Donald Trump, America’s “most fabulous whiner<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em> (in his own words) is wallowing in his own victimhood again. It’s a character flaw that has been prominent throughout his public life. In his paranoid, narcissistic fog he truly believes that everyone is out to get him.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

In a frantic Saturday afternoon tweet<\/a><\/strong> fraught with desperation (and posted by his Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>), Trump whined petulantly that…<\/p>\n

“The Communist Democrats are engaging in yet another Witch Hunt, this time going after my Administration\u2019s unprecedented and incredible coronavirus response, despite the fact that, sadly, more Americans have died this year from Covid than in all of 2020.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can always tell when Trump is triggered by the way he hurls absurd adjectives like “Communist”<\/em> around as if he actually knows what they mean. But in this case he also correctly acknowledges that his response to the COVID pandemic was “unprecedented”<\/em> (as in negligent and incompetent beyond anything that preceded it) and “incredible”<\/em> (as in having no credibility whatsoever)<\/p>\n

What’s more, Trump reveals that he has absolutely no idea how pandemics work. The reason that fatalities have persisted through this year is precisely because of his malfeasance. He lied about its severity early on<\/a><\/strong>, then refused to advocate mitigating measures such as masks and vaccines. As a result, this is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated, who are predominantly Trump supporters<\/a><\/strong> and Fox News viewers<\/a><\/strong>. But he was just getting started…<\/p>\n

“It is a Witch Hunt that\u2019s been going on for years. Why don\u2019t they investigate Crooked Hillary, when so much has now been proven about her and her campaign\u2019s lies and dealings with Russia to smear me and spy on my campaign? I\u2019m telling Peter Navarro to protect executive privilege and not let these unhinged Democrats discredit our great accomplishments. The Witch Hunts must end!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course. It’s a “Witch Hunt.”<\/em> And that makes it the perfect opportunity to deflect by bringing up preposterous and previously debunked allegations against Hillary Clinton. Then Trump finally gets around to what set him off. His sycophantic fan boy, Peter Navarro, has received a subpoena. According to Politico<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“A congressional committee investigating the Trump administration\u2019s response to the Covid-19 pandemic issued a subpoena for former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Thursday for failing to respond to document requests. […] The committee is probing whether former Trump administration officials mishandled the federal response to the pandemic, specifically whether it interfered with its own health agencies\u2019 work and how it attempted to change its messaging to downplay the threats posed by the virus.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As usual, Trump is stonewalling an investigation that an innocent person would embrace as an opportunity to be exonerated. But Trump knows he’s guilty, so he’s attempting to invoke executive privilege, just as he has with Steve Bannon and his other partners in crime, despite the fact that he is no longer president and has no legal claim to it. The documents that Congress is seeking belong to the American people. So Navarro can look forward to a federal indictment should he choose to defy the subpoena.<\/p>\n

As for Trump, his demand that the “Witch Hunt”<\/em> end is going to go unheeded for a very good reason: It has been uncommonly successful at finding actual witches. His campaign and administration has accounted for far more federal indictments<\/a><\/strong> than any other president. And there are more to come. Including for Trump himself, the Warlock in chief.<\/p>\n
