Many politicians and not a few radical broadcasters express "knee jerk" reactions to almost anything that happens in this vast country.
The FBI "raiding" Trump's Florida palace in search of missing documents from his presidency has produced over-the-top calls for war and vengeance and "can't you see they are coming for YOU?!" from the usual suspects on FOX and subversive blogs.
I have no evidence for this, but can't help but wonder about Trump's plan for how those purloined documents can be turned into cash. With him, there is a never-ending battle between his love of fame, his inability to admit error, and his insatiable desire for money.
I assume Trump taking the Fifth Amendment during his testimony in New York today will elicit knee jerk responses from progressive pundits, claiming that he MUST be covering up something. He might be. Or he might just be doing what he always does: stir up the mud and obscure the truth... along with some solid trolling of accepted morals and ethics.
Or he may just not understand the questions. He's not a normal person.
I continue to believe that the Trump takeover of the Republican Party depends largely on Trump's personality, and that there are no successors who can continue his unique blend of nastiness, show business, and name recognition.
The nation would be far better off with his sudden death. from natural causes, of course.
Many people prefer vengeance, and I sympathize. The guy completed the dismantling of a major political party (not alone) and has undermined so many traditional mores and standards that it's hard not to wish for some payback. And everyone would be entertained by his fall, even if it's just schadenfreude. Yes, even his supporters could not turn away.
I just want him off the stage.
Let the next villain take a turn.
