The revelations that Michael Cohen recorded conversations with Donald Trump about squashing the story about Karen McDougal are simply the latest in a cascading incidents of monumental stupidity. Donald Trump was never a bright man, and there is compelling evidence that he is suffering from precipitate cognitive decline. What is striking is the incredible stupidity of those he surrounds himself with. Some of this is his fragile ego that can't stand to be around someone who reminds him of his own striking limitations, and some of it is simply that he is a horrible human being, and intelligent people don't want to be around horrible human beings.
From what we can gather, Trump and Cohen were trying to reimburse the National Enquirer - owned by a Trump friend - for buying McDougal's story and then sitting on it. While I'm not a campaign finance lawyer, that's beyond "shady" and reeks of outright criminality.
But, as always, the frustrating thing is that seemingly no matter what new information drops, it makes no difference to the MAGAts who refuse to admit that they elected a dimwitted vulgarian with the morality of Caligula and the acumen of Caligula's horse. Therefore, the GOP majority in Congress will, once again, furrow their brows and ignore more evidence of rampant criminality in their own party. However, one has to think that the constant barrage of bad news is having an effect.
As I've been saying for months: It's the corruption, stupid.
