You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law.

This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.

If only it was illegal for the government to blatantly lie. (Not that this DOJ would enforce that law anyway.) And if only the American people weren't dumb enough to believe what the government of the guy who lies constantly about literally everything tells them. Sadly, many of them are.

But the pattern says something else.

Same playbook. New language.

From Federal “Election Observers” to a Third Term

The phrase is “election integrity.” The goal is power.
