“Trump has drastically reshaped the Secret Service during his two terms - and always had a sixth sense for sniffing out the law enforcement that was willing to play ball and help him achieve his objectives.
Former NYPD ‘rammer’ Keith Schiller (who served on a narcotics task force in upper Manhattan and approached Donald Trump one day in court and asked for a job) fashioned a two decade career out of this before Trump ever stepped foot in the Oval Office, often acting as his enforcer and helping hide his infidelities and outright assaults.
Schiller would probably still be faithfully by DJT’s side if not for the assignment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel in May of 2017, after which the first thing Trump did was send Keith out of Washington, DC and arrange for a $15,000 a month stipend by the RNC to keep his mouth shut.
Keith was also the guy who broke into Dr. Harold Bornstein’s office and stole Trump’s medical records a few months earlier, at the start of Trump’s second term. Dr. Bornstein was a notorious ‘Dr. Feelgood’ on the Upper East Side for decades and Trump’s gastroenterologist who served as his primary physician since the 1980s.
Basically, he was Trump’s drug dealer, who died in the bathroom of his Scarsdale, New York home in January 2021. His family never released the cause of death, but took out a quiet notice in The New York Times. The doctor’s sudden and somewhat mysterious death was overshadowed by the tumult that arose in the aftermath of the January 6th Trump-backed MAGA-attempted coup d’état.
By that time of course, Trump was under the care of good ole ‘Doc Ronny’ during his notorious run as the Director of the White House Medical Unit. Ronny Jackson is now a Texas Congressman, one of the closest members of DJT’s inner circle and the only physician to chime after the Butler, PA assassination attempt - lying to the American public about a non-existent gunshot wound.
Of course a small army of greaseball lawyers and media opportunists enabled Trump’s awful behavior as well - and has become a very codependent element in our lurch towards autocracy. A trend which shows no sign of abating.“
