"Me! Me! Me!"

There's no maniac like an egomaniac, and there's no egomaniac like Dolt 45, our fake president.

You may recall that a few months back, a couple UCLA basketball players on a team trip to China were arrested for shoplifting.  (Among the players was LiAngelo Ball, brother of the Laker's Lonzo Ball and son of the the stage-daddy LaVar Ball.)  A week later, the players were released and on their way home, and the Disagreeable Don took sole credit for this miracle of diplomacy:

Donald J. Trump

It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..

"IT WAS ME!"  Well, it turns out it wasn't.  By the time Cheeto Jesus got involved, the charges were already dropped, the players were released, their passports were returned, they'd checked back into their hotel and had booked their flights back home.   Anything Donnie did was strictly after the fact.

The "I Alone" president likes to give himself undeserving credit for all sorts of things.  Yesterday he did it again.  Asked what might have led to North Korea's apparent willingness to enter into talks with South Korea, he gave a one-word answer:  "ME!"

Sure, Donnie.  Whatever ever you say.

Louis XIV supposedly said, "L'etat, c'est moi."  Trump has the same mindset and the same taste for gold-plated everything, but it would be more accurate for him to say, "Le menteur, c'est moi."
