It was a great day. I remember listening to him speak the truth and thinking they will never allow this guy to be elected. I’m happy to say I was wrong.

Everyone understands that #PrecedentTrump is a thing, right?

What you're witnessing is #Trump taking all the slings and arrows necessary to clear the runway so to speak. To, in effect, normalize what would have been unheard of before. And that's the point really. Think big picture beyond all the myriad of ways he is being assaulted legally. None of them will prevail - at least not against him. Others waiting in the queue, not so much.

Precedent (noun) : an earlier occurrence of something similar

: something done or said that may serve as an example or rule to authorize or justify a subsequent act of the same or an analogous kind

: the convention established by such a precedent or by long practice

: a person or thing that serves as a model

I'll have grounds More relative than this—the play's the thing Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King. —Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii
