The target president Christie, Bolton, Networks and Maryland Gov in recent messages

I asked Donald Trump the question. Everyone asked Donald Trump.

Would he be committed in remuneration in a second term?

And we all got the same answer: he would be too busy for that. His only compensation would be success.

Well, if Trump is not engaged in the transformation of the government against his political enemies, he makes a fairly good imitation.

Now the hardball policy is as old as the Republic. The founders committed themselves to it. Abe Lincoln is committed to it. And you think that LBJ has never succeeded by threatening to draw a subsidy or two for the plans of pets from a member of the congress?

Look, one thing that I learned covering Trump for decades is that he likes to fight. In New York, at the time, he would fight with Ed Koch and Leona Helmsley, the “Queen of Mean”.

Diffusion biases: Networks overtake with sympathy to anyone who opposes Trump

When his divorce from Ivana became a tabloid feeling, Trump took the phone with me to explain why his regulation project was really generous.

We see this fight against instincts today when the president leaves not only democrats, but republican colleagues who challenge him or do not support his proposals – a certain number of whom have announced their retirement rather than losing a primary against a challenger supported by Trump.

We see that the Trump-Against-The-World approach with its repression against DC crime which, despite the original adjustment problems, is greeted by some liberals (publicly and private) because people are afraid in a city that cannot even stop teenage carjacks.

The next target is Chicago, who also has a black mayor, the Washington Post reporting that there have been weeks of secret planning to send thousands of troops from the National Guard. The governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, denounced this as an effort to spread fear, and it sometimes seems that the president is at war against urban America.

The underlying motivation is crucial: Trump believes that the Democrats led “the law” against him for four years. There is no evidence that President Biden ordered such efforts, but Trump is convinced that the multiple investigations against him – as in the Stormy Daniels case – were part of a large plan to get him out of the race.

And he has a point. Look at the scandalously illegal fine with which Judge Arthur Engoron hit him in the civil fraud case brought by New York AG Letitia James: $ 354 million, since his arrival at $ 515 million.

It was so clearly unfair that an appeal court simply threw him into violation of the eighth amendment, except a cruel and unusual punishment. James is attractive, and the court did not throw the whole case – the “false” case, says Trump – but half a million net on real estate assessments seems pathetically unfair.

But when Trump cried Foul, the media reaction was there, he starts again, attacking each judge who does not agree with him. But Trump was right on Engoron.

By the way, the Trump Doj investigates Tish James for allegations of mortgage fraud.

So, what the press considers as Trump who goes after his opponents is, in his eyes, just a basic reimbursement, an attempt to obtain.

That said …

“I just watched Sloppy Chris Christie being interviewed in a disputed” news “program … on ABC Fake News”, “this week” organized by George Stephanopoulos.
“Can someone believe what Chris is sloppy say? Do you remember the way he lied about the dangerous and deadly closure of the George Washington bridge in order to stay outside the prison, sacrificing the people who worked for him, including a young mother, who spent years trying to fight vicious charges against her.

Christie, an online ally, was Trump’s hardest republican critic during the campaign. As for the 2013 scandal known as the Bridgegate, it was the subject of an in -depth investigation and two main aids of Christia were condemned, but the Supreme Court, while exploding the conduct, canceled these convictions.

It should be noted that the decision to close certain ways on the George Washington bridge, which created traffic chaos, was the governor’s attempt to retaliate against a democratic mayor who refused to approve him.

“It is time for certain traffic problems at Fort Lee,” wrote one of the aid condemned in a remarkably succinct message.

“I always thought he fled with the murder,” Trump told journalists yesterday.

After watching the Sunday shows, the president discharged two networks:

“Despite great popularity and, according to many, among the 8 largest months in presidential history, ABC & NBC Fake News, two of the most biased and biased events in history, give me 97% bad stories. If that is the case, they are simply an arm of the Democratic Party and should, according to many, their licenses revoked by FCC. Democracy !!!”

Chris Matthews says that the Democrats fell into a trap to defend what is indefensible “on the crime

He added that ABC and NBC should pay “millions of dollars a year in license fees … Trusted” journalism “should not be rewarded, it should be terminated !!!”

Now the networks should not lose their licenses simply because the president does not like their coverage. Perhaps they should pay more for the use of waves, but this should apply to all networks; So far, they have respected the rules.

Asset And John Bolton have been in the throat of the other since the president dismissed the national security advisor. There was a criminal investigation into Bolton’s book in 2020 that Trump tried to stop, but he was authorized for publication.

I take Trump in the word that he did not know in advance the FBI raid on Bolton’s house in Bethesda. But twice in the days preceding the raid, Trump slammed it online for criticizing his efforts to end the Russian-Ukraine war.

“The very unfair media are at work on my meeting with Putin. Constantly quoting dismissed losers and truly stupid people like John Bolton, who has just said that, even if the meeting is on American soil,” Putin has already won “. What is it?”

After the raid, Trump described Bolton as “low life” and “Sleazebag” which suffers from the “major disturbance syndrome of Trump”.

But two things can be true at the same time. Trump prosecutors had to show convincing evidence in a special court to have the search warrant approved. It is therefore possible that Bolton clings to certain classified documents.

After the raid, Trump posted that Bolton was one of the “stupid people” who made “much more difficult” for him to end the war by tearing his approach to Putin.

I have known John Bolton for years – he was a contributor to Fox – and I am surprised that he made no comments. There was just a little wave on the press pack on his return home.

Then: Wes Moore, the first black governor of Maryland.

They turned in both directions, which is good. But the president then published this:

“Governor Wes Moore of Maryland asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I walk in the streets of Maryland”. Wes Moore’s file on crime is very bad. “.

The new Boogeyman of Democrats is another type of Donald Trump

There is more:

Trump “proposed” to deploy troops in Baltimore – who has a serious crime problem – after which he would accept Moore’s invitation to meet him in the street.

Then came the threat: “I gave a lot of money to Wes Moore to repair his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink this decision ???”

Moore has rebuilt the Francis Scott Key bridge since an imprudent oil tanker and out of control destroyed it at the beginning of last year. And for the record, the congress approved the funds as part of a package during the last period of the Biden administration.

But put it aside. Who would be injured if Trump had this threat?

Millions of people in Maryland who are on the bridge or whose jobs are linked to trade in this region.

Trump openly suggests using the government’s official power to retain funds that would harm ordinary citizens. It is more disturbing than the punch and the counterpart with Bolton and Christie.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think Trump really does it. It’s a brush step.

While Trump can consider himself the evening score, one day, the Democrats will occupy the White House again. They would feel fully justified to continue their opponents as recovery for the way they were targeted for investigation. And the endless endless cycle.
