2. That fat fool has bought his own BS

He was never a master of any deal-making. All he knows how to do is bully and steal.

But he had someone write a book about deals, slapped his name on it, and thought that made him some kind of deal-making genius.

It didn't. It just made him a typical two-bit poseur.

4. Watergate prosecutor tells 'delusional' Trump 'you had 4 years to find all the Russia documents you

TFG wanted to trade the stolen documents for some mythical documents on the Russia investigation that would somehow prove that Putin and Russia did not help elect TFG. As Jill Wine Banks noted if these documents existed, TFG had four years as POTUS to find and release these documents. If these documents existed, Durham as a US Attorney could have gotten these documents. TFG wanted to offer to trade the stolen documents for documents that did not exist and when the National Archives fail to deliver non-existent documents, TFG would then claim that he is entitled to keep the stolen documents

Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks can't figure out why Donald Trump was demanding to exchange the Mar-a-Lago documents for the information on the Russia probe....

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday evening, she explained that it's simply who Donald Trump is.

"He is definitely delusional in thinking this. First of all, as you noted, if he had such documents, if there were such documents, if they possibly existed, he had four years when he had every right to ask for them and to get them," she said. "My suspicion is they do not exist. So, let's take that first. Secondly, you cannot steal something to barter. It does go back to what happened in Ukraine where he was trying to say, okay, I'll give you what you're legally entitled to, the funding, if you do this terrible thing for me and make up something about Joe Biden. That is not how America is supposed to be doing business. That is illegal on every aspect."

"It should be that everybody in America realizes that there are no such documents, and even if there were, he can't trade stolen documents that he has no right to possession," said Wine Banks. "This goes back a long way. The Presidential Records Act was a result of Richard Nixon wanting to take tax deductions for having documents and trying to leave the White House when he resigned with the tapes. That's why we have this law, to give it to journalists and historians, to the American people, not to the person who created them as president."
