I remember that there was similar speculation during the primaries and campaign - that he was doing everything possible to make himself unelectable by showing how unsuitable he was. Too bad it didn't work.

The Republicans will not impeach him as long as they know his base will replace them in the primaries if they go after Trump. He's permanently safe from the Republicans. Not to mention the fact that he's promoting their agenda in everything.

not his style... he has Narcissistic immunity


Narcissistic immunity is the (erroneous) feeling, harboured by the narcissist, that he is immune to the consequences of his actions. That he will never be effected by the results of his own decisions, opinions, beliefs, deeds and misdeeds, acts, inaction and by his membership of certain groups of people. That he is above reproach and punishment (though not above adulation). That, magically, he is protected and will miraculously be saved at the last moment.

and it makes perfect sense. I have been wondering why he doesn't seem more upset since he knows that they will find him guilty of many crimes during and before becoming our fake prez. I guess that and the fact that the GOP Congress will never impeach him is what allows him to sleep at night. I thought it may have been willful ignorance combined with narcissistic sociopath disorder.

to anything outside of himself to see any behavior of his own as anything other than perfect.
