Watch his disgusting, smug, arrogant self-satisfied expression after he offers to destroy a state senator’s career and the toadies laugh at this “joke”.
This little clip pretty much embodies Trump in a nutshell. This man has no respect for the law, he thinks he is above it. He has no right to occupy this office. I still can’t believe there were enough people in this country to vote him into it. I sure believed President Obama when he gave Americans too much credibility and said it would never happen.

h/t to Penguinn for this comment:
But at least as important as the threat to “ruin his career,” is why.
The topic came up for discussion because the sheriff was upset that Burton wanted to propose legislation that would prevent the police from confiscating personal assets of accused individuals until they had been tried and convicted. Currently, many legal authorities seize personal assets, like house, cars, etc., the moment they arrest someone. Not impound, seize. They then just keep the assets until they are forced to return them by legal action once the accused has been acquitted.
The POTUS was furious that someone like Burton would propose legislation requiring that pesky Constitutional requirement of “due process” before governmental seizure of private property could occur!
To my mind, this is far more disturbing that just wishing to ruin one person’s career.
