The Bulwark: Tim Miller & Ben Wittes: 'Donald Trump Sleeps Through Michael Cohen's Testimony!'

Source:The Bulwark talking about Sleepy Don & Michael Cohen in court.

"Michael Cohen substantiated 99% of what's needed to prove Trump's hush money reimbursement scheme—and so far, Cohen held his own under the weak defense counsel's cross-exam. Plus, are we past the peak power of the corporate lobbying world? Ben Wittes and the WSJ's Brody Mullins join Tim Miller today."

To say that Donald J. Trump is even a political hypocrite, let alone a hypocrite, would be like saying that the famous 19th Century bank robber Billy The Kid, likes money. I mean it's just Captain Obvious being his best on his best day.

I only mention this because Donald Trump has a bad habit and even intentional (I would argue) of projecting his own weaknesses on his opponents: 

He calls Joe Biden both Sleepy Joe and Crooked Joe, while he's falling asleep at his own criminal trial, where incarceration will be an option, if he's convicted. 

Low Energy Jeb Bush from 2015. Again, that man struggles to stay awake at his own criminal trial. Plus, the reports of then President Trump showing up to work at the Oval Office at around 11AM or noon leaving work on the same day, at around 4-5PM. 

DJT projecting his own weaknesses like Lyin Ted Cruz, even though DJT struggles to get through a sentence, not even a paragraph without lying, this worked for him in 2015-16. It didn't work for him as President. The Republican Party loses the House in 2018 and then he loses reelection 2 years later and is impeached twice in that same time period.

But Donald Trump is like a very simple football team, that lacks talent and has a very limited playbook and therefor is stuck with the few plays on offense that works for them the best, because they've worked before. But also because that's all he has. 

I think Donald J. Trump privately knows that all he has going for himself is his own self-promotion, his own political grifting of some of the most gullible people every born on Planet Earth, and his full on verbal combat of people simply because he sees them as threats to him and people who oppose him. Not because they might actually be bad people or not. 

And again this tiny political playbook worked for DJT in 2015-16. But it hasn't worked since. If anything it's just made his life a living hell and has made him a very lonely man, because people around him who you would think would be loyal to him, like his own, damn, family, essentially sees him as a loser. But we'll see if it works in November.
