    Let me rephrase it, because despite my explaining it, you still haven’t understood.

    Would Trump think you broke the law if you took all of the money out of his wallet without his permission? Obviously yes. Would Trump think you broke the law if you took all of the money out of another person’s wallet without their permission? Probably yes. He understands the concept that stealing money is wrong. He just wouldn’t think it’s wrong if he took all of the money out of your wallet.

    I’ve been incredibly consistent in the way I’ve described this. Trump knows that the type of actions he’s performing are wrong. He just doesn’t believe they’re wrong when he’s performing them.
