Yesterday, When Trump Announced, "That's How Business Done," He Clued in America & the World

He is not in the White House to act as president or govern. He’s only there to do business, to enrich himself and his family, and is completely fine with breaking the law to do it. Trump is a loud and proud criminal and has dared us to do anything about it.

treason, and thanks to the cowardice of Robert Mueller and the blatant criminality of William Barr, they're also getting away with the greatest coverup in American history. It remains to be seen if the democrats can do anything about it now that Trump has escalated his cowardly obstruction of justice by ordering complete non cooperation with the Congressional investigations by every former and current member of his corrupt administration.

Every republican in the Congress took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Trump is the most dangerous domestic enemy of the Constitution since the antebellum period. Their failure to stand up to him is every bit as treasonous as his pro-Russian machinations during the campaign and every day since he took office.

There's no telling what kind of criminality they and their Russian allies have in store for the next election. Trump knows damn well that if he loses, he'll be charged with multiple criminal counts on Jan. 21, 2021. He'll stop at nothing to steal the election.

breaking laws to enrich himself. Nothing has ever stopped him his entire life. It’s the only way he knows. I would like to know how he has gotten away with staying out of prison all these years.

It’s disgusting that this was all known about him before he was elected, yet, idiots, well racist and bigoted idiots, didn’t care and voted for him anyway.

No shit. Criminals generally do not call the FBI when they see a crime in progress. Because they are generally the ones committing the crime.

since he has never faced any accountability or consequences for any of his criminal activity, it is beyond him to even believe that he ever will.

Unfortunately, he may be right, since Republicans revel in his criminality and Democrats may not even pursue any accountability for it because Republicans will call them uncivil.

They know he's a con man as much as anyone; he's just their con man.

as it would be "unseemly" for an ex president to be prosecuted.

That's IF he ever leaves office. I'm starting to think that he'll just stay there and no one will do anything about it.

This is extreme frustration talking...I hope someone would do something, but I'm not holding my breath, heck, congressional subpoenas and laws aren't even a thing anymore or so it seems.

the Dems have to so no mercy, and all they've ever shown is mercy. evidence? Bush and Cheney aren't in the Hague for the destruction of Iraq.

we're in real danger of a dictatorship. who or what's going to hold this Asshole to account?

screaming into the void.

This is upsetting, because with W/Cheney, at least I knew that there would be a return to at least marginal sanity at some point.

Now? I don't know that it is possible. The DOJ has decided that there is no rule of law.

and buzz phrases. Actually stood there and declared the Mueller report didn’t find anything. More “no collusion, no obstruction.”

In 2016

He will cheat again in 2020 (and is asking for help from foreign governments)

He is a cheater who can't win without cheating!

And he just admitted to it all: breaking the law, treason, criminal activity, and he will continue..

Rationalizing, "Everyone does it &quot No- just his family and his associates)

Impeach the biggest cheater/ liar NOW!

And charge the rest of them with their crimes!
