Soeaking OUT against the wall of protests is not easy. Sometimes, the truth when spoken hurts and offends. Trump is offensive. Jesus offended a lot of people as well.
Trump Tweets about these people who are conspiring to come after him and get him out of office, to get the establishment politicians and the media to come to their defense.
If Trump doesn't like them, then the media and politicians will be doing the old "woe is me" routine, acting outraged that Trump would fire these poor, helpless career patriots, blah, blah, blah.
When Trump is ready, he will drop the goods on these people (I do think that Trump by now is aware of evidence in the DOJ IG report that we are not privy to) and by then it will be too late for the media to switch sides. They have already backed the criminals.
Trump wins again.
