If there is one thing that Donald Trump is known for, it’s posting epically incoherent commentaries on social media that are simultaneously hysterical and frightening. And this Thanksgiving isn’t any different. The Whiner-in-Chief<\/a><\/strong> couldn’t refrain from dispensing his trademark brand of anti-American negativity when supposedly wishing<\/a><\/strong> the nation a happy holiday, along with self-serving inferences about how we are failing and going in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Past examples of Trump’s Thanksgiving tirades include the year when he was asked what he was most thankful for and he replied himself<\/a><\/strong>. And then there was the year that he insulted the troops for Thanksgiving<\/a><\/strong> (and also thanked himself). Last year Trump was too consumed with fury over his “Big Lie”<\/em> about the election<\/a><\/strong> to celebrate Thanksgiving. This year Fox News joined the War on Thanksgiving<\/a><\/strong> by criticizing President Biden for wanting to spend the holiday with his family.<\/p>\n

Despite that record of unrelenting holiday derp, Trump may have outdone himself this year. On Wednesday he posted a tweet<\/a><\/strong> (via his Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>) that sinks fathoms below even his pathetically low standards. He babbled that…<\/p>\n

“The Unselect Committee issued a subpoena to Bernie Kerik, an American Patriot and great former Police Commissioner of New York City, for its Jan. 6th Witch Hunt, but didn\u2019t realize what they were demanding is a massive trove of evidence of Voter Fraud. According to Bernie\u2019s lawyer, these documents show significant indicators of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, but have remained hidden from the public. It is exactly what the Unselect Committee should be interested in\u2014if this was a real investigation.<\/p>\n

“Bernie wants to comply with the subpoena with a public hearing, and asked me to waive attorney-client privilege so Bernie can testify and provide documents, which I grant him. The Unselect Committee will not like what they asked for!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s a lot to unpack in that terse discharge. Let’s begin with Trump unveiling another of his infantile nicknames that he imagines are brilliant putdowns. He calls the bipartisan Congressional Select Committee investigating his culpability for the January 6th insurrection “Unselect.”<\/em> That’s the sort of wit for which he will go down in history with hapless comic trolls who never made it out of the third grade.<\/p>\n

The subject of Trump’s Twantrum is Bernie Kerik, a Rudy Giuliani henchman<\/a><\/strong> who spent three years in prison after pleading guilty to eight felony charges, and was later pardoned by Trump. That’s the sort sort of cretin that Trump regards as a “patriot.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump is in a tizzy because Kerik was subpoenaed by the Committee, but consoled by his delusion that Kerik has “a massive trove of evidence of Voter Fraud”<\/em> that he thinks will be revealed should he testify. Of course, this Committee isn’t investigating Trump’s election “Big Lie”<\/em> fantasies and is unlikely to waste time with Kerik’s alleged evidence. And Trump’s assertion that Kerik has been hoarding proof of fraud that has been “hidden from the public”<\/em> for nearly a year is laughably absurd. If they actually had such evidence, why have they been keeping secret for so long?<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Trump is exuding confidence that this is such a dramatic turning point that he is granting Kerik a waiver of attorney-client privileges. That’s awfully generous of him. Never mind that Kerik is not an attorney and never represented Trump, so there is no such applicable privilege to waive. For the record, the Committee subpoenaed Kerik because<\/a><\/strong> he…<\/p>\n

“…reportedly participated in a meeting on January 5, 2021, at the Willard Hotel in Washington D.C., in which Rudolph Giuliani, Stephen Bannon, John Eastman, and others discussed options for overturning the results of the November 2020 election such as, among other things, pressuring Vice President Pence not to certify the electoral college results.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kerik is disputing those allegations. Which is peculiar because he previously admitted<\/a><\/strong> that “his firm billed the Trump campaign more than $55,000 for rooms for the legal team [and] was later reimbursed, records show.”<\/em><\/p>\n

So this all just more desperate noise from Trump and his minions as they try to muddy the waters with deflections and lies. If Kerik follows through on his promise to testify before the Committee, we will see if Trump’s prediction that the Committee “will not like what they asked for”<\/em> comes to pass. But if history is any guide it will be Trump who doesn’t like the results.<\/p>\n
