Trump's been expecting to take a pre-victory lap tonight, with Berman gone and Trump and his family and associate thugs like Giuliani safe from SDNY investigations.
Now Berman's completely overturned that.
Not just with his refusal to step down, but with his defiant statement concluding that "our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption."

Trump will read that as a threat.

And once again... Innocent people don't act like this.

(16,616 posts)he drastically curtailed public appearances and let Speer and Himmler take over as the public face of Nazi-ism. Trump doesn't know any better. The whole Trump Thing is riding on him alone, and he's under intense pressure.
Now, Dr. Bandy Lee says Trump won't "break down". But I hope she's wrong.

(10,063 posts)From reports over the years, aides seem to fear his rages when he is totally out of control. If even some of his supporters start seeing the unbalanced man behind their image of him, they might turn awayjust as many did when he was doing the virus press briefings and came across as a totally self-centered idiot. He lost some independents and maybe a few moderate Republicans then.

(7,403 posts)Coming out around Labor Day. But I don't expect a lot of play on this issue other than the general claim of an out of control court system. But Trump has no discipline so I will be looking to see how soon people begin to walk out of his rally. And whether, as they leave, they attempt to provoke the demonstrators and what the police response will be. This has the potential to spiral out of control.
