A Slime Ball Projects

Donald Trump and the immediate members of his crime family skipped a trip to Peru this week so that the Windbag in Chief could closely monitor the storms that are savaging his administration.  In the last few days he has suffered the humiliation of his personal attorney having his home and offices raided by the FBI, the re-emergence of his old nemesis, James Comey, as the former FBI Director begins hawking his Trump-focused memoir, as well as the storm that goes by the name of "Stormy."

Crap is flying in every direction, and Trump knows that he, a very stable genius, is the only one capable of controlling the chaos.

Today Donald Trump has been spitting his venom on Twitter, and his target de jour is former FBI Director James Comey, the man Trump fired last year when it became apparent that Comey would not be the White House lapdog and control or quash the Mueller investigation.  Comey has spent the intervening months since his firing writing a book, one which reportedly views Trump in a most unkind light.   He has been holding interviews and press events hyping the book's release.  It is due out next week.

This morning Trump had a meltdown on Twitter.  In two connected tweets he threw everything he had at Comey, to wit:

James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and.....

...untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!
Those two blasts are so rich in hypocrisy that one almost feels compelled to pull on boots before attempting to wade through them.   Donald Trump, a man who lies with almost every breath, having the gall to single out someone else as a liar is breathtakingly incredulous.   But then, for a man who hired a porn star to spank him with a rolled-up newspaper to label anyone a "slime ball," well, its just stupefying.

Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as "projection."  It is a defense mechanism in which people protect themselves from their own feared shortcomings or negative qualities by projecting those attributes onto others.  Trump calls Comey a liar because he knows others see him (Trump) as being a liar - or he sees himself that way, and the same goes for being a slime ball.  And "Crooked Hillary" has always been about Trump deflecting attention from his own corrupt business practices. 

James Comey knows, and most of the planet knows, that when Trump is ranting, he is basically describing and defining himself.

As a way of giving our fake POTUS an appropriate salute with both hands, I plan on ordering James Comey's new book:  A Higher Loyalty:  Truth, Lies, and Leadership - and I plan on purchasing it through Trump's least-favorite on-line retailer:  Amazon.com.  (I will review it in this space at a later date, perhaps during the impeachment.)

Keep up the craziness, Donald.  We all know who you are really tweeting about.
