The reason Trump is in so much trouble now

is he thought the Presidency would get him out of the trouble he was in.
But he kept fucking up and getting himself in more trouble, the way he has his whole life.
Because he's a stupid, corrupt lowlife.
Like a gambler who tries to gamble more to get out of debt, he used one scam to get him out of the last scam.
Let's hope it all comes crashing down on him now.

with the illusion of wealth, power, and fame. Pretty damned far, unfortunately. His rise and fall might be a metaphor for that of our country. I hope not, but I can see things shaping up that way.

.... Washington DC, maybe Michigan will all be looking for ways to fry his ass good. To make him unelectable ever again.

He might have been better to have let the US Senate bar him from future office. Now people will no leave one stone unturned to nail his ass and keep him out of public office.

of places which most likely will have criminal investigations. He will have to pay the lawyers so he better keep grifting and squeezing every last cent out of his cult of fools.

I don't believe any attorneys general will have the guts to indict him. They don't want to face the backlash that would surely come.

It's high for anyone who's rich and famous. But Trump will be on another level. The AGs have seen what has happened to people who have crossed him, and they have to ask themselves if they want to do something that might end their careers.

DAs have said they were investigating trump for years, but nothing has happened. He might get nailed for a few more tax dollars or fines, but not convicted of tax fraud or evasion.

25. Didn't his lawyer say he should be criminally prosecuted?

In opening statement of the 2nd impeachment trial?

He argued that the Senate was not the place to try the former president. His crimes should be tried in a court of law. There are so many crimes. The FBI and DOJ will uncover some. NY AG has older crimes that will be litigated, and other state investigations for recent attempts to manipulate the votes. And there will be civil suits against him too.

We shall see, and will hear about these for years to come.

with attacking our government. They aren’t the least bit concerned. In fact they are out there right now changing what vote gets counted and changing how we vote. They are going for the jugular on democracy. Dems . . . Liberals have to fight back . . . or this 2020 election will be the last time we win the Whitehouse.

and when he does his rallies, he will charge his minion followers on entry fee, to cover his $500,000 charge.
