So his devastating loss Friday in a New York fraud case that threatens the empire on which he built his art of the deal mythology encapsulates more than a legal defeat.
It offers a character study of the behavior, beliefs and worldview that define the DNA of an irrepressible figure and unchained force who is again tearing at American unity, institutions, democracy and the rule of law as another contentious election looms...
In his book, “Never Enough,” author Michael D’Antonio shows how Trump was taught by a demanding father and teachers that he needed to be “a killer” and that winning “was the only thing.” This explains his relentless willingness to fight, his never-ending legal crusades and his fervent desire at 77 years old to win back power after a humiliating election loss that nearly wrecked American democracy. Yet this refusal to ever admit defeat also appears to be leading Trump into dangerous legal territory....
For Trump, the battle itself and the act of breaking rules are the point of existence itself, even when they lead him into legal and constitutional peril. His flawed philosophy that in business and life, it’s all about closing one more deal, means that even crushing defeats like the 2020 election and his fraud trial cannot change him.

However there are people out there who believe the nonsense CNN pushes out there...that Trump is destroying democracy (which just so happens to mean the government, their publicly funded NGOs and think tanks have come up with an idea you better go along with).
Hopefully enough people will see through this blatant propaganda.
What particular rules did Trump break
The ones Democrats say he broke, of course!
Jackasses preaching to the choir.
Believing their tripe will actually sway anyone’s opinion is delusional at best.
“Hopefully enough people will see through this blatant propaganda.”

The corrupt education establishment has made sure that won’t happen by dumbing down most of the population and turning them into gullible and easily manipulated sheeple.
And what is the Biden family’s life been all about besides raping his daughter and selling our country out to the highest bidder
The author doesn’t even believe what he’s writing. He just wants to convince liberals that they aren’t evil for supporting lawfare against their political rivals
“unchained force who is again tearing at American unity, institutions, democracy and the rule of law”

Perfectly defines Biden, not Trump.
And don’t you love it when Biden obeys all the rules?
You can tell Biden lovingly taught his surviving son
Hunter to be a straight shooter, too, just like ol’ Dad.
Poor guy only made $4bln this week.
Stephen Collinson is full of crap.
Be a shame if Stephen Collinson was set upon by a rogue biker gang...
The British born Collinson is a one-note reporter. He despises Trump, and his columns bleed vitriol. He really is not worth reading.
Trump should liquidate all of his NY properties, including Trump Tower, his mansion in Westchester County, and get the hell out of the state.
Saw this story yesterday and dissected it for my teenage son as an object lesson in propaganda.
CNN could easily replace the content of every article with “We hate Trump, we hate Trump” and the reader would learn just as much. There is not a topic on their website they will not beat into a screed against Trump. And always posted as “Analysis.”
Life is good
Life is great
Life is bad
Life is what you make of your endeavors
This is XiNN.
I WONDER IF THEY WOULD HAVE GONE AFTER ROCKEFELLER & CARNEGIE & Others who build this country.
The PRIMARY RULE: When in a criminal environment (DC Politics) , one must GO ALONG to GET ALONG.
“ The PRIMARY RULE: When in a criminal environment (DC Politics) , one must GO ALONG to GET ALONG.”
Or overtake the criminals. Do not doubt Trump will do it
