PMT: Trump's outrage
I am on Truth Social, mostly to check out Donald Trump's reaction to various news developments. He goes bonkers whenever he is indicted (geez... I realize that sentence makes it seem like "getting indicted" is a normal part of life, but there you go), and posts things like this on Truth:
I just hope Republicans, and the people of our now failing Nation, see what is happening to our Democracy and Freedom. A sitting President has INDICTED, in many different forms and locals, his political opponent, who is substantially leading him in the Polls. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. OUR COUNTRY CAN NEVER LET THIS STAND!
When he is really revved up, he goes ALL CAPS, which makes any argument more compelling, of course. For example, we have this:
ONE OF THE MANY THINGS I HAVE DONE AS PRESIDENT, & THEREAFTER, IS TO EXPOSE THE MASSIVE CORRUPTION & FRAUD THAT TAKES PLACE ON A REGULAR BASIS WITHIN THE USA. LOOK HOW CORRUPT THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE HAS TURNED OUT TO BE…& THE FBI, WITH FISA, TWITTER FILES, LIES TO CONGRESS (AND EVERYWHERE), THE LAPTOP FROM HELL, FACEBOOK, THE TOP AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX JUST BEING ARRESTED, THE “INSURANCE POLICY” & 51 INTEL AGENTS SCAM…I EXPOSED IT ALL, & I WILL CLEAN IT UP. MAGA!
I'm not sure it's great advocacy, and insofar as he goes after judges, prosecutors, potential witnesses and the like, it's contrary to his own self-interest, as any good defense lawyer would tell him... and I'm sure has told him.
