I find it absolutely impossible to he shocked by anything he does. He knows that there is literally fuck all they can do, even after committing treason by siding with Putin. The Mueller report said if he wasn't sitting president he would be charged with obstruction, then Ukraine, calling the FBI Nazis, denies fucking a porn star while his immigrant wife is pregnant, then gets found out that he paid her off. Threatens opponents, incites violence, pulls out of Paris agreement, is Kims lapdog, tells the courts to fuck off, sacks people who tell the truth. How the fuck anybody could be shocked with anything he does, seems as if people have been in a cave.
He is emboldened because he knows the US checks and balances are fucking useless. He will get worse. Much worse. What's going to change him? Nothing. Absolutely jack shit.
