“Since Flynn's guilty plea on Friday morning, Trump has tapped out double-digit tweets making clear that Flynn's decision to cooperate with special counsel Bob Mueller's investigation has no impact on him and, oh yeah, the FBI is super corrupt and bad. Also, the Russia investigation is a hoax. And Hillary Clinton got off easy. The media is bad and dishonest too.

If there is a method to this madness -- and I am on record as being skeptical that there is some sort of deep strategy at work here -- it is to muddy the waters, to distract from the Flynn guilty plea by insisting that he's not at all worried about it and then throwing out lots and lots of other things for his base to focus on/be outraged about.
Which will work for some of Trump's supporters. But, his rhetoric doesn't match reality -- and it's important to note that because facts still matter (or at least they should.)”

The truth and facts don’t matter to Trump and his supporters, of course.
And the fact is Trump and his supporters are very worried, they simply lack the courage and honesty to admit it.
