Donald Trump heaped praise on his new attorney general and it turned into an epic self-own for the history books

It’s extremely rare for Donald Trump to talk about anybody else, let alone actually heap praise on them.. So everyone’s ears perked up when Trump took time out of one of his public rambles to address his Attorney General.

Trump went out of the way to praise Todd Blanche for the great work he’s done in his career.

The President even went into specifics. And that’s where things went off the rails. Sound up!

An historic self-own for the ages? These people certainly thought so …

1.

Admitting he’s done things he should have been jailed for.

It’s a start. https://t.co/ujZsjHYWSo

He says the quiet part out loud so often people stopped noticing how insane it sounds.

Just wow. His universe is so different from what humans experience. He lives in his lizard brain, where flaunting your criminal past, cronyism, and outright corruption shows dominance. He thinks he delivered a killer line.

It’s not even delusional. He’s a different species. https://t.co/pCvXDZetV8

Who would brag about that? That’d be like bragging about acing three cognitive tests. Oh, wait…

So, he’s admitting, he should be in jail.
