Glorious Leader just delivered what was perhaps his most spittle-flecked, raging, ranting, literally screaming performance during a phoned-in interview with Fox & Friends. Trump bounced around erratically from topic to topic and the interview will surely consume the news cycle for the rest of the day.
Let’s start with Fox News.
President Trump, in an exclusive interview with “Fox & Friends,” blasted former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday morning as a “liar and a leaker” and said he is “guilty of crimes.”
The president, who called into “Fox & Friends,” slammed the memos that Comey leaked to a friend to spur a special counsel appointment.
He said they included classified information, and challenged their accuracy.
“He leaked classified information to get a special counsel and leaked the memos which are classified – the memos were about me and he didn’t write those memos accurately. He wrote a lot of phony stuff,” Trump said. “He is guilty of crimes.”
Pretty sure we’ve never seen a TV news host tell the PRESIDENT that the interview has to end because “we’re running out of time.”
THAT is how batshit Trump was.

Trump tells Fox and Friends that he decided to do an interview with them because it’s Melania’s birthday. Asked what he got her, he pauses and says, “Maybe I didn’t get her so much. I got her a beautiful card.”

“I’m fighting a battle against a horrible group of people who are bringing fake charges against me. It’s a phony cloud hanging over my head. Everybody knows it’s a fix, it’s a witch hunt. I give myself an A+.” – Trump on Fox & Friends.

That section of the Fox and Friends interview where Trump is yelling into the phone about the Mueller investigation is absolutely remarkable.
