Mr. Innocent ...
Is former President Donald Trump freaking out? I mean, given the spate of legal actions in the wake of his questionable business and presidential behavior and the criminal investigations that have followed, it would totally make sense if he were panicking.
And a Thursday-morning flurry of social media posts suggests that he is no longer committed to the pretense of being calm, cool, and collected under the heat of legal scrutiny.
Let’s assume that — if you are reading this article — you are familiar with the multitude of legal problems the former president faces, not least of which is an apparent felony offense of being in private possession of classified and top secret documents outside the accepted protocol. It is a felony because, in 2018, Trump himself signed that into law. That’s right, Citizen Trump appears to have broken the very law that President Trump signed.
And Trump’s own supply of defiance and self-determination to get through these latest set of issues appears to be running dry. Or at least his public comments made on his own social media platform TruthSocial suggest that he’s not …. in a good place at the moment.
Shortly before 9 AM, Trump opened with the always effective opener, “Even though I am as innocent as a person can be,” before launching into some old conspiratorial chestnuts familiar to anyone who’s watched a Trump rally. He ended with the curious, “it looks more and more like the Fake News Media is pushing hard for the Sleaze to do something that should not be done!”
