Leader of the Banned
Beach Fanatic
Trump thought his bluff was strong. He was not expecting a double dog dare, but Comey came through.
Witness intimidation.So the "tapes" were just a bluff against anyone who might say very, very, very bad things about him.
tRump's fear from the begining was was that Comey would tell the truth. His tape comment was intimidation pure and simple. Since 45 is a pathological liar we must assume there are or were tapes until there is evidence proving the opposite.Trump is claiming that his "bluff", if you can call it that, was effective in keeping Comey from lying in his testimony. At the same time, he is claiming that Comey lied in his testimony. You can't have it both ways. You can't praise yourself for a brilliant strategic tactic, and then acknowledge that it didn't work. Can't everyone, and I mean everyone just admit that Comey wasn't the least bit concerned about tapes, he told 100% truth, and he made incriminating statements?
