Also he made his slogan in 2016 "Lock her up". He's been threatening to imprison his opponents for 6-7 years now, like a petty dictator would.

Meet the Republicans after school by the bike racks, yall, cause it's on!

I get being chilled by it and wanting to report on it, but anyone who is surprised by it, at this point, has no business being in journalism.

Fucking right.

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

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."

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.

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.

Shitler

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.

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.

if he wins, im pretty sure the 2 term limit wouldnt be something thats sacred either.

Yeah, he literally ran on "lock her up" for the 2016 election.

No one has made it impossible for him to run yet. He knows there are enough people that will enable his behavior that he feels safe.
