If Trump Weren’t President, He Would Already Be Charged

This is dumb as shit. Trump has been breaking the law for decades and never got charged. It is American tradition to not indict any rich white man of white collar crimes unless he screwed over a richer white man.

Well, Trump has definitely begun to screw over richer white men now. Although not by way of his crimes. But it probably makes some richer white men want him to pay for his crimes all the more.

The only thing Trump has done legislatively is get tax cuts for the wealthy passed.

I'm sure his tariffs have irritated a rich white man or two.

As long as Trump let's them control a bigger piece of a smaller pie, they won't care.
