in Trump's behavior in business and his endorsement of his followers.

Trump endorses and is endorsed by anti Semitic followers. The RWers at Charlottesville were shouting, "Jews will not replace us." Trump said that there were "fine people on both sides," giving approval to anti Semitism.

But his former personal lawyer is Jewish. His CFO is Jewish. His son-in-law is Jewish and his daughter converted to Judaism. He is best buds, or was, with Netanyahu.

How do his neo Nazi followers deal with that? How do his Jewish business people and his family deal with it?

for Trump.

But I have to give him credit for trying to help turn a wrong into something right.

He was key to blowing the lid off this.
His presentation to Congress showing different Trump financial statements for the same financial period, that was gold - probable cause evidence material for a court.
Hard documented proof of some very irregular financial behavior.

I've been following all the cases against Trump.
To me, this one is the most devastating.
It badly damages his reputation as a successful businessman - basically, he isn't. He's a fraudster.
That will hurt his support among MAGAts because they get this kind of thing. We saw it in the Manafort jury with Trumpers.
And it destroys a lot of Trump financially.
He's probably going to have to file for bankruptcy protection.
