The partitions constructed by felony indictments stacked one on one are closing in, and Donald Trump seems to be feeling the stress as evidenced by his Sunday rant.
Trump posted on Fact Social:
The Crooked Election Interference “Thugs” from the DOJ, headed by the worst Thug of all of them, Deranged Jack Smith, are actually admitting that the Mar-a-Lago Safety Tapes have been NOT DELETED. That’s not what they have been illegally leaking to the press. These guys must be prosecuted for MISCONDUCT. Additionally, no matter occurred to Crooked Joe’s Paperwork? The place are those he despatched and saved in Chinatown? Is Deranged Jack going to Indict him for this and, on the identical time, receiving BRIBES FROM CHINA?
…
Identical because the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. They knowingly accuse you of a faux crime, a criminal offense that they really make up, you struggle these false expenses arduous, they usually attempt to get you on “obstruction.” We’re coping with sick and evil folks!
…
MAR-A-LAGO SECURITY TAPES WERE NOT DELETED. THEY WERE VOLUNTARILY HANDED OVER TO THE THUGS, HEADED UP BY DERANGED JACK SMITH. WE DID NOT EVEN GO TO COURT TO STOP THEM FROM GETTING THESE TAPES. I NEVER TOLD ANYBODY TO DELETE THEM. PROSECUTORIAL FICTION & MISCONDUCT! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
The rant has all the conventional hallmarks of Donald Trump the wounded political animal.
Trump is attempting to discredit the accusers (Jack Smith and the DOJ), deflect (Biden bribery), erase the previous (Russia), and rewrite historical past (safety tapes).
It’s Trump’s infatuation with the declare that he tried to have the safety tapes destroyed that stands out. Trump has an extended historical past of indicating what he truly did by the place he most strongly focuses his denials. The cost in regards to the safety tapes has gotten to Trump as a result of it means the DOJ has gotten inside details about what was occurring at Mar-a-Lago, and Trump can’t cease the informational bleeding.
Donald Trump continues to struggle these expenses as if they’re political issues, however as the fees pile up and with extra quickly to be coming, Trump is attempting to handle at present whereas seemingly worrying about worse developments which are but to return.
