Fox & Friends Legal Expert Perfectly Articulates on Air Why the President Is Screwed

President Trump's world is crumbling around him. To be clear, that's not a reference to the country he's running (though it's not doing great), or his inner circle (though that's also not doing great)—the only thing that truly matters to Trump, his beloved morning television programs, are no longer an impenetrable safe space.

On Thursday, Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on Fox & Friends and accurately assessed the details of Michael Cohen's sentencing, which will send him to prison for three years. Napolitano noted that "the president ordered and paid for Michael Cohen to commit a crime," which is also a crime. Though this would seem to be a common-sense conclusion, it was not treated as such by the Fox and Friends hosts, who realized their beloved president was probably watching and freaking out like Truman after he discovers he's in a TV show.

The fact that Trump's impending legal troubles were summed up by Napolitano, a conspiracy theorist who previously asserted that the British wiretapped Trump as part of a New World Order arrangement involving President Obama, makes the clip particularly enthralling. At one point, a flustered Brian Kilmeade jumps in to save the day with a rambling defense that would make one of Trump's rally speeches sound coherent:

Well if like, for example, Reverend Wright is speaking out, making candidate Obama look bad, and someone walks up to Reverend Wright and says, "Hey, can you stop making the senator look bad? He's running for president." What does that have to do with the campaign? But yet it is—that might influence how I vote.

Napolitano, who, again, is not a voice of reason on practically anything, hastily swatted down whatever that was supposed to mean, as you can see in the full clip below:

A day prior to this Fox & Friends oopsie, President Trump apparently didn't bother showing up to work until the early afternoon, presumably because he was watching TV. If he can't even tune into Fox & Friends anymore, he might have to start his day ... in the morning.
