Reporters focusing on Trump as a politician are missing the real story. Trump is a long-time criminal, involved in a vast criminal enterprise who makes choices to flout the law, enrich himself & protect himself. Now he’s using the power of the presidency to achieve these ends.

Cue Inception music.
