When You Have Nothing, You Threaten People’s Families
Trump has no actual legal defense
Threatening the homes and families of those who oppose you used to be untouchable territory in politics. But that unspoken line was crossed long ago by the former president and his supporters, like many other lines of decency.
He recently posted Barack Obama’s home address in DC and within hours a heavily armed man was arrested nearby seeking a way into the property. This was a seriously fringe actor who apparently lives in a van filled with guns and bomb making material.
These lunatics love Trump to the point of insanity and he is aiming them at the private lives of his accusers, their homes and families. As awful as this tactic is, it tells us just how desperate Trump is getting and how little he has to support his case.
He has literally nothing and he knows it. Ranting and raving and throwing death threats around is not a defense, it’s a sign of being terrified as reality finally enters his world.
First it’s the blame game, a favorite fallback among Republicans these days. When confronted with explaining his terrible polling, GOP contender Ron DeSantis blamed ‘big media’ and the president of Mexico. Don’t ask me how he makes that connection.
