    partisan bs aside, it’s always amazed me at how many of his problems were self inflicted, and how little he does to help his own base. he shits on his supporters, leaves them in jail, jerks the GOP around eight ways from sunday, and they all continue to support him, so he probably believes he can navigate a reality where he’s facing 4 sets of ‘oh you’re fucked’ charges.

      Im stating the obvious here, but he’s counting on winning, sowing violence, and the grift. With these charges, its inevitable that he will eventually go all in(again and worse) on getting his people riled up, using those people to sway court decisions or worse. It’s a hostage situation more or less at this point. I don’t think he is particularly concerned about getting his story straight, or telling believable lies. Not sure he ever was.
