When I first started working on this week’s Freak Out Friday, I thought the week was going fairly well for Trump. But it rapidly deteriorated and by the end it has been a crap storm of trouble. Started out okay, though.
1) He Should Send Rachel Maddow a Nice Fruit Basket—Having created a Twitter storm over her statement that she had Trump’s tax returns, it turned out that she had exactly one, from 2005, in which he really did pay a reasonable amount of taxes. This of course was a major kneecap to his foes and a huge “Glory, Hallelujah” to his supporters. Apparently having forgotten Trump’s own assertions during the debate that he didn’t pay taxes, putting yet another lie at his doorstep, the Trumpies declared triumph in the ongoing debate over his refusal to release his tax returns. Of course, the fact that a single return was released proves nothing, and the fact that returns of more recent vintage, including those that might well prove various connections to foreign powers remains hidden away, likewise goes past them. But hey, on train Trump, you seize hold of whatever triumphs you can get.
