A nutty week by any standards. But I want to call attention to what @realDonaldTrump is really aiming for. It’s not a distraction, it’s not to motivate his base, it’s not based on anything other than fear. 1/3

The orange perp knows that what awaits him in 39 days is a resounding electoral defeat. Yes, his cronies may pardon him on federal level but his bigger issue is w/ the distinguished Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance whose team has sniffed out this Trump family scam. 2/3

They are ready to pounce. Everything Trump thinks/breathes everyday is aimed at 1 thing, staying out of jail. He wants leverage to get a pardon from @NYGovCuomo before he will leave 1600 Penn. Prison won’t suit him or family well and his survival instinct has kicked in. 3/3
