Cringe-worthy compliments to the president are depressing

MGB: We knew that Miller, like Bannon, was a bit of a "nationalist." Now we know exactly who is it that scratches Trump's fascist itch (much in the same way we suspected that Summers held Obama back from being a true progressive on the Great Recession response).  Miller is Wormwood to Trump's King Theodan.  If  Mr. Kelly knew what was good for Trump, he would banish this idiot into the wilderness, where I am sure David Duke will find him.

The thing is, Miller is right.  Trump can work a crowd and understand the P.R.  He is simply ignorant on government and he thinks this is a bonus rather than a down-check.  Miller will never tell him otherwise and his kids simply are not smart enough to know any different.

Trump can only run around in his new clothes for long.  Mueller wants to talk to him.  If Trump is lucky, Mueller will lay out the evidence and let Trump respond.  If Mueller wants to be wicked, he will simply let Trump talk, because by now, Mueller likely knows enough for whatever action is appropriate, which will be a big shock to FoxNews viewers if Trump somehow admits the truth and arranges Censure (assuming he made himself bullet-proof on money laundering and his kids agree to take the fall).  I don't think Trump will concede the point so easily, so we are in for an interesting year, unless Trump agrees to a 25th Amendment break in the action.  Let Miller and Fox spin that.
