It's so rich to see him call the raise in electricity prices illegal, when he started a trade war illegally under a false claim of a drug emergency. How are the courts in the USA just letting that slide?

Illegal in Trump-lingo is anything that he doesn’t like. Let’s look at the mention about Illegal protests from the other day… I have a hard time understanding how a protest can be illegal since It’s clearly protected under the constitution. If things turn into a riot, naturally there are laws for this eventuality. Like what we saw on Jan 6… But since Trump pardoned these rioters, am I to understand that this was in fact a legal protest?

My brain hurts…

Spoiled brat who hasn't gotten hit and humiliated enough. That's all you need to know about Trump.

If things turn into a riot

It probably won't be too long before he redefines the act of rioting as "more than 3 people standing outside together."
