Trump: a monkey that escaped from a cocaine study [View all]

NPR interviewed an editor from The National Review this morning who said that Trump’s lawyers act like they have no control over Trump, that he is like an escaped monkey from a cocaine study.

I think the editor’s name was Jonah Goldberg.

It was in regards to Trump being interviewed by Mueller.

With all due apologies to monkeys, I thought that the analogy was pretty funny, especially coming from a conservative.
