He likes to watch the insanity
Yup. He wants to crank the Trump Derangement up to 11 so that by the time November rolls around voters will be too terrified to even THINK about pulling the lever for a Dem.
Actually, yes.
Consider that in November the Democrats being at their frenzied looniest may be desirable. It isn’t necessarily the case that ending the witch hunt will make them the most frenzied, as its existence helps keeps them agitated. But demanding it be ended? ... Now that’s possibly a whole other ball of wax.
Expect to ears weeks work of Trump protecting friends or its equivalent after every such statement.
The irony is of course that he isn’t. But the Democrats sure circle the wagons around their own at every opportunity.
He is trolling the opposition. He does that rather well and entertainingly.
