There’s an old saying we’ve all heard that’s attributed to writer and philosopher George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
That’s certainly the case when it comes to failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, who has said in the past that all sorts of people should be locked up for what he considers to be horrible crimes.
For example: The 2016 presidential campaign. In that race for the White House, Trump accused his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton of having improperly handled classified information and led his supporters in chants of “lock her up” on the campaign trail.
But as MSNBC host Jen Psaki noted Sunday, now that the shoe is on the other foot and Trump is facing decades behind bars for allegedly taking hundreds of top secret government documents with him and haphazardly storing them at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Donnie is singing a different tune.
“I want to take a little trip down memory lane,” Psaki said. “The year is 2016 and Donald Trump is very fired up over Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information.”
Cue the montage of Trump excoriating Clinton and vowing, if elected, “no one will be above the law.”
Ironically, Trump had Congress increase the penalties for mishandling classified government information after he defeated Clinton. And now those increases in the sentencing guidelines could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
How’s that for some brutal karma?
Twitter users then joined the online trolling of the Donald.
