps next event he trotted out a bunch of water bottles saying "see, it didn't fail".

His ego can't accept it and will literally lie to himself and believe his own bullshit.
