No it was multiple transactions from taking campaign funds and then
running them through Trump's properties, then into a shell corporation
that was set up by his fixer, Michael Cohen, and then had checks cut to
two different women as hush money.

I'm tempted to suggest that this is part of the unraveling, but his language skills are just as deplorable as everything associated with this vile criminal.

I examined a 3 yr old last week who had more sophisticated sentence structure, vocabulary and thought contents that this buffoon.

And what a stupid statement - "I know words." Not very many.

And will claim he didn't before its all over, and he also projects often the opposite of the truth to use to help incite his low level followers with who'll reject the truth against their master con artist leader, instead of accepting the truth about him. They would have to accept they were fools believing him. and some are already running away knowing he's not who they thought he was at all, and regretting ever voting for him. As more gets exposed a lot more will join in running away from this corrupt criminal , and liar. He has no chance for 2020,and knows if the Senate flips , which it will, he's done .

A 'Smocking Gun,' Al Capone, And Obstruction Of Justice - 8/1/18


Wednesday brought a trifecta of Twitter nonsense from the President, with tweets about Al Capone, a 'smocking gun,' and basically obstruction of justice in plain sight.

He got a back door admission to the University of Penn after 3.5 years at
Fordham and then took some classes from the business school which is
Wharton but Wharton is really known for its MBA program which Trump
was nowhere near.

In reality for him, Comey’s testimony is a smocking CANON or at least maybe a smocking HOWITZER......

I've often wondered if Repug election officials ran him through the well know standardized spelling and grammar test when they vetted him prior to running for public office.
