I'm not posting links...Trump went on "Truth Social" and ranted "When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?"
So let me get this straight.
Unlike the LAWFULLY EXECUTED SEARCH of Mar-a-Lago, he wants the FBI to "raid" President Biden's "many homes," and PERHAPS EVEN THE WHITE HOUSE!
He actually called for the FBI to "raid" the WHITE HOUSE to see if the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES has any classified documents IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
I imagine his followers are eagerly lapping this up like kittens with a fresh saucer of milk, but...
...at what point do they question their master's stability?

(13,109 posts)The Archives repeatedly requested the return of the documents Trump stole. He ignored them. Not so with Biden.

AFAIK, Joe and Dr. Jill only own their home in Wilmington and a house in Rehoboth Beach.

(11,738 posts)Imagine if Trump were actually smart, like say Nixon or Cheney? He is mentally and intellectually a petty thief. He was born into wealth, but really, without his family's wealth, he would have amounted to nothing.
He is used to getting away with his crimes, because he always has in the past, other than some minor, monetary consequences.
The Office of the President, is very powerful and the United States has an awful track record of holding people with wealth and power accountable. It isn't that he is special or smart, it is simply that he has resources to get him out of trouble. However, much like his lifetime of schemes and businesses, he is stupid and bad at what he does so while he can and has caused damage, it is nowhere near what he could do if he had half the intelligence he thinks he has.

But Joe Biden BEAT HIM...by over 7 million votes...and monster daddy Fred taught Trump one thing, is that "losing" is unacceptable and unforgivable. None of this matters to me...I have no sympathy / empathy for Trump's unhappy childhood and his obsession to punish the world for it.
LONG after this has been investigated, and most likely determined to be an innocent oversight, Trump will STILL be calling for a "raid" on Biden, and chanting "lock him up."

(32,084 posts)He just grossly underestimated Joe, and was the main person pushing the "doddering, old guy with dementia, who hides in his basement" bullshit. No doubt he eventually started believing his own lies. Which is why losing to him is such an affront to Trump, especially by nearly 8 million votes. It's pretty obvious that the humiliation of losing to "a senile, old basement-dweller" by a record margin is agonizing. Good. I am unsympathetic, as well. In fact, Trump is not miserable enough for my liking. And, truth be told, I find his histrionics to be rather entertaining.

He's never ever tried to make sense. All he ever does is throw crap against the wall to see what sticks.

(50,557 posts)After they do the search, Trump will post on his Truth Social page:
"Sleepy Joe had over 25,000 classified documents in the White House. Impeach him now!"
To which an Official White House Press Release will be issued:
This search was indeed conducted. Over 25,000 classified documents at all security levels were found.
In response, the former president demanded President Biden be impeached over these documents.
The White House Press Office contacted President Biden for a statement. His reply was short and simple:
"THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU FAT FUCK!"
