Donald Trump, like the other autocrats, dictators, and tyrants he admires, will not let a crisis go to waste. Trump takes every opportunity to advance his own needs and interests despite (if not because) how many other people may be hurt in the process. This is both learned and natural behavior for the corrupt ex-president. It is who and what he is; he will never stop.
Trump is the first former or sitting president to be charged and convicted of criminal felonies. Instead of moderating his behavior, Trump became more antisocial. He even went so far as to sell pieces of the suit he wore to court during his New York hush-money trial.
