Trump: a monkey that escaped from a cocaine study

NPR interviewed an editor from The National Review this morning who said that Trump’s lawyers act like they have no control over Trump, that he is like an escaped monkey from a cocaine study.

I think the editor’s name was Jonah Goldberg.

It was in regards to Trump being interviewed by Mueller.

With all due apologies to monkeys, I thought that the analogy was pretty funny, especially coming from a conservative.

But not as mindlessly partisan as some in his chosen profession. But he is a thoroughgoing conservative and if he has an issue with Trump it's probably because Trump is overreaching and likely to make conservatism look bad (there is not any disagreement with the direction Trump wants to take the country).

I think people like Goldberg might support impeachment if it comes to that.

And the reason why he has a job. He's a moron, despite his position at this particular time.

He's a stink bomb throwing little twit.

Is Goldberg really a serious guy or is he someone who really wants to present himself as a serious guy? I would say the later - he is kind of a moron in a lot of ways - but he's capable of noticing that President Trump is embarrassing to the party.
