Stage 1:
I didn’t do it, nothing happened, Fake News!
Stage 2:
Okay, maybe something happened but I wasn’t there and don’t know what it was.
Stage 3:
All right, could be something happened and I was there but I didn’t know what it was, nobody told me, and anyway somebody else did it, not me, someone who is no longer close.
Stage 4:
Sure, something happened but whatever took place, it wasn’t illegal. I give you my word and the word of my lawyer-fixer Michael Cohen. Ask him. (Has anyone seen Michael?)
Stage 5:
Come to think of it, perhaps I did do something trying to help others but whatever happened it was an accident. I’ll swear to it under oath. (Get that Bible away from me!)
Stage 6: There’s nothing wrong nobody can prove. You know why? Because somebody smarter than you gave out a lot of non-disclosure forms and paid a lot of hush money: what, me worry? (Don’t forget to pay Pecker and tell him to kill those stories!)
Stage 7:
If you have evidence contradicting my statements, bring it on! . . . if something did happen that I accidentally did (or maybe might have done) that was bad, sure, I might have done it…but let’s forget about all that for just a minute—how would you like to be Secretary of _____________ ?
Trump seems to be of the opinion that he paid enough hush money through his fixer, Michael Cohen, to always keep him out of hot water. People who know the truth are silenced through hush money and non-disclosure forms: that’s why he’s always so damn cocky.
He knows how to silence would-be accusers before they have a chance to say anything. He/she cannot talk about Trump’s alleged misbehavior because he/she signed a Non-Disclosure Form and accepted a bribe (er, I mean “hush money”).
Trump says: You can’t impeach a president who tells lies, it’s in the (Russian) Constitution!
FAKE NEWS! WITCH HUNT!
