When Donald Trump insinuated this week that his successor and the FBI were out to kill him, he showed how central violence has become to his conception of political leadership.
His view of presidential power is absolute-to the point that his lawyer recently argued before the Supreme Court that ordering the military to assassinate a political rival 'could well be an official act.'
Trump's complaint arose from a misunderstanding about FBI's search at Mar-a-Lago; FBI had strict use-of-force guidelines. Similar conditions applied in a search at Biden's home.
The FBI carefully planned the search at Trump's property in compliance with established rules and limitations on the use of force.
