    I disagree. And it’s even worse than you suggest I think….

    I’m pretty sure what he means, is that in his mind- he truly did nothing wrong. Like, he completely believes he is innocent. He thinks he is a victim of bias and targeted attacks.

    And so what he’s saying, is that the “evil” democrats will find you guilty of shit you didn’t do if you challenge them politically.

    It’s horseshit- but I’m pretty sure this is what he’s trying to get at.

      I politely disagree.

      That would imply that trump isn’t so much an evil person as he is an innocent bumbling idiot with good intentions (in his own mind). I would be empathetic, at least partially, to him if that were the case.

      I don’t believe trump is stupid. Well…I do but in a different way. I believe trump knows right from wrong, and since birth has been taught that wrong gives you better advancements in life.

      Where I think he’s an idiot is in his own self belief that he’s so high and mighty that the peasants couldn’t fathom his intellect. And every choice he makes to improve his own (and only his own) life is about the dumbest way possible.

      Essentially I view him in very similiar light as elon musk. Just lucky enough to be born into the right family, just smart enough to understand how to run the rackets and schemes, but just dumb enough to be perpetually on the cliff of a financial and career suicide if he takes even one false step. Then blames everyone else for him having walked to and/or off the cliff (if that happens).

      Same way I never believed bush was stupid either. I think bush is smarter and more evil that trump. But they’re on the same road. Bush just had more gas to drive farther down the road than trump did (and hopefully this is as far as he goes).

        Oh, he’s definitely evil. As evil as it gets. That’s what I’m saying. He thinks he is allowed to do the things he’s done because he’s some conservative equivalent of our all-powerful king. He believes he is above the law. Not innocent… but exempt.

        And therefore, if his sworn enemy- what we call “law and order,” can come after him- then in his mind- no one is safe.

        To take a side route and just say that I agree that Bush deserves the hatred for his actions and decisions but I think the evil moniker should be place on the chest of Cheney and Rumsfeld. Bush was just a weak President that allowed those two to call the shots.
