He was warned of consequences, but did what he wanted to anyway… and paid the consequence.

I’m Donald Trump…’ [vanishes through the doors]. ---

McCarthy defends Trump storing documents in a bathroom by going on the attack about Biden’s documents in a garage: Reporter: _“Was that a good look for the former president to have boxes in a bathroom?”_ McCarthy: _“I don’t know. Is it a good picture to have boxes in a garage that opens up all the time? A bathroom door locks”_ I was impressed with all the ways that this is stupid: 1. Obviously it’s a _whatabout_, as usual. Biden is being investigated. We’re talking about Trump. 2. Bathroom doors lock from the _inside_, which doesn’t really help with security unless Trump’s taking one of his “massive dumps” when russian spies are visiting MAL. 3. Garage doors lock. And indeed, from the outside. 4. Bathroom doors “open up all the time” 5. As we’ve seen from the photos, the bathroom was only one of many places that Trump stacked boxes 6. A hotel is inherently less secure than a private residence. 7. Obviously _all the other_ differences, like Trump resisting requests for the documents back, lying about having them, showing the docs to people without clearance etc etc ---

IOKWTDI – it’s okay when Trump does it. Or Republicans who wish they were Trump. No one else need apply – _especially_ Democrats, erm, Demonrats. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > I’ve seen “a couple of hundred.” Anyone have a reference on the gaggle size? Looks as though you’re right; I’m seeing “hundreds” today in citations, though none definitive (so won’t link). I’d heard “2000” on one of the news shows–not Fox!–on the day itself. Maybe the reporter was seeing double/triple/quadruple. > > [@aurora\_maire](#): > > > [@Sherrerd](#): > > > > Trump gave an explicit direction to his followers to Be There.

He truly is a loser–and the whole world saw that today. > > Trump is always spewing on Truth Social about how Americans aren’t going to take this, the people will rise up to defend him. I believe he once stated that people should protest in every city. That’s what he wanted to happen, more than anything else. You would hope that seeing that not manifest would give him pause. But I don’t think he is capable of any self-reflection so he’ll just keep on believing that soon it _will_ happen. And that he just needs to YELL LOUDER. Trump has shown himself fully capable of delusional perceptions. He’ll always believe that ‘most Americans’ adore him and would do violence in his name, if asked. If GOP power-players start openly talking him down, that won’t impact Trump’s delusion–but it could remove some of his accustomed platforms for doing that YELLING LOUDER. (Speed the day!) ---
