Trump was on Faux and Friends this morning spouting lies and nonsense.  But that’s just everyday Trump.  Afterwards he did a remarkable press gaggle on the North Lawn and it was an episode of Trump Unhinged.  Some tidbits:

On Faux and Friends: Kim Jung Un – “Hey, he is the head of a country and I mean he is the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”

In the gaggle: “You don’t understand sarcasm.  I was kidding.”

On the inspector general’s report of the Comey and the Clinton email scandal, he said the report (which was not about him or his campaign) “completely exonerated” him and his campaign, even though it did nothing of the kind.  The he repeated the “no collusion” mantra about 30 times while insulting the CNN reporter in front of him.

On separating children from their parents at the border, he repeated the already debunked falsehood that “the Democrats” passed the horrible law to separate kids at the border and that the press should ask “the Democrats” to change the law.  When it was pointed out that the GOP had control of both houses and the White House he deflected.  When asked why he didn’t sign an executive order to stop the separations, he lied and again and said an executive order can’t change it.  Of course THERE IS NO LAW that forces separation of families at ports of entry.  That’s a new policy STARTED BY TRUMP.

It went on and on.  It was like watching a morphing of Bullworth and Wag the Dog.  The lies, insults, and personal attacks just came in a continuous stream.  Here’s what’s crazy – it’s pretty clear now that Comey’s actions, against FBI policy, at the very least shaved points off of Hillary’s numbers.  And Donald Trump just called for the jailing of the very guy who helped put him in office.

We are clearly in an episode of the Twilight Zone in high repeat.
