【Watch Ava Online】

Professor Trump has been doing some extensive Googling recently,Watch Ava Online and he'd like to share the results of his research.

On the second day of Paul Manafort's trial, Trump took to Twitter to purge the contents of his disordered mind and come to his former campaign manager's defense.

Manafort, Trump complained, was being treated worse than famous mobster "Alfonse" Capone. (His spelling, not mine.)

"Looking back on history, who was treated worse, Alfonse Capone, legendary mob boss, killer and "Public Enemy Number One," or Paul Manafort, political operative & Reagan/Dole darling," Trump wrote in a tweet.

Alphonse Capone, who spelled his name with a ph, not an F, and was best known as "Al" Capone, likely suffered a wee bit more than Manafort himself. Capone was sent to notoriously violent Alcatraz for his crimes, where he suffered from paresis, a late stage of syphilis. The gangster experienced serious mental deterioration as a result of the untreated disease and was later considered certifiably insane.

Paul Manafort, who is being held in solitary confinement, has otherwise bragged about his jail stay and his "VIP treatment." For what it's worth, Manafort appears to have done far more than Capone to disrupt the global world order, including helping to prop up ghoulish Russia-backed puppets in Ukraine.

Also of note today: Trump called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end Mueller's special investigation.

Ugh, why do we have to have a constitutional crisis right before the weekend?
