The furious hostility and seething animus of Donald Trump are perhaps the most quintessential characteristics of his perverse personality. The only times that he isn’t lashing out malevolently at his perceived enemies is when he is lavishing wholly undue praise upon himself.<\/p>\n

The targets of Trump’s tantrums are generally Democrats and political foes, including President Biden, former President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and leaders in Congress such as Nancy Pelosi. More recently Trump has made it his mission to viciously malign the judges and prosecutors<\/a><\/strong> connected to his multitude of criminal indictments and felony charges of crimes against America. His behavior exposes nothing more than his festering fear of the consequences of his crimes.<\/p>\n

However, Trump doesn’t reserve his vile vitriol for Democrats and justice officials. He is often equally disparaging toward his confederates in the Republican Party. He regularly attacks Mitch McConnell and other insufficiently worshipful GOP representatives. On Wednesday Trump went a bit farther than his ordinary measure of malice when he posted<\/a> this comment on his failing social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“Right now Republicans in Congress and the Senate have to get tough, and put everything together in one big, neat package, because I will be President in one and a half years, and we will pick the strongest, toughest, and most respected Attorney General, and if guilty, we will put them all in jail where they belong, just as they are trying to do to me based on NOTHING.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump has been whining that Republicans in Congress have been too weak with regard to defending him. He believes that the GOP in Congress have some role in reigning in the judiciary, despite the Constitution’s separation powers. He wants them to defund and otherwise hamstring the Justice Department and prosecutors investigating his criminal activities. In other words, he is promising to “weaponize”<\/em> the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

Coming from another angle, Trump is disappointed with Republicans for not more fiercely attacking President Biden and seeking his immediate impeachment<\/a><\/strong>. Never mind that they don’t have a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing. They have no use for evidence, particularly when it reveals their own crimes more than anything else. But that hasn’t stopped Trump from castigating them and fantasizing about their incarceration. Some recent examples include…<\/p>\n

“Any Republican<\/a> that doesn\u2019t act on Democratic fraud should be immediately primaried and get out.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“They impeach me<\/a>, they indict me. And the Republicans just don\u2019t fight the way \u2026 they\u2019re supposed to fight.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Biden is<\/a> a Stone Cold Crook-You don\u2019t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it\u2019s already proven. These lowlifes Impeached me TWICE (I WON!), and Indicted me FOUR TIMES – For NOTHING! Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Republicans better<\/a> get tough and they better get smart because most of them look like a bunch of weak jerks right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Republicans all<\/a>, you must finally get tough. You\u2019ve got to get tough and you\u2019ve got to show them, when you arrest your leading political opponent, we no longer have a democracy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Remember<\/a>, all of these Indictments, Federal, State, and Local, were conceived and generated by Crooked Joe Biden and his staff of Radical Left Lunatics and Thugs for purposes of interfering with the 2020 Presidential Election. None of these trials should be allowed to begin prior to the Election. Republicans must get tougher and smarter, FAST!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clearly Trump is desperate and afraid, which is driving him to bully his fellow Republicans into more forcefully supporting his delusions and quest for power. He knows what he’s done, and he knows that he’s guilty, and that he’s likely to be convicted. Yet he appears to have forgotten what he thinks about candidates who are under felony indictments. So this might be a good time to remind him.<\/p>\n
