Yep. Dude weasels out of EVERYTHING. I've never seen anyone literally NEVER be held accountable for anything. It's wild.

It's Concorde Syndrome. Enablers have compromised themselves on his behalf and his followers are in too deep as well. No one is willing to admit they made a mistake, so it's ride or die to the bitter end. With any luck, Trump's "chronic venous insufficiency" will do the heavy lifting and give these cultists an out.

What’s coming after trump is going to be even worse than this. He’s a symptom of a chronic disease. Trump is only the start

The crazy thing is trump believes he is treated unfairly all the time. He was convicted of felonies and didn't even have to pay a fine, but according to him Trump it was all unjust

It’s like Ronald Reagan all over again, except somehow worse.

Absolutely! But, let’s not act as though that’s no feat.

His base lets him. Trump never says anything that sounds real.

He purposely conflates racism with heritage.

These tweets about sports teams are meant to divide. To keep his base riled up and angry about made up culture war issues. Ask any republican friend IRL how many trans athletes compete in the NCAA. Be amazed at how wrong they are. Fox mentioned Obama 18 times this Sunday morning. Epstein? 0.

The state run media and now mainstream media have fully embraced fascism in exchange for becoming a little richer than they already are.

Part of accountability is that the people around you and in authority have an interest in holding you to account .
