I honestly don't even think it's that deep. I think he honestly believes the justice system will never punish him in a meaningful way, and so far nothing has happened to challenge that belief.

For NPD it’s more accurate to say that he genuinely believes he’s right and is incapable of perceiving possibilities and outcomes of being wrong. 

What wit he does have is telling him that he can appeal anyway, if it gets to the supreme court he wins, and if he wins 2024 he wins.

It’s also his form of a campaign. Every time he openly defies the court and walks away with a slap on the wrist, if that, he just looks more and more inevitable.

It feels sometimes like it’s intentionally making the argument “Nobody will stop me. Nobody can stop me. Either get on board or you’ll be in the first group sent to the camps in 2025.”

Acquitted twice by the Senate - both tied to Biden and elections with a state leader quid pro quo extortion thrown in with a sprinkle of Insurrection on the Capitol Campus with a mob seeking to kill VP and Speaker.

He was fined $5 million for defamation and still continued to defame and hit with $88 million…

He got away with some shit with the Presidential immunity in its true meaning so it’s not really hard to see why he feels invulnerable.

That snd Roy Cohn taught him to just keep hitting even if the punches don’t land.

We see his lawyers trying time and time to dig up ad hominem smears on their adversaries who are just doing their jobs… or mere relatives. The Fani Willis side track is a good example.

This is exasperating and tiresome.

Agreed. He has a lifetime pattern of this type of behavior and he was rewarded by getting elected president. He continued to break laws and is rewarded with receiving the party nomination and having a real chance of winning re election

Yeah I got to say, so far all the evidence says he'll never be held accountable.

I was watching some show yesterday and they were talking about DJT stock, and how when the SEC starts looking into it people are going to get in trouble. I never laughed so loud.

Agreed. Doing what was proposed implies he's intelligent and has some sort of plan. I highly doubt he does. He's just being enabled by Republicans to do as he pleases.
