Trump Still Can’t Get Over His Obsession With Hillary Clinton’s Emails: ‘She Was Guilty On Every Charge’

Donald Trump delivered the most confusing pre-taped interview to Fox Business. The appearance aired on Wednesday morning, and much of the fuss revolves around Trump returning to his favorite punching bag, Hillary Clinton. Yes, the dust hasn’t even settled with Trump’s strike on Syria (Russia and Iran are incensed), yet Trump proves once again that he’s obsessed with Hillary because …. he can’t get over his popular vote loss? It’s mystifying, and he also tells a weird “campfire story” about chocolate cake.

While speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Trump first complained about obstructionism from Congressional Democrats while trying to get his nominees approved in a speedy manner. He bragged about how everyone wants to join his administration, somehow veered onto the subject of FBI Director James Comey, and landed right on top of the Hillary subject while opening her can of emails. This is embarrassing stuff:

“When Jim Comey came out, he saved Hillary Clinton. He saved her life … when he was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge … and then he said she was essentially OK?”

Trump’s either speaking figuratively about “being guilty of every charge,” or he doesn’t realize that Hillary was never actually charged with any crimes. Trump also forgets that Comey kinda did him a solid by reopening the investigation into Clinton’s emails mere weeks before the election. He does express “confidence” in how Comey will handle the investigation into Trump-Russia ties, and for some reason, he also opens fire on former National Security Advisor Susan Rice. He can’t believe that “unmasking” would be part of her job: “Does anybody really believe that? What they did is horrible.”

Here’s some dessert for you. In this clip, Trump reveals how he informed Chinese President Xi Jinping about his missile strike while enjoying “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake.” He’s in his own universe, folks.
