The sycophancy in the White House is just sick.

Omarosa was on The View and on MSNBC where she played a tape from last October in which Trump is talking during a Communications meeting (that he apparently crashed). It is just out and out CRAZYTOWN.

On the tape Trump claims that Hillary was guilty of Russian collusion, not him, and that Hillary was guilty of money laundering campaign funds.

Then there is this gem:

Trump: "I think this whole Russia thing is turning around. Isn't that true, Sarah?"

Sarah Sanders: "Absolutely"

What the hell?

This shows that Trump's public statements are not strategic lies merely for public consumption...He spouts the same nonsense to his fawning minions. Trump clearly wants to believe his own nonsense, and those around him are willing to feed his delusions.

Very manipulatable. And some of his bad decisions are due to being manipulated by the GOP.
What I didn’t realize was how very, very dangerous he is. It is frightening.
