When he talks about “my FBI” and “my DOJ” I want to throw up.
He’s like the No-Face in Miyazaki’s Spirited Away–a bloated glutton who is trying to eat the world. He inspires general feelings of nausea and revulsion.

So he’s taking personal credit and wants praise for the FBI doing it’s job?

“It was … my people … that helped her out."

I presume he’s referring to the FBI - who used to work for the entire (well, most of the) country.

The Tangerine Mobster is still upset Whitmer thanked the FBI and not him?

Well she didn’t have a directory of White Trash golf courses. Otherwise she would’ve called him up and said, “What are you crying about NOW, Donnie?”

“And we’ll have to see if it’s a problem, right? People are entitled to say, ‘Maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn’t,’” the President added.

Things have certainly changed since the days of the Central Park Five.

“Hey, I’m the one — It was our people that helped her out with her problem,” Trump told a rally in Lansing,

Donnie, by “our people” and “my people” aren’t you referring to the FBI and other Federal investigators? Aren’t you referring to the very people that your constantly malign, criticize, call out as corrupt and criminal, and threaten to fire? You are not helping them, You don’t give a shit about the very fine people of the FBI, DOJ, and other security agencies. The very same people who protect you and the citizens of this country, and who most specifically acted to protect Go. Whitmer.

And THAT is why Gov. Whitmer thanks them and NOT YOU!

When you see these towns, and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" Trump told officers during a speech on Long Island. "Like, when you guys put somebody in the car, and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over – like, don’t hit their head, and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head – I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?

Yes, Sir, Mr President.
