Insiders Unimpressed by Trump's Tough Guy Posture Amid Indictment Charges

Former insiders of Donald Trump's inner circle have said that the ex-president's bravado in public appearances belies a complete inability to grasp what it means for him to become a defendant in a criminal case. Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and niece of Donald Trump, said that her uncle's psychological disposition makes it impossible for him to understand that the charges against him are real, rather than just something political that can be willed away with sheer bluster. Trump's ex-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said his former employer won't react well to any judge placing any conditions on him and would rather see the country burn than accept responsibility.
