Trump himself just confirmed his White House’s story about Comey’s firing was a lie;
It took less than 48 hours.
Update: I like this last paragraph in a Slate article about Trump's anger problem:
The problem with a doctrine of wrath—in the presidency as in other walks of life—is that the rationale so clear to the boiling brain can appear ridiculous to the outside observer. The administration’s babbling excuses have a knee-jerk quality; it’s as if the president so desired to disappear his Putin problem that he was willing to embrace whatever absurd explanation came to hand (and then became surprised—and angry all over again—when we didn’t fall for it). Don’t look at Russia! our commander in chief shouts in fury, and of course our gaze stays fixed on Moscow. Such transparent terror is contagious: Republican senators this week tried to make the Trump–Russia hearings about the travel ban, leaks, and Clinton’s emails—anything but Trump and Russia. After a certain point, this is no longer strategy. It is reflex. It is a child covering his eyes to make the loathsome object in front of him vanish. Trump may be a politician, but he is also a man consumed with desperate, narcissistic rage. Easing that pain will always be his primary goal.

What Trump doesn't understand is that when he talks on almost any subject he appears not only clueless but stupid. His interview with the economist is the latest. Matthew Yglesias has beaten me to the punch on that. But think Health care , the job of the president bombing Syris bases he is a complete embarrassment.
This is merely another piece of evidence.
Steve,
If you can find it look at the Baldwin send ups where the woman playing the party of Kelly is involved. Hilarious.
