    Good. Breaking the law should inconvenience you.

    Has he tried … not doing fraud?

      Have some compassion.

      Fraud is highly addictive. He needs to be in a fraud rehab center where trained professionals can step him down from treason to committing misdemeanors in a safe, controlled environment.

        Treason is debatable with more information than we have available as the public, but he is certainly a traitor to the office, the document, and the people.

        Treason has specific definitions he may have met, but we aren’t fully aware of yet.

        But if it happened, throw the book at him.

        Make the Rosenberg’s deaths look like the happiest ending.

          He had a plan in place to overturn the government when he lost the election. That’s literally in the textbook definition of treason.

      He’s lying about having to be there. He’s also lying about it distracting from the campaign. Him being at the trial is part of the campaign. Him saying it’s distracting from the campaign, is also part of the campaign.

            It is interesting to see what he’s really like, is his outward personality part of being the perfect candidate or is it an act that he has spent a career practicing

            Where does Trump the god of the inbreds end and where does Trump the pathetic begin

    He’s a horrible person but as of yet nobody has really introduced him to consequences, so his delusions remain intact.

    He cares more about being rich than being president, hence this trial takes president over becoming president.
