I mean he was literally the president. I’m not a fan either but surely we’re not expecting him to have his door kicked in and for him to get dragged off in cuffs. Secret service following him around in jail?
I understand what you’re saying but I think there are a few points I can gather as to what is truly being said and why it resonates with so many.
One that you brought up about getting his door kicked in and dragged out in handcuffs as a hypothetical is that people shouldn’t have their doors kicked in and dragged out in handcuffs unless it’s actually necessary which in many cases it is not but occurs anyway and way too often.
Another one is that you shouldn’t have to sit in jail for an unnecessary length of time waiting to get out. The implication being that you’ve been arrested are waiting to see a judge which should be a maximum of 48 hours and any longer is unconstitutional.
I guess the overall point is that the former president is saying he’s not being treated fairly but in fact he is actually being treated very fairly which is how everyone should be treated. The fairness should not extend only to a former president but also to every citizen in the U.S. because they have rights.
However, because the reality is that so many rights are violated on a daily and consistent basis for the average low income person and also for people of color (which both actually might be approaching the majority at this point) it makes Trump’s treatment unfair by comparison.
And to have someone who formerly held one of the most powerful positions in the world state his treatment as unfair shows just how far removed from the average citizen he is and in many ways ignores the hardships of the very people he was supposed to lead and support.
By just simply complaining he told so much.
This is just how I see it though. I could be way off but that’s what I got.

It’s often said that, “no good deed goes unpunished.” But there are bad deeds that get away scot-free.
