Yeah, because losing lawsuits, two impeachments, and the current indictments really indicate he doesn't do anything wrong. Bigly legitimate.
Those are witch hunts, duh /s
I'm a real boy!
Do I even want to know who he thinks is an illegitimate person?
Black. Brown. Poor.
You. Me.
Person, woman, man, camera, tv.
Anyone who doesn't worship him.
No that's not it. He hates his worshippers. One could almost argue they are his primary victims, if it weren't for the fact that the rest of us are their collective primary victims.
Technically he's correct he is a legitimate person, compared to Real Human Being T'ed Cruz.
But he's still broken a bunch of laws.
He is one being and not several
I’m unconvinced that MAGA people aren’t a hive mind at this point.
Could have been titled "Trump made a long, wet fart sound" and it would have had exactly as much value.
So, in case you didn't know, this is literally like textbook fascist argument.
Rather than people being good or bad based on their actions, you're good or bad based on who you are.
This is why during the "grab 'em by the pussy" stuff Trump was painted as a good guy who did a few bad things, like saying some off-color stuff on tape.
This is also why you'll hear certain people say something like "That Bill Cosby, what a shame. Sure thought he was one of the good ones..."
...so you can come to your own conclusions about what type of person you have to be to be considered good or bad in the fascist world view...
...or actually I'll just say it. If you're a white Christian male you're predetermined to be good in the fascist world view. Everyone else is predetermined to be bad... or perhaps has to earn being good until even the slightest of mis-steps proves they were exactly who the fascists thought they were... (not that what Bill Cosby did was a slight mis-step, mind you).
Same reason laws are enforced more harshly on minorities.
Yeah, the whole "I am an infallible god" schtick is getting pret-ty old at this point. As are you. I'd sooner let one of your kill-billy creeps cut my throat than to worship your dumb, dumpy, decrepit ass.
Big difference between " I don't do things wrong" and " I don't do wrong things"
Extremely rich man who is surrounded by yes-men and a society believing wealth equals success believes he doesn't do things wrong.
At least he genuinely believes that and it isn't a lie I guess.
Captain petulant-man-baby-who-has-never-been-told-no seems confused.
"I'm a legitimate person."
Wait, did someone cast [[Witness Protection]]?
Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall...

Like I'm going to trust Donald Trump to have any understanding of right and wrong.
He believes that the things he does are always right solely by virtue of him being the one doing them, even if they would be wrong if someone else did them.
He believes that the things he does are always right
I'm not sure he believes that. Although it's clear that he says he believes them, and it's probably true that he believes he can get away with anything that he's not physically restrained from doing.
I'm out of the loop, what tapes and what did he say?
basically a tape leaked of him committing the crimes, narrating himself committing the crime, committing new crimes and laughing with others about all the crimes they just committed.
Fake news. It's all super legal and super cool.
Yep! The one where he basically says "this document is highly classified....here look at it."
I believe it is about the tape from the indictment that CNN obtain.
The one where he shows top secret document of how Iran would be attacked if a war would start. You can even hear the paper how he passes it around to interviewers. The text from indictment made it sound less damning.
"I'm a legitimate person." WHY would you need to specify that?
Maybe he (or one of his aides) stumbled upon Tedcruzforhumanpresident.com and thought that's what they're doing now.
That sounds like something Mark Zuckerberg would say.
So, he doesn't do things wrong? So, he intended to keep all those documents?
I'd expect at least something like, "I'm the most legitimate person on earth!" from him.
It's easy to be unconcerned about doing something wrong when you're too narcissistic to believe you can make a mistake and too much of an idiot to understand why the laws exist in the first place.
His son is taller than him.
Lock him up.
"I don't do no wrong things, y'hear me? I'm Implecable."
