Steve, I listened to a podcast recently, where excess in testosterone might explain it all. It may be a characteristic of successful politicians, you need to be aggressive, indefatigable, motivated and so on.
If not reined in though, what will help you to political success may push you into ruin, as it happened with Mr. Berlusconi in Italy, and as it happened with Trump.
What we have here is a man who sees no reason why he shouldn’t be above the law. But in a true democracy no one is above the law not even the President. The Fuhrer and his minions have changed all that. A King can do no wrong 😑 Hmmmm I thought 1776 changed all that, but it’s like we are going back in time for a wanna be King.
