Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is engaging in "an epic troll" of Democrats enraged by his firing of FBI Director James Comey amid the agency's probe of Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.
On his daily show, Limbaugh said Trump was taunting Democrats with his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov a day after the bombshell Comey ouster.
"I mean, what an epic troll this is," Limbaugh said. "Can we agree that Donald Trump is probably enjoying this more than anybody wants to admit or that anybody knows?"
And in response, Democrats are "going bananas — completely, totally unhinged — on the road to literal insanity," he said, adding: "He's doing everything he can to drive them even crazier, and they're falling for it each and every occasion. "
"Trump has totally embarrassed every one of these people inside the Washington Beltway," Limbaugh said, noting, after months of investigations, there is "not a shred of evidence" of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
"And yet [Democrats] believe it," he said. "They cannot, will not blame themselves. . . . They really believe Trump fired Comey because he might have been getting close, under the asinine belief that firing Comey's gonna stop the investigation."
