he'll just lie. Huckabee-Sanders will just lie. a member of the RW press corps will interrupt any sustained line of questioning.

worse comes to worst, he'll just run away.

Constantly throwing an endless stream of total horseshit out there, so that there's no possible way to counter it all or challenge him on it, in anything resembling a timely fashion.

I'd love to have him in a room with a "normal" person, gone wrong, threatening every one there with an assault rifle. Maybe blowing off a few rounds toward the ceiling, ya know like they do in movies during a bank robbery. If anyone talks...more rounds to the poor ceiling tiles.
No one gets hurt, well not physically.

Let's see if he can hold the piss in his bladder.

It often slips right by everyone in the popular media when President Trump's words don't match his actions; almost as if they just accept that he's lying his ass off.

In this instance, I'm not sure how President Trump arrived at his clinical diagnosis that Mr. Kelley was mentally ill, seeing as how the two men aren't even on the same continent and one of them is dead. But yeah, in Trump's zeal to undo anything his predecessor did, it appears that mentally ill people with violent tendencies will have easier access to firearms during Trump's administration.
