Donald Trump goes completely berserk after Gordon Sondland buries him
It’s been nearly half a day since Gordon Sondland’s public testimony against Donald Trump began, and Trump still has yet to attack the guy. Instead Trump has responded to Sondland’s testimony by taking one of his quotes absurdly out of context, which resulted in Trump wandering the White House lawn while holding a piece of paper that said “I WANT NOTHING” on it. But now Trump has gotten his wits about him, so to speak, and he’s lashing out in berserk fashion.
Interestingly, Trump still isn’t attacking Sondland. Instead, during his event in Austin earlier this evening, he lashed out at the media. The White House pool report says that Trump began yelling around about how “we have a fake press” and “lots of them are fake and phony.”
Apparently Trump really is going to stick with the narrative that Sondland’s testimony, which destroyed him today, instead somehow exonerated him. No one outside Trump’s deranged base will buy this, and they’re not large enough to save Trump, so this is quite a stupid strategy. You have to wonder if Trump’s handlers are actually telling him that it went well for him today, and an increasingly fragile Trump actually believes it.
In any case, Donald Trump is clearly upset about how the media is reporting on Gordon Sondland’s testimony today. That’s not surprising, considering the media is (accurately) reporting that Sondland has buried Trump. Even Fox News analyst Ken Starr changed his mind today and decided that Trump is guilty. No wonder Trump is going berserk.
