He talks about the DOJ witch hunt with the Mueller investigation, he talks about how they conspire with Hillary. This is not by mistake. He is trying to get people on his side.

I know people who have said even if Mueller comes back with evidence or proof that Trump did something illegal they won't believe it because they think Mueller and the DOJ are corrupt. I grew up in a small, very redneck town full of conservatives and I still know many of them. Many of these people believe the entire system is corrupt, but they don't think it is corrupt in general, they think it is corrupt with a prejudice towards Republicans and conservatives. That's scary.

I have no issues with trying to root out corruption and trying to keep the media and the DOJ honest, but the way to do it isn't on Twitter for the world to see or by barring news outlets from events because you don't like them. He should be using some discretion. Instead he is acting like someone who is guilty of something and has decided the way to keep from getting in trouble is to take out anyone who could bust him.
