The startling amateurishness of the Trump team never ceases to amaze me:

You have the resources of the President of the United States at your disposal. You have a tight relationship with the end of the news spectrum that deals less in facts and more in sensationalism (your son-in-law ran a New York tabloid, the National Enquirer runs anything you want, Fox News defends your every errant outburst). You have more multimillionaires working with you than any recent President. You have a direct line to Wikileaks and Moscow if you need something to happen, appearing like it came from somewhere else. And all you need to do is discredit Mueller’s investigations.

So what do you do? You just call up your old buddy Richard the gossip columnist over at the New York Post and impersonate an anonymous source. Do you delegate it to a staffer, maybe someone with communications, legal, or media experience? No, you’ve done this impersonation thing before and you have the world’s most convincing fake accent. You cannot leave this to chance – you give up that coveted 1:30 tee time and make the call yourself. Do you run the text of what you say by anyone to see if it sounds either incredibly racist or maybe even idiosyncratically Trumpian? No, man. Hold my beer. I got this.

Seriously, if Trump was even 1% as competent as Nixon or Putin, we’d be fucked.
