What are this madman's latest outrages? Well, apart from wishing that Americans would sit up and pay attention to him the way Kim's unfortunate subjects pay attention to him in his slave state:

1. Crazy, Lyin' Donnie Trump has responded to the New York Attorney General's lawsuit to shut down the fraudulent Trump Foundation by hurling partisan insults at the office of the New York Attorney General. www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-trump-foundation-rep...
This undermines the Republic two ways. First, since Trump is a Federal official who does not (yet) have any direct role in the government of the State of New York, he is undermining the principles of federalism by inserting himself in the affairs of that state. Secondly, Trump's comments undermine the separation of powers, since the matter is now in the hands of the judiciary.
Furthermore, since the lawsuit involves Trump as a citizen and not in his capacity as the Toddler King of Fox News's Red State America, he has no business commenting about the case publicly at all. But then, toddlers aren't known for their restraint or for understanding how the grown-up world works.
Finally, this is a classic move to deflect attention away from the source of the problem. When things get hot, Trump tends to blame someone else for the problem. Trump, a man with a vast store of ignorance, never knows enough about any situation to respond to charges on their merits, so he does what tyrants and losers tend to do, which is deliver ad hominem attacks.
2. Next, Trump has assaulted the separation of powers within the federal government by declaring the judge's decision to jail Paul Manafort "very unfair." www.vox.com/2018/6/15/17468684/trump-manafort-jail-mueller
We should know by now that when Trump calls something "very unfair" (or "very, very unfair"), fairness is the furthest thing from his mind. If Trump believed in fairness, he would not mouth off about matters pending in federal court. After all, the prosecution is brought in the name of The People of the United States of America, whose interests Trump has pledged to represent and defend. Instead, in a spirit of utter unfairness, Trump is putting his tiny thumb on the scales of justice and pressing down hard. This is a disgrace.
