The latest revelation of Trump's brazen lawlessness and contempt for rules is that he shared vital national security secrets with some rando Australian. The usual take on this is "Why don't the normal rules apply to Trump? Anyone else would be in jail right now for this bullshit."
No, Trump is not magic. He benefits entirely from the latent misogyny that sank Hillary Clinton by just enough votes in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to become a minority president. This shocking development made all the Republican establishment who couldn't believe that they were saddled with this boorish oaf into true believers. As Marshall has said, "The GOP is a failed state and Trump is its warlord."
Because Trump has the unwavering loyalty of Cult 45 and that terrifies GOP politicians, any attempt to hold him accountable runs into exactly the sort of nonsense we are seeing in the House and among rightist media.
The walls, however, are getting closer. He can't bullshit his way out of every prosecution coming his way.
