“It really feels like there’s two sets of books — it feels like a set of books for the tax guy and a set for the lender.”
I think there is a name for that. It’s on the tip of my brain.
Smaud? Craud? .
Hmm… I’m sure it will come to me.
I have this crazy idea.
I think they should create a fake report that shows the Obamas committed tax fraud on this scale. Barack and Michelle will admit to it. Do a tearful interview on 60 minutes.
And we just let the right-wing press go wild. Give them a month to be incensed about it. Let Hannity pop his top and let his giant noggin turn bright red with rage.
Then drop the curtain and reveal it was all an elaborate ruse.
I want a real demonstration of that common trope, “What if Obama did this?” I want to watch them squirm as they try to justify why they didn’t react similarly to Trump’s misdeeds.
There are people who stick with Trump because they are ride or die. Forget them. Nothing to be done about that brainless cult.
But there are others who are just too embarrassed to admit they were wrong. Those are the people I want to make as uncomfortable as possible for as long as possible. Because they would rather let the country fall apart than say, “You know what, this guy was a bad idea.”
