@GottaLaff The spectacle, the disruption, is the entertainment, it's the point. Entertainment meant to amuse, anger, rally, foment, distract...so lies are the feature. Trump was a moderately successful actor, even as he was a terrible failure as a businessman. He was successful as an illusionist for tv, which is where he honed is abilities to create a fictional character, and sell it to fans.
My question about his narrative for his criminal case is this: if his made-for-tv storyline is that he is the innocent victim, how does Mr "I only hire the best" (tagline) explain why he, for decades, continually hired, employed, praised, promoted, retained, and $2 Million severanced -- and repeatedly surrounded himself with -- convicted felons and perjurers like Allen Weiselberg and Michael Cohen?
The entertainment storyline we're now supposed to follow is that the ONLY CLUELESS man is spectacular business genius Trump?
These rotten apples (including convicted perjurer and felon Weisselberg whom Trump recently awarded a $2,000,000 severance for valuable services rendered) do not fall far from the rotted tree.
