CSI: American Carnage (Wednesday, October 23, 2019)
WASHINGTON – You gotta take a look at this, Donald says, as Stephen pushes aside a mound of rotting debris in front of the Executive Lounge fridge. Donald says, Those burritos aren’t in there. I think Lindsey left em in the bedroom. Stephen, still looking inside the fridge, yells, What’s the green stuff in the black container? Maybe it was a grey container. Some kind of dip? Donald says, I dunno. Bring it here. I already got the chips. Stephen struggles to get the fridge door shut. He pushes away a split plastic bag. Donald says, Will ya get over here, this press thing, with all these ghouls, you know, they are like those ghouls with the sharpened teeth and the stringy hair and they all stink, but I know how to handle them. It’s in the gut. You either got it or you don’t. Stephen puts the container on the side table and sits down next to Donald, who pulls his wrapper tight and hits the play button on the remote. Donald’s press conference resumes. Donald says, This is good, check this part. On the teevee, Donald is sitting in a high-back leather desk chair next to an American flag. He’s looking out at the room and then down at the desktop and then off to the side and back out to the room. He says, There was no pressure whatsoever. So this is a phony investigation. I watched a couple of people on television today talking about it. They were talking about what a phony deal it is, what a phony investigation it is. And Republicans have to get tougher and fight. We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party for the election, which is coming up, a lot of you probably know that, but, where we’re doing very well. We had a record crowd — the history of the arena… Donald pauses the teevee. He says, This is disgusting. Stephen, grabbing a chip, says, Well what is it? It’s green now. What did it start as? What was the color? He tentatively dips his chip. He says, What are those black spots? Donald ignores him. Donald says, You know Mark Levin just laid it all out for people and he says what many people are saying, many people, and, which he says, and I am quoting here, from memory, he says, Washington, very rich for his wealth, in terms of money, used to nail his servants and had these babies all over the place, which is why there are so many Washingtons in the so-called black community. And Kennedy too. Lots of women. Probably right in this room. But that’s okay. That’s the history, which is right there in the books. Then Levin points out, and I quote, talking about Donald J. Trump, he says, While he has been President, there has not been a hint of a scandal. Not a HINT. Who has ever said that before? No scandal! And then Whittaker says, Even if there was a HINT, that abuse of power is not a crime, which is what the phony Constitution says, with it’s phony emoluments, which Obama made a deal for a book. Is that running a business? I’m sure he didn’t even discuss it while he was president. Oh, yeah. He has a deal with Netflix. When did they start talking about that? That’s only, you know, a couple of examples. But other presidents, if you look — other presidents were wealthy. Not huge wealth. George Washington was actually considered a very, very rich man at the time. But they ran their businesses. George Washington, they say, had two desks: He had a presidential desk and a business desk. I don’t think, with this phony emoluments clause — And, by the way, I would say that it’s cost me anywhere from $2 billion to $5 billion to be president — and that’s okay — between what I lose and what I could have made. Which is a lot, a lot. – Wednesday, October 23, 2019
