I'm not suggesting Trump is innocent. I said these were largely politically motivated prosecutions. There's an old saying attributed to Beria 'show me the man and I'll show you the crime'. Something like 98% of Americans commit dozens of illegal acts during their lifetime. Trump is one of these 98%. It's the singling out of Trump I have the problem with, not whether he is guilty, innocent or somewhere in-between.
The only thing I can say is that theres been plenty of Presidents, high profile businessmen, billionaires, multi millionaires and also people subject to persecution. The way Trump operates with such a blatant disregard of common sense, still pushing narratives long disproven, practices on the borderline of common decency and is responsible for the division and devaluing of America across the globe.
Ive always said if he was a force for good, everyone would get behind him, but at every turn he’s cried foul, done exactly what he blames the other side for doing without a shred of evidence, been hopelessly out of his depth, lied and still lies, and ultimately leaves scorched earth and a litany of victims behind him.
I saw a great John Stewart piece where he concluded that everyone who steals money out of their charities actually goes to jail, except, yep you guessed it. Why is that? He’s a criminal who deserves to be locked away and its really is that simple.
