The evidence is overwhelming. Trump has a psych problem. He needs constant reinforcement. Look at his Trump Tower office. Loaded with souvenirs from his shows. Trump ALWAYS needs to control the narrative. He said the only way he could lose the 2016 election to Clinton is by fraud. He's always told people what they should think of him, not figure it out for themselves. He's got a "better body " than Joe. He's rich and doesn' need your money. He's smarter than his generals, "I'm really smart." He "knows" more about subs than the experts. He was "at" 9/11 and lost piles of friends. (a huge lie) When the towers fell, he was on the phone saying he now had the tallest building in Manhattan. Still not true. He "should" be on Mt. Rushmore, he's done more for the Middle East than any other human living or dead, he hires only the "best" people, He's the best golfer, he should get the Nobel Prize...and in these legal cases, he continues to push more narrative. It's all the same. Which explains why he kept those documents in Mar-A-Lago. Not just for cache; he needs to control the data. It's the same reason he took his health records. It's evidence of his inferiority.

[@DirtyDog97]

@lastrolo Many credible legal scholars say her handling of the case was highly irregular, improper, and incompetent. The use of special counsels is well established and accepted. Clarence Thomas was one single and corrupt justice who wrote some nonsense attacking the use of special counsel. She purposely slow-walked the case and failed to make rulings, knowing that if she ruled for her buddy Trump, she would be reversed, as had happened twice before. Totally crooked.
