Trump’s tweets appear to be part of an effort to weaken public confidence in American institutions, not just DOJ and the FBI, but also the “so-called” courts, the “fake news” media, the supposedly lying, incompetent intelligence community, and others. Trump is destroying Americans’ opinion of the importance of law enforcement to the country’s welfare, about the integrity of the the FBI, the free press, the courts, and about commitment to the rule of law.
