8/23/18: The president sits down for a softball chat with Human Bobble Head Doll, Ainsley Earhardt, of Fox News.
Trump gets an A+ from Trump.
Apparently, he’s fixated on her shapely legs. When she asks him how he thinks he’s doing as president, Trump is quick to reply. “I’d give myself an A+.” Earhardt’s empty head wobbles on its spring.
It appears she agrees.

The job of a Fox News commentator when Trump talks: Listen and grin. |
Trump can’t see it because he’s a delusional nut job. But his grades are getting worse by the hour. He says again that Paul Manafort is a guy for whom he has “great respect.” Manafort worked for years for Ukrainian politicians in the pocket of Vladimir Putin. He’s just been convicted on charges of hiding $30 million dollars in offshore bank accounts to avoid paying taxes.
Trump again expresses anger with his Attorney General. Why did Jeff Sessions recuse himself in the Russia investigation! Trump can’t believe it! “What kind of man is this?” he fumes.
Bobble Head Ainsley wobbles her empty head.
Trump informs her that he only knew about payoffs to the porn star and Playboy Bunny at a “later time.”
If the Bobble Head could actually think, she would have to ask just when that would have been.
Or: she could have asked, “Mr. President, you said on Air Force One, that you didn’t know anything about the payments? Why should all our catatonic viewers at Fox News believe you now?”
Trump implies that the “Justice” Department is crooked and rigged and unfair and run by members of the Deep State. Prosecutors, he grumbles, just put people on the stands who are going to lie.
Ainsley flashes a vacuous smile.
You might expect her to ask, “Mr. President, Manafort was convicted on eight felony counts. The jury heard the evidence and decided he was a crook. Are you saying you have no faith in the U.S. justice system?”
She doesn’t ask. Her head bobbles again.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SESSIONS fires back. Before heading to the White House for an already-scheduled meeting, he releases the following statement:
While I am Attorney General, the
actions of the Department of Justice will
not be improperly influenced by political considerations [emphasis added]. I demand the
highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action. However, no
nation has a more talented, more dedicated group of law enforcement
investigators and prosecutors than the United States. I am proud to serve with them and proud of the work we have done in
successfully advancing the rule of law.
Allow me to explain to all those in red MAGA hats: Here you have the Attorney General of the United States making it clear he believes the president is trying to improperly influence current investigations. Sessions is defending the integrity of his department and warning Trump.
He will uphold the rule of law.
