re: #32 Targetpractice

The big issue they’re facing is the very asshole they’re trying to defend. The smartest thing that Trump could have possibly done would have been to keep silent. Any time a journalist asked him a question, his automatic response should have been to point them to his lawyers who’d belch out a bunch of legalese that said little and revealed less. Odds are that Garland would have responded to such a scenario by sticking with the “We’ll let the court filings tell our story” position and allowed this whole thing to go silent again for weeks or months.

Instead, the loud-mouthed fuck went out on Fifth Ave, doused himself with high-octane, struck a match, and lit himself ablaze while his fans cheered him on.

If Trump hadn’t decided to publicize the search so he could fund raise off of it, it’s likely we wouldn’t even know it happened.
