One key to Trump's rise was his tremendous attention-grabbing power. That makes one practically invincible in the modern era, when cheap information floods everywhere, competing for scarce attention. See this very important paper for discussion of how classic free-speech protections are now obsolete as protections of the public interest:

excerpt:
It was a common complaint during the primaries that Trump "sucked all the oxygen out of the room".
Trump receives frank performance feedback. Twice.

Trump says Republicans "...are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!" https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/924641278947622913
He will happily cause a civil war, I reckon.

There was never going to be an easy escape route from Trump. I see big trouble ahead.
The White House pool report noted drily: POTUSs motorcade departed the Trump National Golf Club at 3.12pm, passing two pedestrians, one of whom gave a thumbs-down sign. Then it overtook a female cyclist, wearing a white top and cycling helmet, who responded by giving the middle finger.
The motorcade had to slow and the cyclist caught up, still offering the finger, before turning off in a different direction. Motorcade is now gathering speed and heading for DC.
If you'll pardon my French... Shit just got real... I'd make sure you have plentiful supplies of popcorn.
Which shit in particular got real, Firemoon? There is just so much to choose from. Arrests? Impeachment? Oh Lord, let it be impeachment!
"Dozens of indictments".... "End of the GOP as we know it"..... "Farage will die in jail"..Sessions has apparently turned on the rest of them.....The Orange Tweeto is going proper berserk on twitter.
Have they been deleted? The last tweet is listed as 7 hours ago as I type this.

Considering how authoritarian the US can be I'm amazed the provider of feedback wasn't ruffed up &/or arrested.
