OK, now he's starting to lose it

Did anyone see either of the Trump press events today with the President of Finland?

Trump was in full-blown rage mode, attacking the Democrats and throwing out lie after lie after lie.

He said that the Democrats haven't done anything and are just obstructing. The truth is that the House has passed a number of bills that Moscow Mirch refuses to allow the Senate to consider, so where's the obstruction?

He said that Pelosi, after reading the "transcript" of his call with the Ukranian President, said that the call was "perfect" and there was no reason to impeach him. She never said that.

He said that FL Sen. Rick Scott also proclaimed the call as "perfect". Scott never said any such thing.

He attacked the Washington Post about a book written by two of their reporters that claimed he wanted a moat with snakes and alligators on the southern border. The book was written by two NY Times reporters, and the Times stands by their story.

He said that Adam Schiff helped the whistle-blower write the complaint - that's not true. What Schiff's office did was tell the whistle-blower to get counsel and file a complaint with the IG. According to a bipartisan statement by the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee -*BIPARTISAN* - that's the standard procedure when a whistle-blower approaches a member of Congress.

He said that Adam Schiff made up a false account of what he said on the call and presented it to Congress as if it was real. Not true; Schiff prefaced his remarks by saying this was the "essence" of what Trump said - clearly not suggesting a direct quote.

He said Schiff should be investigated for treason. Treason is specifically defined in the Constitution in Article III, Section 3: “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” It does NOT include disagreeing with the President.

He said the "transcript" was an exact copy of what was said on the call - "every word, every comma". The document released clearly said at the bottom of page one that it was not a verbatim transcript. Sen. Angus King had a staff member read the "transcript" aloud - it took about 10 minutes. The call was 30 minutes long, and there were no translators involved because President Zelensky is fluent in English. What was said during the other 20 minutes that we haven't seen?

Trump is starting to act like a cornered animal, lashing out at anyone who comes close to him. This is not going away and will only get worse.

And for those who think this is a coup attempt - if Trump is impeached and removed from office, Pence becomes President. No coup, no change of power. The government would still be the same as it was with a Republican in the office, just as the Constitution says this should work.
