Some people are simply incapable of understanding certain things, no matter how simply or repeatedly those things are explained to them. You could spend all day explaining to me how to take apart a car engine, and I still wouldn’t have the first clue. Other people are incapable of understanding algebra. Donald Trump, as it turns out, is incapable of understanding what obstruction of justice is, even after his own people have spent the past year trying to get him to understand why it’ll lead to his demise.

Trump is already the subject of a criminal case for his illegal firing of FBI Director James Comey, and this week we learned that he also illegally tried to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller last week. Last night we learned that he’s still trying to illegally fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. His own people are still standing in the way of such moves, because they understand that he’d be committing yet another felony with each firing, and they don’t want to be a part of the criminal conspiracy. And then there’s Trump himself, who by his own words, still doesn’t get it.

Trump is “frustrated and at times angry” about the fact that he’s not able to simply order people at the Department of Justice to do his personal bidding, according to a new Washington Post report (link). He keeps referring to DOJ officials as “my guys” as if they worked for him, when in fact they’re government employees who are required to do their jobs in accordance with the law, as is he.

As Donald Trump’s own people continue to try to stop him from committing even more obstruction of justice felonies, they’ve surely explained to him that the more brazen he gets with it, the more he cements his inevitable landing spot in prison. He’s incapable of getting it. Instead he’s merely getting angry about it. He’ll still be yelling around in a confused manner when they eventually slap the handcuffs on him.
