"The trials are the message. They are the drama around which Trump plays his role as the unjustly accused victim, whose rights are trampled and who is the martyr for his oppressed 'deplorables'. He is taking the slings and arrows for them. The narcissist is the self-sacrificing saint. The criminal is the angel."

~ Sidney Blumenthal

"The liar is the truth-teller. If any Republican lapses in faithfulness, they are more than a mere doubter or skeptic, but a betrayer and traitor."
