For whatever reason norms/laws just don’t apply to Trump. He’s above the law; it’s baffling.

Yes exactly. Not sure why either. But laws do not apply to him, they never have, and they never will. He knows that, too.

The reason is he’s positioned himself perfectly to have shared benefit and shared destruction in many other’s incentive structures.

It's not baffling. He just thinks that laws don't apply to him.

  • To be fair the Supreme Court just gave him an out to all but the most heinous crimes conducted as "official acts". He can do almost anything he wants and not worry about going to prison, and he can pardon all of his underlings.
