Bill Schneider: “Defiance is Donald Trump’s signature attitude; it was the defining characteristic of the 2016 Trump campaign. Trump defied the political establishment, the news media, conventional wisdom, common decency, former President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain (R-AZ), former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and even the pope.”

“Trump’s supporters admire his defiance, which they see as fearlessness. They share his contempt for the establishment, the news media, educated elites and the norms of political correctness, all of which helps explain why Trump’s base is sticking with him now that he has antagonized the entire national establishment.”

“Are Republican voters dismayed by the indictments coming from the special counsel? Not at all. To Trump and to his base, special counsel Robert Mueller represents the national establishment passing judgment on the president.”

3. When push comes to shove

There is barely a dimes worth of difference between the Trumpian GOP and establishment GOP. The agenda in Congress is the same, as is the vision of a far-right judiciary. It's more a matter of style than substance. The grotesque false equivalence part is where Trumpista cultists summarily pair the likes of, say, Mitch McConnell and Robert Mueller as "establishment foes".

6. Trumpanzees think the rule of law is a personal attack on them

In other words, Trumpanzees are admitting they're loyal to a career criminal.
