Monday was just Mondaying along doing its usual Monday stuff, and then former Donald Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg turned to Monday and yelled, “Hold my antidepressants!”


Basically, and this is the best way to explain what happened Monday: Nunberg received a subpoena for email records between him and former Trump adviser Roger Stone and Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, and Nunberg went white-frat-boy apeshit. He called every news station that would listen to him and went on a full college-boy temper tantrum. Seriously, he spoke to the Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, Vox, Yahoo! and some local New York news channel called Spectrum News NY1. It was the latter interview in which he called White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, aka Suckabee, a fat slob.

For the better half of the evening news cycle, Nunberg went full bizarro Oprah and gave everybody a car (if the car was a sad public rant about how he won’t be doing anything required by the subpoena from special counselor Robert Mueller in the Trump Russia investigation).


If Nunberg weren’t so damn full of himself, it would have been a public meltdown, and maybe it still was, but it wasn’t a sympathetic plea from a beaten man—this was a full-on Kanye-midshow stream of consciousness rant that Nunberg himself was in on.

“Like, how ballsy is this?” Nunberg gloated during his interview with Yahoo! Finance. “This is like Donald Trump Roger Stone. Right?”

Here are some of the best hits from Nunberg’s media blitz:


Nunberg was so off the rails that CNN anchor Erin Burnett asked him if he’d been drinking.


Burnett asked him if he’d had anything else, you know, besides alcohol. To which Nunberg replied: “No. Besides my meds ... antidepressants ... is that OK?”

I’m still confused about it all. I don’t know if Nunberg is failing spectacularly or winning miserably, but either way I admire his white-boy elitism that allows him to thumb his nose at the special counsel. But my hope is still that some of this, or all of this, lands him firmly in jail.
