    The media are fine with it. It’s drama to them. Drama sells. What doesn’t sell is Trump in a cell. There’d be a lot less stories after that.

      Why do you think they vastly under covered his scandals after his 1st term? They wanted this. They are going to make a bunch of money off rage bait while we all collectively get fucked.

      Everything being done right now is a social contract between the administration and media. Report my stuff, I’ll keep doing stuff worthy of reporting. Bad precedent.

      I would guess the world would get more hectic if Trump were arrested at this point, not less…
