The all out effort to silence President Trump means that the insiders are deathly afraid of him. These people are all complete cynics; they would pardon Charles Manson if it gave them some type of political advantage, yet they are going after President Trump like he is the devil himself? They know more about President Trump’s remaining options than we do. And I can promise them one thing... at this point anything that he can do is being considered. He will take whatever means to strike back that will be most effective. He is smart, well advised and fearless and whatever he does will be in the country’s best interest even if it causes some short term pain.
I don't think they are one bit afraid. Haters got to hate. Stab Trump, then twist the knife just for giggles.
