Don’t be misled into thinking Donald Trump’s deliberate patter to make all Americans, not just Fox-fogged Republicans, is benign. Don’t think he really believes what he says about his innocence.
For proof, consider his Monday tweet that he has “the absolute right to PARDON myself.”
PARDON. All caps.
This is a man running scared. Very scared. Scared enough to do some really extreme and undemocratic and unconstitutional things.
Trump, of course, added that he wouldn’t need to PARDON himself because he didn’t do anything wrong. Then why even talk about it – even in lower-case letters, let alone all caps?
