    And he will continue doing this until someone finally starts treating him like any other person doing the exact same thing and throw his ass in jail for it on the first violation.

    Trump does this because he’s spent 77 years of his life suffering exactly no consequences for his words or actions. And for the past 8 years, he’s been staring down our entire legal system as if to say “I’ll do what I want, what are you going to do about it”, and the answer he’s been getting is “Nothing”. His base has been funding his legal defense and paying off what few token fines he’s had to pay.

    Why shouldn’t he keep doing this? He’s approaching his NINTH DECADE on this planet doing it with resounding success, and nobody seems to be willing to actually draw AND DEFEND the line in the sand. If they actually want him to stop with the attacks, the one and only option that will work is to throw his ass in jail until the trial.

    And if they’re not willing to do that instead of tiptoeing around the issue, politely requesting that he stop, and wondering why nothing ever changes, then they need to suck it up and deal with it, because he’s not going to stop. Jail his ass until the trial(s), or accept that this is the reality for the next several years.

      someone else already answered part of why they don’t nail him to the wall like any other poor person (eg conservative revolution); another reason is affluenza.

      he’s being politely asked to stop committing crimes by people in the upper echelons of society that will never feel the impact of his actions nor theirs; so their polite requests are merely an exercise in an academic pursuit within absurd belief that the “system will take of it.”

      if trump were rich and well connected enough he could get away with it; but it’s clear that he’s not or else most wouldn’t even be aware of it happening.
