Every Trump Administration Accusation Doubles as a Confession
The politics of projection at work from this crew is really something
The singular truth of the Trump administration is this: Just about any wrongdoing the Trump Team accuses a Democrat of, the Trumps and their allies do more.
Take this week’s news about Rudy Giuliani, caught by hidden cameras as part of Sascha Baron-Cohen’s newest Borat film reclining on a bed with his hand down his pants in the presence of a woman playing a teenage girl (she was actually a 24-year-old actress) — a scene you might expect would raise eyebrows on the Trumpist right, which has thrown in with believers in the bizarre and flatly false QAnon conspiracy theory of a child sex ring run by Democrats. And take Trump himself, who this very week has been using the Justice Department as his personal defense team, arguing that he cannot be sued for defamation by E. Jean Carroll because denying her credible allegation of rape is “within the scope of his office” — and who also has so far refused to submit his DNA for a test that could exonerate him.
