Trump himself is the foremost dispenser of this prefab hypocrisy. He excels at making public statements that are diametrically opposed to his prior statements, even when they were merely minutes apart. It’s such an obvious diversion from reality that it’s possible it isn’t hypocrisy at all, but a more serious mental deficiency.<\/p>\n
RELATED: LOL: Trump Says All Presidential Candidates (Except Himself) Should Take Mental Competency Tests<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For much of the past few months, Trump has been immersed in anxiety over the multitude of crimes he has committed and the legal accountably that he is now facing. He has been been indicted twice on than 60 felony counts ranging from falsifying business records, to obstruction of justice, to violations of the Espionage Act due to his theft and hoarding of classified documents.<\/p>\n Regarding those documents, Trump has floated numerous hypocritical explanations for keeping them at his Mar-a-Lago home\/hotel. He has variously claimed that they don’t exist, that they were declassified with his mind, that they were planted by the FBI, and that they actually belong to him. Clearly, it isn’t possible for all of those excuses to be true. But as the Hypocrite in Chief, Trump doesn’t care.<\/p>\n Now that Trump is an indicted suspect in dozens of felonious acts, he is lashing out at law enforcement and prosecutors, many of whom he appointed. And the fact that he’s a criminal defendant doesn’t seem to be an impediment to his campaign. In fact, he brags that his polling goes up with each new charge.<\/p>\n However, that was not always his opinion of presidential candidates under investigation. Reporters at CNN recently reached back<\/a><\/strong> to Trump’s 2016 campaign when he was running against Hillary Clinton and was calling on the feds to “lock her up.”<\/em> What they found were Trump’s feelings about that state of affairs, at least at that time, were markedly different…<\/p>\n “Trump made the comments nearly seven years ago about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n \u201c’We could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial,’ Trump said during a November 5, 2016, campaign rally in Reno, Nevada, reviewed by CNN\u2019s KFile. ‘It would grind government to a halt.'”<\/p>\n [And that…]<\/em><\/p>\n “If [Hillary Clinton] were to win, it would create an unprecedented Constitutional crisis that would cripple the operations of our government. She is likely to be under investigation for many years, and also it will probably end up – in my opinion – in a criminal trial. […]. She has no right to be running.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n My report on @NewsCentralCNN<\/a>: Trump once said a president under felony indictment would grind the government to a halt and create a constitutional crisis. pic.twitter.com\/ua2wPXFWlh<\/a><\/p>\n — Andy Kaczynski (@KFILE) July 3, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
