Are you really this dumb? Do you really think Trump is questioning the validity of it? He’s most certainly not.
Let’s see, play this out dopey. I wonder what GOP Senator confirmed this for the Times...and why would this Senator tell the press this?
I guarantee the next thing that will happen is that Trump will be questioned about whether he is questioning the validity of the tape. It will force him to deny or authenticate it’s authenticity. If he denies it, I mean it’s an audiotape that is clearly him, so he’s a liar. (He’ll probably do this) If he acknowledges it, then we have a renewed focus on it with him admitting it and in the wake of all of these Senators and Congressmen having to resign from committees, etc, there will be calls for Trump to do the same for the same reasoning. Regardless, either way, it doesn’t matter, it brings the story back to the forefront and the focus back on Trump and off of Congress and specifically the wave of Dem Congressman getting killed by this stuff the last several weeks.
It’s a run to parlay the emotional tide of the #MeToo campaign back on Trump to try and get him out of the WH. This is how you strategically plant a story within the media and use it and them for a political end goal. The story doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be reported. I wonder if that GOP Senator’s name rhymes with Ham, Pain, Dorker, or Bass? Newsflash, gotcha politics don’t work with Trump, he is not defined by politics like every other politician. It will be a further distraction to try and take away from Tax Reform.
I honestly don’t think some of you all realize how the game is played. Nothing like this is what it is on it’s face. It’s 2-5 moves on the chessboard later. Layers of Machiavellian subterfuge is the key when doing these things and this has several layers to it. This is the stuff I live for. I applaud whoever came up with this one. Solid move, but they’re still playing the wrong game. They’re using Napoleonic Tactics against a Blitzkrieg. Ineffective with this President and this man. It would crush any other normal politician though.
