Nothing has ever stuck to this guy in decades. Anyone else would have been locked up for life with all these crimes added together. Why is this man allowed to run free? I am calling him Teflon Trump because nothing sticks to him!
Donald Trump has faced numerous legal challenges throughout his life, both in business and politics. As of now, he’s been accused of a variety of crimes, ranging from financial fraud to obstruction of justice. Here’s a summary of the key areas:
Criminal Charges: Trump has been criminally charged in four separate cases as of 2024, totaling 91 felony counts. These charges include:
Efforts to overturn the 2020 election (federal and state cases) Mishandling classified documents Hush money payments related to Stormy Daniels Business fraud in New York Civil Cases: Trump has also faced civil lawsuits for fraud, defamation, and sexual misconduct, including a high-profile defamation case with writer E. Jean Carroll.
Past Investigations: Prior to his presidency, Trump faced various allegations tied to business dealings, such as racial discrimination in housing practices and questionable tax practices. However, many of these did not lead to formal charges.
In total, Trump’s legal battles span multiple decades and encompass a wide range of accusations.
So why does he continue to run the GOP with an iron fist, including making them not sign legislation to protect our borders so Teflon Trump could run on that platform? What about having Net Tan Yahoo(Netanyahu) over to his house during a war? Does this not break the Logan act? Logan act: United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. T
Also 18 U.S.C. 953 criminalizes any U.S. citizen in any place on earth “who, without the authority, carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign officer with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign about any disputes or controversies with the United States.”
yet old teflon Trump goes where he wants on the Rape Express Jet.
Because he’s rich and powerful and laws are just threats made by the ruling class, which he’s a part of. The law is primarily a tool of class warfare and as such is only enforced consistently and in full force against the working class. Very occasionally, one rich person pisses off enough other rich people to be subject to it, but you have to be extremely bad at the game for that to happen. The more rich people are subjected to the law, the easier it is to be subjected to the law yourself if you’re rich, so generally you’re better off looking the other way while they do illegal shit so that you can get away with your own illegal shit. Plus they have the resources to fight you, so it means picking a costly battle.
laws are just threats made by the ruling class
you know, I’ve never heard it stated exactly like this but shit, well said.
I’m gonna have to admit to stealing that line from Dimension 20
Honestly, I wish he was shot down. He would’ve died, not as a mortar for MAGA that they were right, but as a mortar for democracy that citizens will use blood if their voices aren’t heard. We need more harsh reality checks and protests demanding he faces justice
It’s martyr
And as much as I want to see brains on the pavement it’s not the right move politically.
Trump is setting himself on fire socially right now if he died in some violent fashion it would only enrage his supporters and they would vote for anyone who stands for trumps image.
He should face jail time though. He should already be there. But at the same time imprisoning him right now could sort of half martyr him as well.
We need the Republicans to personally oust him. Then his supporters hate the Republicans. Checkmate for Dems
The crowd that murdoch and limbaugh handed the orange parasite on a platter, does not care about pesky and boring little things like facts and figures. It is an irrational mob fed with bacteria-infested red meat for two decades. They can only be reached via the basest of impulses, ripe pickings only for the most ignorant and/or shameless of conmen. It doesn’t help society that the right-wing toxic propaganda machine operates at full blast 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They do not want Trump in jail. He is the perfect enemy.
How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy
In its self-described “pied piper” strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new “mainstream of the Republican Party” in order to try to increase Clinton’s chances of winning.
The memo articulated a three-point strategy. Point 1 called for forcing “all Republican candidates to lock themselves into extreme conservative positions that will hurt them in a general election.”
That might have been the case in 2016. I think that changed after the election of 2020.
They waited to sue Trump for Jan6 until they were certain the trial would not finish before the elections and now "oh no Trump is running again!’
If they actually saw him as the danger to democracy they pretend he is they would try to win over voters by appealing to voters instead of just turning the trump fearmongering to 2000%
Or maybe they are trying to appeal to voters but a lot of voters support Trump?
he also did not pay workers, grabbed womens privates, withheld federal funds from ukraine to blackmail its president to write up a media hit job on the son of his likely upcoming opponent for re-election (which his party later used federal funds to investigate which is supposed to be about foriegn influence or such but turned into a gun charge and tax evasion [ironic given how much trump is very private about his taxes]). killed an iranian general with a missile out of the blue. I mean there is so much its hard for regular folks to even keep track.
Gotti was also Teflon, till he wasn’t.
