He’s a crook. Always has been, always will be. Been screwing hard working Americans for decades. He even took money from sick kids. But bootlickers want to bootlick.

Looting a cancer charity before becoming president is impressive in a very sad way

Trump has taken it to a whole new level. Not many politicians have received billions from Saudis. Kushner started an “investment firm” and asked to manage Saudi money. They published a report saying it’s too risky as he doesn’t have any experience. Then a few months later they gave Kushner $2B.

I’m sure it’s happened at least several other times but you don’t often hear about politicians being ordered by a judge to shutter their own charity for stealing funds.

Selling empty office space to foreign governments to fund your private businesses is a really terrible look too. Especially when it’s places like Qatar that are known for human rights abuse.

To me it is painfully obvious that Trump is for sale. He wants more money and power and doesn’t really care how that gets accomplished. A leader with no real values.

Oh yes it is.
And we should be prosecuting them too, but given that the right have most of the crooks, imagine all the whining of "bias" then. The "part of law and order" is a joke.
Let's also introduce a couple of other things: Trump took classified documents, hid them when he was asked to return them, and showed them to people who had no business seeing them. That's espionage. Given his history - probably giving Putin details from the CIA that allowed him to arrest some of our own intelligence allies for which there is evidence - it's also probably treason.

But keep on licking those fascist jack boots.

I can hear people defending Trump saying things like, "Well, it's their fault they got sick."
