I recall watching a short documentary about dictators and how, when they do things that are obviously corrupt and say things that are obviously lies, and get away with it, it actually makes them stronger. A lot of Trump's supporters know he lies about everything and isn't a good person, but for some reason, a lot of people are impressed by people who can do it with impunity. It's like a huge display of power.
Meh.. every single thing you do to Trump people argue will make him stronger. Arrest him - makes him stronger as he becomes a political prisoner. Don't arrest him - makes him stronger because he's above the law. Talk about him on TV - makes him stronger because its free advertising. Don't talk about him on TV - makes him stronger because you are afraid of him.
