The one thing the Trump administration excels at is stepping on rakes. This doctored tape thing is a perfect example. Keep on trucking on with the first thought that comes to mind for your coverup. Don't look down for the consequence that might be hidden in the grass. Same thing with Signal gate. Don't check your text group for the reporter hidden in the names.l

If I were a conspiracy psychologist I might be tempted to say these folks can't stop themselves from failing. They don't have the self insight to step back, self check, and change course. A fatal flaw for sure in Trump, but he's hardly the only one.

We need to start a Go Fund Me for a large rake purchase and delivery to the WH.

Only if they are painted bright orange. Trump stepped on another one by ordering the incineration of tons of food meant for starving kids in Africa. Rather than distribute the food before it's expiration date, he decided to save American's some tax dollars. It could have been distributed for the cost of one of his golf trips to Bedminster.

Some days I think they're just dumb, other days I think they think they are on a mission from God.
