‘Will See This Played at Trial’: Megyn Kelly Praised For Letting Trump ‘Confess’ During Interview

Note that the praise was not especially earnest.
This is my favorite part because on the surface it seems as if he’s stupid enough to think that tossing in a casual “you know, this is just like, my opinion bro” is going to shield him.
But I think what’s really going on here is Trump’s trying to prime the idea in his base that if he’s guilty of anything it’s just not understanding the law… Ignorance of the law is not a legal defense but it definitely wouldn’t stop him from getting his base to embrace it as the defacto talking point since he doesn’t have anything else.
Except when he was recorded talking to the reporter to whom he was showing the documents, he admitted to knowledge of the law.
It worked even on democrats when he was in the office.
That's why calling him stupid is so dangerous. Most people stupid get away with a lot of things.
Trump is classically stupid, in that he is uneducated, illiterate, and incurious. But there's more than one kind of intelligence, and he displays large amounts of cunning, conniving, and a sense of showmanship to impress and inspire other classically stupid people.
That's why writing him off is so dangerous.
See, I really think people should stop seeing some huge agenda in everything this guy and similar people say/do. He's just plain idiotic and it's plainly idiotic people voting for candidates like him. Still dangerous, but just dangerously dumb in the end.
It is hilarious that he and his followers think he can just "this is all a big misunderstanding" his way out of this.
Either he's the dumbest fucking person on the planet. Or he's really shitting bricks behind the scene.
