He was massively lying before he got on the plane, lies like we've never seen before.

Correct, we won’t hear a thing about it.

No questions about Trump’s health, no questions about Trump’s mental decline.

one which has an "elevator" up to the cabin. Time for another "executive order" to Boeing for that new "elevator" for another new Air Force One airplane all at taxpayer expense.

NYT: "President Trump made an agile and impressive recovery as he skirted an obstacle that some say Democrats had left in his path on the steps of Air Force One today..."

he thinks nobody sees/notices all of his life history of lies, crimes, and sordidities. He thinks that he gets away with everything, that when things are over they're gone. He didn't realize that the fishbowl means every big and little thing will be scrutinized to death. In my Boomer adolescence, reading the slew of books about HITLER was de rigueur, fascinating, and massive availability. KRASNOV will have a massive library of his crappy life.
