A classic case of projection.

Donald Trump is a person who speaks whatever comes to his mind. He has no governor on his tongue.

Sometimes he thinks about all the things he himself is guilty of, and he spouts it out and blames it on someone else. At this time, he blames it on Hillary Clinton. But, if not her, it would be someone else. He is never at fault.

He projects all his guilt onto someone else. When he says, "Crooked Hillary", he is in reality saying, "Crooked Donald". When he accuses someone else of a crime, he is guilty of that very same crime.
He accuses Hillary Clinton of "pay for play" when it now appears that was what he did in Florida with their Attorney General?

Only a psychologist could explain why he would do such a thing? At the foundation of it all appears to be the needs of a pathological liar. He is a deeply disturbed individual, in my opinion.

He thinks he's above the law so rules, laws, precedent and conventions do not apply to him - he's that special. They apply to everyone else. Apparently daddy always had someone to paper over Don the Con's cracks.

I think he is a schemer and if anything goes wrong, he will project it onto someone else. Or sue them.
