"Why Trump Can't Understand"

"To see his former associates convicted of felonies, and the special counsel charging after him, must gall Trump, as though the earth has shifted under his feet and the rules have changed. Things that people used to be able to get away with are landing them in prison. But what has changed is not the rules, but Trump's own position:"

David Graham at The Atlantic writes "[a]ctions that might have escaped scrutiny for just another rich man in New York City draw much greater attention when they involve the president of the United States."

And Jonathan Chait explains that "Trump has internalized the mob ethos."
