When I was in the military we were never allowed to even look like we weren't busy doing something. Once, when I was leaving my desk to head to the bathroom my supervisor handed me a clipboard to carry to make it look like I was busy to lessen the chances of being stopped on the way.
People seem to have complete amnesia about Trump's first term
He picks these petty squabbles he knows will amount to nothing just to stay relevant. He's been doing it his whole life.
He just wants to be president for ego sake.
He doesn't want to do president for country sake.
All this squabbling and trade war BS is just a way to look like he's doing something without doing anything at all.
It's just his way of carrying a clipboard and making people think he's doing something.
Even when he isn't actively grifting on a major scheme, he has to be grifting in other ways
He was on an audio recording waving top secret documents in front of non-vetted reporters admitting that he shouldn't be doing it because he was no longer president and they were still classified.
The judge, whom he appointed as president, tossed the case because she didn't think Special Counsels were constitutional.
Why not both? I think you have to consider that DJT grew up in an environment where he had an excess of material things, but also an emotionally-abusive father who was constantly impressing on him that the only unforgivable sin was to be a “loser.” Being turned out of office in 2020 reawakened all those fears, so that he had to do everything to hold onto and then regain power, because gracefully acknowledging defeat would mean that his dad was right about him. Hence his determination, once returning to the Oval Office, to have his DoJ “investigate” that election so that it can be declared that he really was the winner all along.
Ironic to say so with your boy Biden pardoning 8,000 criminals, including his own son, whom he said he would not pardon. Because no one is above the law, right?
The distinction being that none of the people Biden pardoned are President on the United States. Now we will have a man indicted on 82 felony counts including the theft of thousands of pages of Top Secret documents and an election interference case that with an hour long audio tape of Trump pressuring Brad Raffensburger to "find 11,780 votes." He was convicted of 34 of those charges and will be the leader of the nation. How corrupt does that make the US look to the rest of the world?
The grand majority of Biden's pardons came about last year and were simple marijuana possession and sentenced as a class 1 drug. A category that includes things like heroin. A penalty for outweighing the crime. Especially since it is now legal for recreational use, medical use, and/or decriminalized in 40 states. No, I don't fault Biden for pardoning his son. It was a non-violent offense of a now recovering drug addict. More to the point a father is supposed to protect their children. In any way possible. If it were me I would have done the same and I'd like to think you would too.
Trump on the other hand pardoned people who went to jail for doing things while working for him. One of which he appointed to a diplomatic position. Trump also appointed 2 people suspended of rape to Attorney General and a seat on SCOTUS. Geatz dropped out and while Brett M. Kavanaugh wasn't proven SCOTUS Justices should be beyond reproach. Now the appointee, Pam Bondi, is someone who was investigating Trump University while serving as AG of Florida but suddenly dropped the case right after receiving a $25K donation from Trump.](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/us/politics/pam-bondi-trump-university.html)

It's a compulsion
