I'm torn as to what's going on behind the scenes at the White House this morning.

Is it:

A) Trump is beyond gleeful that one of his slackjawed minions decided to take him up on the "enemy of the people" deal and send bombs to the Clintons, Obama and CNN....

...or...

B) Trump is extremely annoyed because his handlers are desperately trying to convince him to say something and he doesn't want to say anything that could be remotely be considered conciliatory or sympathetic to the Clintons, Obama and CNN?

Might be a odd combo of both, to tell you the truth.

He comes out with a statement saying they deserved it. That is what he is thinking and maybe he can't restrain himself.

Not good for the country, but maybe the scales would come off the eyes.

Chances are they will drug him up and send him out with a prepared statement.

but yeah, probably a combo of the two...his handlers terrified that they won't be able to contain his excitement. Not that it matters; he can say or do whatever he wants, as he himself has pointed out several times, and he won't lose any followers.

And if Trump doesn't come right out and say that, rest assured the rightwing noise machine is already telling that to the moranic minions.
