(36,927 posts)How stupid do you have to be to not know something is wrong when Trump tells you to tell his own lawyer something. The reason Trump asked him to begin with was because Goodhair is dumb enough to fall for it.

I bet, to him, it sounds like: "Golly gee you guys. The president was just protecting America when he told us we had to 'talk with Rudy' first."
