Where is George C. Scott when you need him? After all, President Merkin Muffley was able to negotiate with the Russians much better than any real president had … at least to date.

Though the twentieth of March may live in infamy, as one of our former presidents so famously stated, “It may be the beginning of the end.” The end of President Donald Trump running the playground with the same fervor as a czar. It marks the day that the FBI confirmed that it is looking for any “links or possible coordination” between the current president, his campaign and the Russians.

FBI director James Comey said March 20 at the House Intelligence Committee hearing in Washington, D.C., that he “promised they would follow the facts wherever they lead.” If they lead to proof that Trump or his people conspired with the Russians to sway the election in his favor, it would be the biggest conspiracy since Watergate.

Trump’s tweets have been acting as fleeting blows, trying to deflect attention from his Russian connections and place it on none other than his favorite adversary, the man he replaced in the White House, Barack Obama.

Comey was quick to shoot down Trump’s tweeted allegations against the former president – allegations that Obama had Trump Tower, his campaign headquarters, wiretapped. Because? Obama hoped to get secrets about Trump’s decisive campaign strategy of name calling and isolating immigrants? Clearly, there was something to gain by these fictitious wiretaps. A laughable accusation at best.

So, for the first time, the bully on the block is backpedaling. Depending on the FBI’s findings, Trump could have the shortest stint as president since William Henry Harrison.

At first, a few folks from the opposition compared Trump to Mussolini. But Mussolini was much more convincing. Mussolini was an aspiring intellectual whose toughness was proven by surviving a mortar bomb explosion in World War 1. Trump is a rich kid from New York who has never been told no, and whose perceived toughness is nothing more than braggadocios banter used as self-serving fuel for his ego.

I’d compare Trump more to Richard Nixon, not his personality, as Nixon was shy, and, not in ability, as, outside of Watergate, Nixon was a great president. After all, he did end the Vietnam War. On the flip side, Trump seems hell-bent on starting wars, a sign of someone who’s never been on a battlefield. I just mean they’re both corrupt.

We’ve heard many times from Trump’s minions that Obama was a mere junior senator before taking on the presidency, and surely Trump’s lack of experience in politics would be compensated with his dashing wit, and luster as a business man. And I hate to admit it, but at first I kind of agreed. In such an already corrupt country, a capitalist haven for blood-sucking bureaucrats, who better to run the country than a capitalist? A man who just so happens to have felonious friends from the Caucasus who enjoy sipping vodka made from winter grains and smoking packs of Winstons as they chew the fat over what to do with Crimea. Good thing Arnold quit “The Apprentice,” since the “Don” could soon be looking for work.

Enter Sally Yates. On Tuesday, March 28, Sally Yates was barred from testifying to Congress about Trump’s connections to Russia by, of course, the Trump administration. Yates, who was fired by Trump back in January for telling the justice lawyers not to defend the president’s first immigration ban, and who was instrumental in getting Michael T. Flynn, a Trump campaign aide, ousted for his connections to Russia, is now seeking to still testify.

On, Friday, March 24, Yates’ lawyer sent a letter to the White House stating so. Her lawyer said that her testimony does not violate the presidential communication privilege. Yates, who was at first asked to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, is now being barred from doing so. Not that it matters now, as Chairman Devin Nunes of California abruptly cancelled last week’s hearings. Oh, and you guessed it, he’s an elephant, though not the elephant in the room. That is obvious at this point. It’s the 45th President of the United States’ connections to the “Commies” that everyone has become reluctant to discuss, sans Sally Yates, who seems to be the only one looking forward to talking. Could it be that Trump is on the ropes already? We shall see.
