OBAMAGATE! Has Got to Be the Most Transparent Scam Yet. Just Look at How Trump Explains It.

OBAMAGATE! It's the biggest political scandal in history. It involves dark and nefarious crimes by OBAMA! (who we don't like) and BIDEN! (who is the president's opponent in the next election). What did they do? Uh...OBAMAGATE!

This is shaping up to be the most transparent scam yet in a presidency—and a lifetime—full of them. The president is an example of that great American archetype, the snake-oil salesman. The confidence man. You hatch a scheme to part people from their money and you skip town before they realize what's what. If you can't skip town, you cook up another scam to distract them from the last one—or to part other people from their money and keep the gravy train rolling. Just ask the contractors who worked on Trump's properties how he does business. Ask the folks who made the mistake of buying shares in his firm when he brought it public to avoid personal bankruptcy. One can only imagine what the steaks or the vodka tasted like. Buyer beware.

We've learned none of these lessons, however, and now that the United States response to the coronavirus pandemic is among the worst in the world, we'll have to sit through month after month where the president tries to sell us on OBAMAGATE! Quick, they're seeing through the last fraud—change the subject! He was asked to explain OBAMAGATE! in a Fox Business interview with reliable sycophant Maria Bartiromo this morning. At another point, his interrogator essentially asked if it ever gets difficult being so awesome. Anyway, here's his explanation of this titanic scandal.

If you're still wondering what exactly the "crime" is, there's a good reason for that: this is gobbledygook. He says they wanted Flynn to lie about him, and then something about KT-McFarland-"knock knock FBI," and then "unmasking," and then he goes back into the FBI Lovers routine. What? That's from the last album! But why bother with a coherent narrative when you can just say OBAMA and GATE next to each other, and a good chunk of the country's lizard brains will activate? That is the sum of this. His fans hate Obama so he put the Evil Suffix next to it and now he will say it over and over while his lackey attorney general and intelligence chief leak pieces of information that vaguely gesture towards Shadowy Deep State Coups.
