    What people don’t seem to understand is that he sincerely believes that every other politician is as corrupt as he is, and is genuinely confused why the DOJ can’t find any evidence to indict Hillary or Biden.

      is genuinely confused why the DOJ can’t find any evidence to indict Hillary or Biden

      he is always confused when he doesn’t get his way… the reason doesn’t matter… he’s a fucking 3 year old, and so are all of his supporters…

      all he knows is those people make him sad, and he wants someone to make them go away

      This is also why he’s pushing the “2020 was stolen” line - besides the fact that he can’t admit that he lost. Trump and the GOP took measures to prevent Democrats from voting. Stuff like mucking with the post office, closing polling sites, etc. And yet the Democrats won.

      To Trump, the only possible reason for this isn’t “the Democrats voted in large enough numbers to overcome the Republican cheating.” No, the only reason must be “the Democrats cheated more than we did.”

        He is so transparent. Only people who cheat themselves are usually this paranoid about other people doing it. It is also true for thieves and a bunch of other stuff.

        Every time he talks about this it is clear as day that he thinks they over-cheated him. He just can’t outright say it, but this pisses him so much. So instead it comes off as heavily insinuating that the only way to get numbers like he did is to cheat.

      Trump isn’t symmetric; he has no concept of others’ minds. His only ideas are about how he has what he wants. Calling for them in jail gets people to like him and gets his opponents out of the way. He isn’t confused bc he doesn’t care about correctness; any sense of misunderstanding is bc others are attacking him.

      I mean, they are all as corrupt as him, but most of them just have the intelligence to be corrupt within the bounds of the laws they’ve created to allow them to be corrupt legally.

        Such edgy nonsense. Please, tell us more about the corruption of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden that is the same as Trump’s corruptions. I’m sure you’ve got plenty of examples that you can just rattle of the top of your head.

          Although not the same level as trump’s corruption, but Nancy pelosi’s and other members of congress’ insider tradings is up there.

          Most congressmen engage in massive amounts of insider trading that they legalized just for them, and all of them (with exceptions numbering in the single digits) accept very large amounts of money in the form of legalized corporate bribes in exchange for legislation that favors business and harms everyone else. If you think that’s not wildly corrupt, you’re simply not intelligent.
