He's doing it because he's getting away with it, and could give a rat's ass about what anyone thinks.

Look at what he said when the beer-chugging locker room pics came out: "To the very concerned media..."

He's a punk, a thug, who knows there are only two ways ANYTHING is going to happen to him.

1). Trump makes it happen, or

2). Democrats have enough of a majority in Congress to do something about him.

And November is 9 months away, so he's gonna party like it's 1999 until then.

Because he DOES...NOT...CARE, and he WON'T, unless Trump ORDERS him to.
