I don't believe it. Sociopaths *never* "feel really, really bad" about throwing long-time friends under the bus.

Don't worry, Mr. Trump, when the investigation is over the two of you can share a beautiful prison cell.

It's a smoke signal. He's telling Flynn to be a good boy, keep his mouth shut, and Daddy will take care of him.

It's either that, or Trump has gone totally nutter. Good insight by the way.

Agreed. We shouldn't make fun of the mentally ill by comparing them to Trump.

In all honesty, this kind of stuff is not amusing and really quite disgusting. Mental illness is not a joke in either direction.

That said, Trump really is not cut out to be a politician, as most of us are more than aware. I don't doubt that he has a few people that he feels special loyalty to, for whatever reason. Apparently Flynn is one of those people. Either that or the Russian connection is strong through Flynn and he feels underwater without Flynn around to help. I could also see it as a combination of both.

In the private sector, if someone is cleared of something, you can bring them back. Might not be great, but it won't sink your company completely. But here? By the time Flynn is "cleared," it will be a year or more from now. Things just don't work the same in Washington, Mr. Trump. And it's not because everyone is against you; that's just because real investigations take time and you can't make them go away.

Possibly.

Consider.

"I was stabbed in the back by the loser Dems and treacherous GOP!"
vs.
"I'm a loser who couldn't do jack with the deck stacked in my favor."

Which is a much more palatable narrative for his ego?

No. Just no. Flynn should be in jail not back in the White House.

With Trump, like Zaphod Beeblebrox, maybe he can be in both at the same time!

He could pardon Flynn before the investigation concludes, if signs are it looks bad...

This in itself would look terrible in the public eye if he actually did so, not that he'd care.

Agreed (with both of you).
