He really seems nervous about something
In October 2015, the right wing think-tank Fusion GPS was hired by the alt-right Washington Free Beacon to dig up dirt on both Hillary and Trump.
Christopher Steele was the investigator for Fusion GPS.
The Free Beacon either didn’t like what Fusion GPS (Steele) found or Fusion GPS found nothing so the contract was ended.
In April 2016, The DNC, acting on behalf of the Hillary campaign, authorized Democratic attorney Marc Elias to hire Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump.
Christopher Steele was the investigator for the Hillary campaign.
Again either what was found by Steele was of no value or they didn’t want to use the information.
At some point Joh McCain was given the “dossier” by someone and tried to use whatever information it contained to force Trump to quit the race.
Trump told McCain to “stick it up you ass.”
So McCain turned the “dossier” over to Comey.
Trump fired Comey when he learned after being sworn in a the president that Comey was using the “dossier” to investigate all things Trump.
Muller was then hired to investigate Trump “by any means necessary” and the rest will be history.
There’s a tape (we’ve been told by the DA hissowndamnself) of Robert Kraft getting at least one, possibly two handjobs in FLA. Kraft hangs with Trumpf a lot. It would be unsurprising if there weren’t tapes of T. getting something somewhere, too.
So I’ve been thinking the whole time that when he says anything over and above his usual level of appalling, he’s usually trying to distract attention from elsewhere.
I’m not a big fan of Robert Reich, but I found this in Carl Newman’s Twitter feed:

With every petty attack on John McCain, Trump diverts attention from the fact that his budget cuts:
–$1.5 trillion from Medicaid
–$845 billion from Medicare
–$25 billion from Social Security”
That is, his budget proposal puts down in black and white with his name on it the fact that several of his major repeated campaign promises were lies.
