We need a new word for "unhinged."

I watched Trump's interview on Fox News so you don't have to

His billionaire-ness on Fox News

With just about anything attached in any way to Donald Trump, you don’t even know where to start.  But his interview last night with Sean Hannity on Fox News is in a class of exactly one.  I looked for a transcript online today, so I could quote from the interview, but there isn’t one.  In fact, it’s hard to find the whole thing from beginning to end, because it’s such a target-rich environment.  Nearly all the sources featuring the interview just run their favorite clips.

Where do you start?  We’ve all heard about Trump’s out-of-the-blue speculation that the FBI searched Mar a Lago because they were looking for Hillary Clinton’s emails.  We’ve heard his explanation of the process of declassification of secret documents just by “thinking about it.”  But receiving far less coverage has been his rant against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who yesterday filed a 222-page lawsuit against Trump, his three adult children, and the Trump Organization for fraud, lying on official documents, and a whole host of other charges. 

So, let’s start right there. Trump complains that James has been out to get him for years.  “Her whole campaign was based on this, and then she came after us,” Trump began in response to yet another gelatinous question from lapdog Hannity.  “We’ve been going over this for years, and I actually thought because our values are really high, the company is great, like places like this [turns to indicate the gold-leaf ornamentation on the wall behind him] so many other places that I have like this, frankly, I mean, just to do among the finest places in the world, I actually thought that they would never bring a case, and she brought it.  And the reason I thought she didn’t have a case, I was of the impression she wanted to settle, but I had a problem because how do you pay something even it’s a small amount of money if you’re not guilty?” 

It was on September 15 that Trump’s lawyers sat down with the office of the New York Attorney General and tried to settle the case before it was filed.  Exactly one week later, Trump acts all surprised that this terrible thing has happened to him.
