What people don’t seem to understand is that he sincerely believes that every other politician is as corrupt as he is, and is genuinely confused why the DOJ can’t find any evidence to indict Hillary or Biden.

is genuinely confused why the DOJ can’t find any evidence to indict Hillary or Biden
he is always confused when he doesn't get his way.. the reason doesn't matter.. he's a fucking 3 year old, and so are all of his supporters..
all he knows is those people make him sad, and he wants someone to make them go away
he is always confused when he doesn't get his way.. the reason doesn't matter.. he's a fucking 3 year old, and so are all of his supporters..
He actually admits this.

If those magats could read they'd be very upset with you.
This is also why he's pushing the "2020 was stolen" line - besides the fact that he can't admit that he lost. Trump and the GOP took measures to prevent Democrats from voting. Stuff like mucking with the post office, closing polling sites, etc. And yet the Democrats won.
To Trump, the only possible reason for this isn't "the Democrats voted in large enough numbers to overcome the Republican cheating." No, the only reason must be "the Democrats cheated more than we did."
He is so transparent. Only people who cheat themselves are usually this paranoid about other people doing it. It is also true for thieves and a bunch of other stuff.
Every time he talks about this it is clear as day that he thinks they over-cheated him. He just can't outright say it, but this pisses him so much. So instead it comes off as heavily insinuating that the only way to get numbers like he did is to cheat.
Trump isn't symmetric; he has no concept of others' minds. His only ideas are about how he has what he wants. Calling for them in jail gets people to like him and gets his opponents out of the way. He isn't confused bc he doesn't care about correctness; any sense of misunderstanding is bc others are attacking him.

He's 100% committed to getting the Presidency to extricate himself from his situation, and using that office to keep himself out of the reach of justice.
Attempted by Julius Caesar, Napoleon, and Capt'n Jack Sparrow.
Trump is welcome to the club then. He’s got his own line of steaks, just like Caesar has his salad, Napoleon has his ice cream, and the captain has his cereal.
The crazy part is not that he wants to do that ... there are probably countless wannabe politicians that have that as a motivation.
The crazy part is that he has a following and an actual chance that he could do it.
The insane part of current US politics is not Trump ... the crazy part is this current culture of political leaders and financiers who are piling their money behind some nut job and generating this following of people that actually believe it all.

That's not surprising, wasn't "lock her up" his slogan the first time around?
Adolf J Hitler.
Shitler
Ah, the putin tactic.
Pretty undemocratic, i must say.
I just realized, he isn't talking about his cases though. Did a judge actually shut him up? He's talking about more criming but not the crimes he's actually being charged for. Nice.
I wonder if his lawyers sat him down and explained how any other defendant facing the charges he's facing would be doing so from jail and pushing the judges could easily result in his bond being revoked.
But he listened to his lawyers, that would be the first time ever maybe?

Prosecutors:
It would be really nice if he had even one day of pre-trial detention or a real ban on public speech like you know, anyone else facing 90 felony counts would have.
It is not a surprise from Trump. He would be worse than the first time if he wins.
if he wins, im pretty sure the 2 term limit wouldnt be something thats sacred either.

of course the little coward would lock up everyone who scared him.. and his little coward supporters would cheer him on..
If you're going to act like a fascist, you shouldn't even be allowed to run for president. He should go suck on Putin's nuts.
Chilling, but hardly surprising.
Yeah, he literally ran on "lock her up" for the 2016 election.

This reminds me of a saying an old programming mentor told me.
“To a kid with a hammer, everything is a nail”
How is he even still running? In prison. Serious question. How is this even possible???
He's not in prison. He's not even in jail because he was allowed to pay bail. Which is only for people who are not a flight risk. I guess maybe he isn't a flight risk, yet. If he finds out he can't run for president when GA charges him and that he really is going to get charges, then I can't see him not fleeing.
Jail: Where you go while waiting in your court hearing. (If not allowed bail)
Prison: Where you go when you have been charged.
Russia: Where Trump will go in 2024 when he realizes he really is going to be in prison
