What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed & also known that potential death and destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? Why & who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely hates the USA!
Late night social media post by Donald John Trump, 45th President of the United States
All this maniacal stuff started last Saturday when Don T predicted he would be arrested on Tuesday. At the end of his prophetic message that day he called for protests and pleaded with his supporters to take back the country. When neither event happened on the appointed day something inside Mr. Trump's noggin seemed to come unmoored. In fact, given what he has said about Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg and others it isn't unreasonable to conclude the former president has gone full bore bat shit crazy.
What else can you say about a man who led up to last night's message by calling the New York DA, "satanic," an, "animal," while writing, "OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL." Not to mention posting, "THIS IS GESTAPO, THIS IS RUSSIA AND CHINA BUT WORSE. DISGRACEFUL."
In the past, Mr. Trump has been likened to a mafia boss, all lawyered up, backed by big money--a hulking well dressed menace who doesn't need to stoop to overt threats of physical violence. However, in all honesty, this past week his language isn't so much akin to Vito Corleone's, but rather like Sonny Barger's the guy who led the Hells Angels into infamy.
In reality Trump's behavior has been so erratic lately it is hard to tell whether his anger has been fueled by the prospect of an indictment, or the lack of being hit with one. After all, his increasingly vitriolic--even for him--name calling appears to be an effort to provoke Bragg into action. Obviously no one knows what exactly is going through the Trumpian mind. Maybe he simply feels it is unseemly for someone to claim martyrdom then not get persecuted--that it takes the shine off the whole halo thing.
What we do know is house republicans are doing everything in their power to make Donald Trump happy. Alvin Bragg has received notifications from various committees demanding that he stop what he is doing immediately so they can grill him about...well, whatever they want. These demands are aa bit of stretch since Mr. Bragg and the charges he might bring against Donald Trump have nothing to do with the federal government, or federal statute. Bragg's investigation and the grand jury involved are strictly state affairs. Unfortunately, as we know, the GOP has never paid attention to such details.
We also know that while Richard M. Nixon was as corrupt and venal as any human on the planet he never called for violence in the streets to achieve his political goals. It was a line he and every other president in the history of the republic have been unwilling to cross. For all of them it was what separated us from the beasts and chaos.
Tragically, Donald Trump is a beast and he feeds on chaos. This truth has never been clearer than during the past six days.

Our former leader is dangerously close to crossing a line he has avoided so far - bold threats of violence. Indeed, a few of the talking heads on the major networks have said he has already done exactly that. I am anxious to see how far he can go with this and his future political ambitions. It's great theater for the rest of us, if you can handle the horror of it.
