Let’s not rush to judge; I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation like, um… he needed to use funds from his campaign to pay hush money to a mistress. That’s legal, right?

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. He’s a Republican, so that ought to grant him some immunity. But as a Black man he’ll be a special target. I suspect it’ll cancel out and nothing will come of this.

Even Trump had enough sense to use crooked lawyers and accountants to help cook the books instead of just having political donors dump the money directly into his personal business accounts.
Of course that’s probably just because Trump has no idea how routing numbers work.

What I want to know is will it be prosecuted as a state or federal crime?
Hopefully he gets to win (a guilty verdict) when they vote for him again.

Maybe it’s best for everyone that he embezzled that $500K instead of using it for campaign resources that might have swayed the outcome of the election in his favor.
(Best for everyone but himself, I mean. I hope that fucker finally goes to prison.)

So of course he’s going to be punished in some way for this, right? Ah yes, I do make myself laugh sometimes. Ha. Ha.

Why wouldn’t he? It’s not like he’s going to suffer any real consequences for doing it.
