Trump truly believes everything is his. When he became President he believed the Treasury was his, he said it was his military. He believed the DOJ worked for him. I get surprised sometimes when this question comes up because it is quite clear that no one other than his father ever told Trump no and came out of that conversation on the good end.

The press knew all about Trump but didn't care because he was good for the bottom line. The far left in 2016 kept telling us on this very website that Hillary and Trump were the same. I cannot tell you how many times I read the same post on this website about Hillary getting paid for a speaking engagement with Wall Street. Meanwhile Trump was having protester removed and roughed up at his rallies and having 26 women accuse him of sexual assault.

So we get Trump and now that he knows how to manipulate the levers of government he wants back in. Trump is a grifter and he knows that as President he cannot be indicted and he will make sure that the DOJ is filled with nothing but loyalists.
Sorry for the rant but if Trump somehow manages to get elected in 2024 is is all over for our democracy and we get what we deserve because we as democrats were too arrogant in 2016 to realize the danger that Trump posed to our democracy.
