Michael Hayden Segment On Trump Sacrificing Reputation of Presidency To Break Even On News Cycle

Not normally a fan of Michael "Elmer Fudd" Hayden, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

At 5:30 mark, Hayden claims Trump is sacrificing the reputation of the former President, the current President, the Presidency, and the United States JUST to 'break even' on the next 24 hour news cycle. At the 7 min mark Scarborough speculates Trump sends out the most insane tweets on Friday nights or Saturday mornings in order to dominate the news cycle over the weekend.

Personally, I think they're both being too generous in assuming this assclown actually has a STRATEGY behind this. He saw Mark Levin and/or Breitbart, or WingNut Daily post some idiotic conspiracy theory about Obama bugging his phones, and he tweeted about that...rather than actually asking intelligence officials.
