“They shouldn’t be having public hearings,” said acting president of the united states Donald J. Trump today, about a week after he demanded public hearings.

In the same mouth-diarrhea spew today, Trump also said he’s thinking of visiting Russia soon for state ceremonies honoring Soviet heroes at May Day. More on that below, from the poor journalists covering this spectacle live in Washington.

Trump calls people who testified against him “Never Trumpers”; there’s no evidence for this (he seems to be redefining the word to mean anyone who criticizes him). He says nobody has firsthand knowledge here (wrong). He calls the phone call “perfect.”
