It isn't the institutions that are sick - he is the sicko. One more classic illustration of inversion of reality.
LOCK HIM THE FUCK UP!!

But he enriched his building narrative that unnamed forces within the US government were thwarting his administration, just days after unloading on the FBI on Twitter, when he said the bureau's reputation was in "tatters."
"This is a rigged system. This is a sick system from the inside. And, you know, there is no country like our country but we have a lot of sickness in some of our institutions," Trump told the crowd in Florida.
Not the first time
It is not the first time that Trump has made such arguments -- he complained against the "rigged" system during last year's election in a gambit seen at the time as a face-saving hedge against a possible loss to Hillary Clinton.
But the context has changed. Trump is now the head of the government that he is accusing of conspiring against him politically. Therefore, his attacks against US government institutions, including the FBI, but which have also included the wider intelligence community and the judiciary are far more polarizing politically and risk causing long-term damage to already fragile trust in government.

what he says about others. Can you say "transparent", boys and girls?

(175,742 posts)7. What the fuck is he complaining about?
If the system was rigged, it was rigged in his favor. Is his lack of understanding simple concepts that bad? Yes, he is a sicko.
