I don’t pay much attention to US politics normally, but it’s hard to avoid not reading something about the prosecution of an ex President. I feared for the polarisation of the US going back to when Trump was first voted in and the US seemed to lose its head. My fear has always been that the world needs a strong, and united, USA. Now it seems permanently divided and unfortunately the polarisation is only getting worse…..
1st: it was the democrats going after his money on charges where the supposed 'victims' (banks) saw no issue and were happy to continue doing business with him.
Theres no crime here but they decided on one.
2nd: a case jumped on by the democrats that typically is a slap on the wrist and at worst a fine, has now rendered NDAs useless in New York.
Theres barely a crime here and they made it into a massive case and then multiplied it 34 times over.
An argument can be made for the timing of both events leading up to the election being election interference. Also with most New Yorkers being anti Trump and the judge being extremely biased it was only going to end in one way.
Not long ago NYC was known for its luxury and the glamour and opulence of being in Manhattan. Movies like Wall Street and the real estate tv series only boosted the image of wealth.
These days its known for high crime, businesses fleeing, drug users on the streets...
...and now for being a puppet where the law has been weaponised against a political rival.
From success and fairness to...a failing corrupt city.
"If they can do it to him, what hope do the rest of us have"
If Biden wins...NYC will continue going down the drain.
If Trump wins I dont suppose he can or would want to help the city anymore after recent events.
How bad can things get now for NYC?
How long do you think it will take to recover? Will it ever go back to what it once was?
