Call me crazy, I am starting to believe Trump has committed hundreds of crimes.

Everyday we find out about a new crime. It's like Trump is obsessed with breaking the law to get his way. He tries to get everyone he works with to commit crimes. Some say no, Trump gets rid of them. Many say yes. Then he tells everyone what a great job they are doing.

We are in the twilight zone.

Hundreds seemed realistic. If it turns out to be thousands of crimes that would be mind boggling.

I've been saying all along, Trump is not just a narcissist, he has Borderline Personality Disorder.

He's more acute than most, as he takes drugs and likes the thrill of criming and law breaking.

Stay calm and look at a flower. Oh, the music is nice isn't it?

You're just hallucinating. It's all good. You'll come down.

All kidding side, just read up on his past and see what he got away with. This is just a continuation of his streak, really. You might want to up that to thousands, seriously.

Despite repeated warnings, we were told Trump would "pivot" and become "more presidential." Common wisdom held the office would change him. Like Nixon, we won't know the full extent of Trump's crimes till the hundreds of tell-all books have been published and historians have weighed in. In retrospect, Trump's will be viewed as the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.

He's been a thug/assaulter/criminal/con artist all his miserable life. People who dealt with him in NY hate him.

He's a despicable POS, he has proved it plenty of times. I hope he has a miserable death like his mentor Roy Cohn.

Especially "white collar" and financial crimes. Trump is a real estate guy. Real estate is known to be a hotbed for money laundering. Trump loses a billion dollars but is still somehow rich? Hrm...

Because he has no concept of "law"... Whatever it is, it isn't for him.

1. As long as GOPrs like @brithume (who blocks me, feel free to tweet to him) deny Trump's tweets are racist, let's revisit the racism - and document destruction - displayed by Donald & Fred Trump through their refusal to rent to minorities. Key graphs of government lawsuit....
