I just heard Lindsey Graham bleat, "In his mind, Trump did nothing wrong!"

Sadly, it would probably be a complete waste of time to point out to that spineless little prick that Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer both felt the same way.

History will not be kind to the diminutive doughy sycophant.

Without a claim of serious mental disability, having a worldview that justifies and normalizes the corrupted behavior Trump routinely engages in is called being a criminal.

No serial criminal thinks he or she does anything wrong. Their minds are warped.

8. Isn't that usually the foundation of an insanity defense?

"Your honor, the defendant cannot distinguish between right and wrong. He must be found not guilty by reason of insanity."

It's also the foundation of the Spoiled Brat Defense: I didn't do nothin'! It's not fair! Why do other people get away with everything and I'm impeached for making a perfect phone call? No, you can't see the transcript of the call.

that the Republicans will wind up in permanent pretzel shapes by the time this is all over, trying to make excuses for Trump. Trump regularly touts himself as the best, the smartest, etc. and his followers herald him as well, however, Republicans cover for him like an embarrassed parent would make excuses for their 2-year old whenever he is caught doing something wrong. He's a frickin 70+ year old man. He knows what he's doing and if he doesn't, then he STILL doesn't belong in the Office of the Presidency of the United States.
