Donald J. Trump boasts among other things about his steel-trap memory. It’s the “best,” isn’t that right, Mr. President?<\/p>\n

Well, the president put out a tweet today saying that — despite what he said on national TV a year ago — he didn’t fire FBI Director James Comey over the “Russia thing.”<\/p>\n

Ohhh, no!<\/em> His firing of Comey had to do with the Hillary Clinton email matter and the way the FBI was handling it — or so he says at this moment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hold on! He told NBC News’s Lester Holt a year ago that he canned Comey because of the investigation he was leading into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russians who meddled in our 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n

And don’t you remember what Trump told Russian government visitors to the White House? He said he fired Comey because he is a “nut job” and because he wanted to take pressure off from the Russia probe.<\/p>\n

In some circles that could be construed as an obstruction of justice. Hmm. Who knows? Maybe the special counsel appointed to examine the “Russia thing” will make that determination. Or … maybe not!<\/p>\n

But the president’s penchant for tweeting these issues gives many of us pause to wonder: Does he know what he’s talking about?<\/p>\n

And is the president’s memory all that he cracks it up to be?<\/p>\n\n
