The asshole knew about his son's meeting

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-clinton-don-jr-russia_us_596562fee4b09b587d633d10?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

“I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week, and we’re going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons,” Trump said at the time. “I think you’re going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. I wonder if the press will want to attend. Who knows?”

Trump’s promise of big Clinton news came four days after his eldest son was contacted by publicist Rob Goldstone about information obtained by the Russian government that would be damaging to Clinton, according to emails Trump Jr. released Tuesday.

That's how you get rewarded in their family. That's how they get praise from their father.

But Everyone with half a brain has known for a long time that this Cretin is not only the most sociopathic, pathologically lying conman on earth, but is also an incompetent half-boob in a perpetual stupor of abject stupidity, base morality and smugly ignorant self-denial.

The Republicans know he is an over-inflated hot water bottle of self-aggrandizing mental illness about to explode and are purposely and calculatingly using his reality show dipshitness, encouraging the neandrathal oaf to divert attention away from the fact that they are trying everything in their power to Destroy this nation, line their mortal pockets while they can and by all means undo everything that the black man who had the audacity to be an immensely intelligent, classy, compassionate, loved and respected leader did for our country.

They will use The Cretin until he self-destructs and then turn to their Mommy don't let a woman touch me, Religious Extremist Fake Assed Christian super freak, Pence, to step up.

If the asshole knew about the meeting, he could easily be so full of his own importance and god-complex that he didn't comprehend or give two shits about what it implied because there is no United States vs foreign enemies, there is only himself. And he sees himself above all laws.

And the asshole, if he DIDN'T know about his son's treasonous bullshit, is dumber than a box of Eric's hair and is too ignorant to be let out in public.
