of the shut down. How many times will he be able to play this game with the press, before news consumers get bored and demand real news--like House hearings? I give it one more shut down as a distraction right as the House starts its hearings and then a shut down of the shut down when the House calls up Cohen and then Trump will need to find a new way to kill Americans in order to distract them.
Oh. Scary thought! When will Trump realize that all he has to do to make Americans stop thinking about the Russian Collusion is to kill them all and make them stop thinking forever? He is such a narcissist that sooner or later the thought will cross his mind--as well as visions of himself living like a national hero in a Trump Tower Moscow.
