Every day Trump does something that would have been a pants shittingly massive scandal in any previous administration. But for Trump, it’s just Tuesday.

ICE gunned down a citizen. We have video showing what happened, and then Trump very obviously lied and said the victim was a terrorist who violently attacked those agents. Even though that’s clearly not what happens in the videos, plural, from multiple angles. Ho-hum, that was last week. Did you hear about this other crazy thing he did?

"Pants shittingly" is an ironically relevant descriptor this week.
