Michael Gerson makes a convincing case that Trump would like to be a dictator, but he's just too stupid and ineffectual. And it's not just Trump. Last night's cable news freakshow with a drunken Sam Nunberg implicating himself in any number of falsehoods is part and parcel of Trumpistan. Among the many lies Trump spewed from the campaign trail, "I'll have the best people" is undoubtedly a prize winner.
What is clear is that Mueller's probe is accelerating. He has the goods on a whole slew of the swamp dwellers and carnival barkers of Trumpistan. And contra Devin Nunes, he has the goods, because the goods exist. The noose is tightening and Trump appears to be losing his already tenuous grasp on reality.
Given his baseline incompetence, it is possible to believe that when the House of Trump falls, it falls as a comedy of errors rather than in a maelstrom of fire and fury. Maybe we escape this with our lives!
