A viral TikTok has resurfaced of a Donald Trump speech from 2016 in which he declared that a "sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial" would "grind government to a halt.” The former president was speaking about Hillary Clinton at a rally in North Carolina. The Democrat was not indicted and did not face a criminal trial over using a private email server during her time as secretary of state to Barack Obama.
Now, upon first glance, one might be tempted to conclude that this showcases an instance of hypocrisy - Trump demanding a clean rap sheet when it concerns others and being perfectly fine with getting power any which way himself, but upon closer inspection, it is obvious that this seamlessly fits into Trump’s system of moral standards, that system being best described as “ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME […] ME and also me”.
