The Trump White House was unlike anything I have ever seen — nor will likely see again. It was unprofessional, intolerable, idiotic, chaotic and filled with innuendo. It was a grade-B Hollywood production led by a self-loathing narcissist with delusions of adequacy.

No one in that administration seemed to even understand U.S. law. A quick example: Trump told us he was going to send U.S. troops to the Southern border. He was unaware of the fact that the Posse Comitatus Act precludes him from doing so — unless a congressional waiver is secured. This has been done in the past.

I remember speaking with one of Trump’s assistants about this in the lower press offices with another reporter. “Is this like a rule, or a policy?” he asked. I explained it was a law — one heavily supported by Republicans historically. He was unaware. “That’s a law?” he questioned. Then we asked a few other questions and at the end of the conversation the man turned to me and said, “I’ll get back to you about that Hakuna Matata thing.”

A Trump administration official compared the Posse Comitatus Act to the “Lion King,” didn’t know what the law was and never got back to me. The next day he seemingly forgot it, so I had to ask another Trump official about it. When I said it seemed like there was some really poor planning at the White House, he just laughed and said, “You give us too much credit. We don’t have any plans.”

God. That was four years of absolute batshit insanity. Fuck all the journalists that allowed that demented rapist shitstain to ever claim any faculty at all. Talking to you NYT, WaPo, CNN, Chuck Todd, et. al.
