So why would Trump put that in the letter? Why would Trump assert that? Some people think, &#8220;Trump just can\u2019t help himself. He\u2019s a child. Trump had to put in that he\u2019s innocent, he\u2019s not guilty, he didn\u2019t do anything.&#8221; That\u2019s not what Trump was doing. You have to know Donald Trump. It\u2019s no crime knowing Donald Trump &#8212; and I don\u2019t mean &#8220;know him,&#8221; know him. I mean know how he thinks, how he speaks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-232893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051017-Translating-Trump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051017-Translating-Trump.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051017-Translating-Trump-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>I\u2019ve said it once, I\u2019ve said it many times: There\u2019s nobody in American media that can better understand Donald Trump &#8212; the way he speaks, how he speaks, and the connection he has with his voters &#8212; than your host, me, El Rushbo. I\u2019m gonna tell you, when Trump puts in this letter&#8230; It may not have been wise to do it; I\u2019m not even commenting on that. But I think you always have to remember he\u2019s not a politician and doesn\u2019t care to be. So he\u2019s not trying to go in there and master the system.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s in there to be who he is, and if it blows up the system? Fine. Drain the swamp. However you want to characterize it. What Trump was saying&#8230; Look, no question he\u2019s using that assertion as an opportunity to tell people, \u2019cause Comey\u2019s not telling anybody. I mean, why would Trump put that in there if it\u2019s not true? Can anybody think why somebody&#8230;? Trump has to know that statement\u2019s gonna become &#8212; at some point when these clowns cool off, it\u2019s gonna become a focal point. It\u2019s gonna become a target.<\/p>\n<p>Why would Trump lie about Comey having told him three times he\u2019s not being investigated if he is being investigated? What upside is there for Trump, for there to be a discovery that Comey had not cleared him? Now, given fake news, anybody can make anything up these days and call it news, which happens way too often in the Drive-By Media. What Trump was saying was, &#8220;Even though &#8212; even though &#8212; I am not being pursued, I\u2019m still getting rid of the guy.&#8221; What Trump wanted people to believe, what he is trying to convey was that he\u2019s not the kind of guy who would leave things alone and not do anything.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-232886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Comeytestify-DHS-B-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Comeytestify-DHS-B-1.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Comeytestify-DHS-B-1-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>As long as he\u2019s not in trouble, fine and dandy. Let Comey do what he wants to do. He\u2019s not that kind of guy. What he was saying is, &#8220;Even though Comey\u2019s told me that I didn\u2019t do anything &#8212; he hasn\u2019t found anything &#8212; I still had to get rid of the guy because I find what he\u2019s doing outrageous.&#8221; He was actually trying to credit himself for non-prejudicial thinking. But the way it reads to critics is that Trump\u2019s lost in his narcissism and his ego and just had to tell people. &#8220;He just had to tell people!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He just couldn\u2019t wait for the investigation. He had to tell people that Comey told him he\u2019s not being investigated.&#8221; (laughing) &#8220;Even though you told me three times&#8230;&#8221; So now they\u2019re looking at the that, and they\u2019re gonna find a source somewhere. An anonymous source will say, &#8220;I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what Comey was telling us in the office.&#8221; You know damn well! You can make book on that. You can make book there\u2019s gonna be at least an anonymous source, maybe two who will say, &#8220;No, the director didn\u2019t say that to President Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just get ready for it, \u2019cause you know it\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;ve said it once, I&#039;ve said it many times: There&#039;s nobody in American media that can better understand Donald Trump &#8212; the way he speaks, how he speaks, and the connection he has with his voters &#8212; than your host, me, El Rushbo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
