Former President Donald Trump faces the prospect of multiple, separate criminal trials in 2024, as he seeks the GOP presidential nomination.
“Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump posted on social media.
Because they are bigots. They genuinely want to hurt "those people". They are afraid of being called out on their bigotry, so like to see people in power act the same way. Because they're bigoted themselves, they see bigotry in leaders as "telling it like it is".
Brain disease? At the very least a broken Bullshit detector.
In all seriousness I contribute it to a lack of critical thinking skills. Which I guess could be argued is a “broken bullshit detector” so maybe I wasn’t joking after all.
You know, the fun part of this all is, in a way, all the presidency is is its norms and traditions. Trump flaunted all of them. He didn't understand they were in place to protect him. It should come as no surprise when he isn't treated like a former president because he never acted like a president in the first place.
Right? He wants all the unofficial but traditional perks and benefits of being a president without being bound by all the traditional obligations and expectations of the office.
It's like he thinks being rich gives him an exception to all this shit, but he's to stupid to realize that MOST American Presidents are rich, many of them more than he'll ever be.
That's Trump's whole life. He thinks being rich cures him of rules and obligations, but then he wants into "high society" because of the access and authority that it provides. But that price of admission to that circle isn't JUST about being rich, it's about following the very rules that Trump doesn't feel bound by.
It's why the only thing he can think to do with the office of the president is trying to find cool stuff to show people to make people fonally like him.
Which by the way the US has caught spies trying to get in to this exact property, plus the Australian billionaire who wasn't a spy but repeated state secrets from Trump to tons of people.
