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.

Man literally is a suspected child rapist, yet the supposed anti-groomers would personally offer him their infant children to rape before they ever even dreamed of applying any standards to him.

It’s the logical conclusion of their association based morality. Don could actually murder someone on 5th avenue and the right would never give an inch on it because he’s their bastard and they’ll take their bastards over an outsider’s angels every day of the week.

They don’t believe it’s evil for satanists to run a soup kitchen because they suspect an ulterior motive, they believe it’s evil because the satanists are evil so everything they do is evil because nothing an evil person does is ever a good thing. Same time, one of their own could be caught hacking school children to death with a machete and they’ll go to the extent of bashing their head into a wall until they forget their own now murdered children because he’s one of their own and “we don’t need outsiders to tell us how to handle our issues.”

He’s been called “Teflon Don” for decades.

I can’t understand how so many people still fall for his bullshit.

We knew he was a lying sack of shit back in the '80s before he got that stupid TV show.

He was the head of a crime family, the Don. Like Don Corleone in the Godfather. Corleone’s first name was Vito, but he was the Don of the family. Later his son Michael became the new Don.

It is a hot topic worthy of discussion, like how could anyone this racist have any positive public standing? How can someone instigating racial hatred and violence not be shut down?

I think it’s the sheer amount of bullshit that waters it all down. Like: remember when he wanted to nuke a tornado? He was wearing his pants the wrong way? When he sold beans from the oval office? When he sold golden shoes? When he sold nft’s? When he sold a bible? Remember when he said he’d run into a school with an active shooter in it without a gun? Remember when he threw paper towels at hurricane victims? Remember the every day where he has 30 cm long sideburns? Remember when he ripped out his wife’s hair when he raped her? Remember when he held a press conference in front of a four seasons? Remember when he called ted cruz’s wife ugly as a dog? Remember when people said that he sometimes shat his pants on his tv show? Remember when he lied about everything? When he said he knows more than the secret service? Remember when he golfed more than doing his job? Remember when he refused to use a different phone because it’s a security risk? Remember when he stole and potentially sold classified information? Remember when he was known for walking into the dressing room of teen pageants? Remember when he payed off a pirn star with questionable money while being married and a champion of christian values?

Like, it never ends. What is there to stick?

Any of those should have sunk a normal person’s political ambitions.

The fact that Trump somehow seems to be immune from the normal realities of society is frustrating.

Years ago I watched a documentary about Trump’s shenanigans in Atlantic City. Basically, he stiffs the contractors who build his casino. They sue, and so he hires some big shot lawyers to defend him. They get him off for the most part, but then he then turns around and stiffs the law firm itself! Like what even?!?

He’s just so smart that he finds a way to get out of it. Remember, kids, only suckers pay taxes!

That’s one of the many things I don’t get. How did he get elected the first time, how could anyone have voted for someone with a long history of stuffing contractors? Bankruptcies? Questionable tax practices? This guy came in as a well known real estate developer fraud who ripped people off: individuals, small businesses, irs, etc, for decades. How did this ever fly in the first place?

And most of the US media is owned by billionaires who prefer Trump to win.
