Trump can't stop breaking the law

Trump's like a one man crime spree. It's like he can't help himself. Guess his goal is to overwhelm investigators, the media and the public with so many potential crimes no one can keep it all straight.

If Trump is awake and not stuffing his face with junk food, odds are he's doing something criminal. They need a new season of "Criminal Minds" based solely on him.

1. He epitomizes the classic "stop me before I ...." psychology

No doubt rooted in his early childhood experiences with his parents.

Toddlers push boundaries til someone stops them. When no one does, they probably subconsciously conclude that no caregiver exists, thus they are unloved. And so they keep pushing.

Imagine living 70+ years like that. No wonder he's an angry yet empty shell of a human. Pathetic.

4. That is rather his standard modus operandi

He creates so much chaos that it is hard to focus on just one criminal act or wrongdoing. He is constantly diverting people's attention and I am sure it is no accident. He has been doing it for his entire adult life.

7. The only thing he's good at is evading justice

His only real job is being a defendant in criminal and civil cases.

as he is not a particularly subtle crook. He is possibly the most obvious person on the planet, often openly admitting what he has done or is doing.

Except for being a wildly off the charts malignant narcissist/sociopath without one redeeming quality, not a single one, he’s not a bad guy.

He had to know his lifetime of corruption would be exposed. There's a reason organized crime bosses don't enter politics.

and was in it for the publicity/notoriety/attention (IMO). That's probably why Malarium cried when he was elected.

fighting back. He'd have been better off just staying out of public life, but his ego, after challenges from Obama, wouldn't let him.

10. It's not like the law is fighting back very hard or very fast yet

Maybe, just maybe, an indictment will come along "soon". But Trump has been breaking the law since entering politics for years now too.

The law should have responded the way the law deals with a serial killer on the loose. Instead, the law has responded with all the speed and ferocity of handling a copyright dispute.

11. Plus he's gone from committing white collar crimes

to inciting an insurrection and stealing classified documents. If he wasn't a former President he'd probably in a supermax federal prison.
