    Zero. He’s not that calculating. He’s a moron that instinctually manipulates and cons people through his incessant narcissism only in the present.

      He’s like a young Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace flying a fighter for the first time. “I‘ll try spinning, that’s a good trick!” Except it’s whatever nonsense his amphetamine fueled brain latched onto most recently. And his base licks it up over and over. The media talks about him like he’s some master manipulator. He’s just a dog chasing a car that keeps catching the car because the fucking car keeps stopping for him to catch it.

      Calling him moron is what helped him multiple times get out of responsibility (“he didn’t know”, “that’s how he is”, “he shouldn’t testify, because he could incriminate himself”, like what?).

      Even now with the indictments including 91 felonies he is treated so much better than somebody caught with a small bag of weed.

      Don’t contribute to this.

        Being a moron isn’t an excuse for crimes, nor is it the reason for a cop-out for the kid gloves he’s being handled with. You’re flagrantly misattributing his being a moron and the entirety of us calling him such as a reason he’s being patted on the head like a child.

        He’s being coddled in a (misguided, imo) manner to give him absolutely ZERO grounds for a successful appeal in any of his cases. He’s being given ALL the legal rope to hang himself with.

        He’s already openly admitted to Mar-a-Lago crimes from TrophShendral posts and interviews that wouldn’t have existed had he already rightfully been behind bars awaiting trial.
