Because that very question is being discussed in other threads:

> Courtesy of @JohnT, there is a statement on Twitter purported to be issued by Trump stating his residence is being searched by the FBI: This is huge. I note he was treated exactly the same as any other target of a warrant. Personally, I’m so glad to see it. The only surprise to me is that it has happened so soon.

This one is specifically about the perceptions of the propriety of the FBI’s actions, and shows that, at least here, most people aren’t falling for Trumps bullshit.
