Trump - Whiny Gasbag

 Trump makes all sorts of claims about being persecuted by the FBI.

Seems to me all the FBI did was offend his sense of being untouchable. He took papers not his to take. He lied about taking them. 

Mick Mulvaney said the classified documents recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago were 'serious' but may not have justified the raid:

Mulvaney told CNN's Alisyn Camerota that the sensitive documents were "serious stuff" not meant to be in the former president's home, but that there would need to be an "emergency" in order to justify the use of a search warrant to retrieve the documents. 

Seems to me Trump lied about having the files and avoided the government's less forceful means for return of the files.

Seems to me the FBI going in without firearms is not much of a raid let alone one using Gestapo tactics.

Seems to me Breona Taylor could have complained of the government using jackboot tactics.

No, the real thuggish behavior comes from the Trump cult: US political violence is surging, but talk of a civil war is exaggerated – isn’t it?

...The FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence earlier this month for classified documents removed from the White House unleashed the latest barrage of threats of violence, this time directed at an institution widely regarded as a bastion of establishment conservatism.

How such people would follow a loser like Trump must say something about the educational attainments and/or mental health of Americans.
