rump’s rants are escalating in dangerous ways. At his rally last night in Indiana Trump said: “Today’s Democrat Party is held hostage by left-wing haters, angry mobs, deep-state radicals, establishment cronies and their fake-news allies,” and that “our biggest obstacle and their greatest ally actually is the media.” He also lashed out at the FBI and the Justice Department, claiming that “people are angry” and threatening to personally “get involved.”
Why is the president of the United States claiming a huge conspiracy against him?
(a) He’s now truly paranoid and totally unhinged.
(b) He wants to fire Sessions (and Mueller), stir up his base so they’ll go to the polls Election Day, and threaten the nation with civil unrest if he’s ever impeached.
I say (b). What do you think?
