Shoot First, Ask Questions Later

My goodness. So, John Dowd resigned recently as one of Trumpie's lawyers, right? On Monday, his other lawyer, Jay Sekulow, announced that Joseph diGenova and wife Victoria Toensing were replacing Dowd. diGenova in particular seemed to be a natural for Trump who had seen him on Red Fox repeatedly frothing at the mouth against Robert Mueller. And, truth be told, Dowd and another of Trump's lawyers, Ty Cobb, had been misleading their client, unwittingly or wittingly, into believing that Mueller's investigation would likely be over by the beginning or shortly after January, 2018. So, it all made sense to bring in a frother who would tell Trump what he wanted to hear, fire Mueller.

Today however, the self-same Jay Sekulow announced that Froth & Wife were not being brought on board the sinking ship. "Conflict of interest," Sekulow said. Toensing represents some guy who told Mueller he believed Hope #WhiteLiesMatter Hicks was pretty close to obstructing justice in drafting a memo concerning Don, Jr.'s meeting with those Russians at Trump Tower. That is not a conflict of interest. Rather, there was a conflict of "personal chemistry" when Trump interviewed Froth & Wife on Thursday, three days after he hired them. Hire, then interview.

Which begs the questions: who does Trump have good personal chemistry with; what is good chemistry to him?; and does Trumpian good chemistry have anything to do with the job specs? Consider:

He mulled Senator Bob Corker for Secretary of State but nixed him because Corker wasn't Taller.
Hired Rex Tillerson instead. Looks like a SecState, Rex did. Saw that Trump was a "moron," Rex did also and so didn't develop the requisite personal chemistry with him, Trump didn't.

Initially considered John Bolton for National Security Advisor but nixed him because he didn't like Bolton's walrus mustache. Hired clean-shaven, dirty-handed Michael Flynn, instead. Turned out well.

Then hired Bolton to replace H.R. McMaster, with whom he didn't have good "personal chemistry."

Now, hired then interviewed Froth and Wife and unhired them because they presented as "disheveled" in the interview.

Lol, Trumpie.

Most impulsive, inept decision-maker ever in his position. A complete moron.
