The containment I see is that Trump knows that certain fences are electrified.I'm not seeing a whole lot of "containment" yet though and the outcome remains uncertain.
He has already, and is currently, profiting from the Presidency. He has begun the process of plundering public land, of harming the air, water, and life for short term economic gain. Could go on and on. Some of this is irreversible it seems.
Why hasn't he fired Mueller yet? Why isn't he publicly out selling Trump properties or promoting them, aside from trips to Florida?
He's having to go through the motions of following the law as much as possible right now, to avoid stepping on a landmine that blows him out of the presidency.
Those are the containment's I'm referring to. If they weren't there, do you think Mueller would still be around? Sessions? Rosenstein? He'd be more involved in his businesses. He'd have more cronies in his cabinet in paid positions. He'd likely be working hand in hand with Putin on cyber-warfare issues, handing over the keys to ensure he can maintain power.
The guy has absolutely NO respect for our country or its institutions. The fact that he is even 50% playing by the rules is 50% more than he'd do in a different system.
ETA: I have absolutely no doubt that if Trump had the kind of freedom and flexibility that Putin has, he would've jailed Hillary by now, and likely would jail his political opponents or any opponents.
