    He’s a mob boss. When will people stop treating him like he’s a normal person?

      Actually, that’s the problem. Nobody treats him like a normal person. He acts like a mob boss because doing so has gotten him exactly what he’s wanted so far in life.

      What judges need to start doing is saying “Yeah that’s nice. Maybe they’ll write to you in jail. See you in 30 days after serving this contempt of court charge.” instead of giving him what he wants on command every time.

      I don’t think money or influence satisfactorily explains how DT gets away with what he does.

      The thing that would explain it is if people think he might be backed by Putin directly.

      If you think you might fall out a window “accidentally” you’re going to tread pretty carefully.
