JUST IN: The President of the United States invents a fairy tale in which he heroically tries to save the country from "going in the wrong direction" and heroically continues to serve his own business interests - which just happen to coincide with Vladimir Putin's.

1. Fractured Fairy Tales!

I loved those as a kid!

Today's version, not so much but they are good for a larf!

[ananda]

5. Me too!

This one is really fractured!!!

[NotAPuppet]

2. "Very legal and very cool"?

[volstork]

4. No kidding!

Welcome to DU!

[malaise]

3. The definition of lightly:

wanting a Trump Tower in Moscow or 30 years.

Go to jail, Don the Con.

[SWBTATTReg]

6. We put traitors in jail...nt

[ProfessorPlum]

7. "lightly" LOLOLOLOLOL

[TeamPooka]

8. Lightly lied to the American people.

[PatSeg]

9. Oh yes

He decided to sacrifice his happy life because the country was going in the wrong direction. What a hero!

[The Liberal Lion]

15. IKR

We have ZERO examples of trump sacrificing ANYTHING outside of something that belongs to someone else.

Wait, I must correct that. He always sacrifices dignity for the tawdry.

[PatSeg]

16. He certainly is quick

to sacrifice that which doesn't belong to him. He even sacrifices friends and associates on a regular basis. He is a legend in his own mind.

[Saboburns]

10. Just a little light treason

[Texin]

11. This is his version of Nixon's infamous maudlin Checker's Speech

(Which happened over two decades before his equally infamous "The President is not a Crook" blather.

12. "Tweeting about light collusion at 4 a.m."

Was looking on a map and the timezone there is actually 2 hours ahead of ET so it would have been 6:52 am there.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. He sounds like the fucking protagonist in the Monty Python movie, Brazil. Soon, he'll start singing.

Trump - Fighting off the evil bureaucracy. Forced to escape to Russia, only to see he's insane and in prison.

14. This is indeed how the guilty act. It's so textbook it's almost funny (almost)

First they deny uncategorically. Then they hypothesize that it wouldn't be wrong if they HAD. Then they say I only did a little bit of what one claims.

End the end we find it was much worse than anything we ever imagined.

This will go the same way.

We will find that not only did trump commit crimes and treason, not only did his family and friends commit crimes and treason, but as well we will find many, many, many republicans committed the same crimes or tried to cover up the crimes already committed.

17. I'm naming the Moscow building ConFefe World.

That building was only for coffee. I hardly knew that building. That building was gone a long time ago. That building was stupid and sad and dishonest, anyway.

18. He's also lying about being a "very good developer"

"Very good developers" don't get blacklisted by the credit department of every bank in America. Trump has been, and the reason is simple - he refuses to pay his bills. Not "he can't" (although that's part of it; his mouth writes checks his business activities can't cash) but he won't. Remember, this is the guy who went bankrupt three times and failed in the casino business, the vodka business and the meat business.

[Enoki33]

19. He seems to believe he can change reality and other people's belief by using

his repugnant mouth to bleat out new self serving lies, not understanding he is confirming his guilt. This guy really believes he is some kind of privileged golden prince. Probably because many years ago, if memory serves me right, Time magazine once referred to him as the nearest the US had to royalty.
