(And yes, I realize he was impeached, but trying to negotiate for dirt on your opponent with a foreign leader is in a wholly different degree of violation than clinging to power after losing an election)
People were saying that all that talk about building the border wall was just hyperbole and he was only saying that he was going to take a harder stance on immigration. And then he went ahead and tried to build a ****ing literal border wall and shut down the government in the process.

You said him saying that he might not accept the results of the election was just chest beating and I'm saying that sometimes Trump goes through with the chest beating to the shock of everyone. Do not underestimate Trump. He might be an idiot but if you give him an inch he will take a mile.
