Trump would be hauled in front of the *HUAC. Based on his press conference in Helsinki, the HUAC members would go after him for his alignment with Russia, he then would be blacklisted, lose his job, etc.
I never thought I would wish to see HUAC in action again.

(67,102 posts)Trump and others bullshit would have been tolerated. I could just imagine Hoover having tolerated Trump. He would have had tons of sh** on Trump and his cohorts. Certainly they are doing this now, but back in the 50's the HUAC would have ripped Trump apart. Joseph McCarthy would have had a field day with Trump and his cohorts.
