I couldn’t find any documentation of Trump admitting to any of this. Cites would help.
Ah, @Wanderfound, thank you for the cite links!
But they don’t substantiate the idea of admitted criminal acts as far as I can see.
In the first one, well, the President has the legal authority to fire the FBI director for any reason he wants. So admitting that he fired the FBI director is not admitting to any crime. It may well have been execrable, underhanded, deplorable, unethical, or whatever - but it wasn’t a crime. Nor should it be - the FBI director is not some unelected Grand Inquisitor who sits above the President, that’s madness.
In the second one, the future President seems to be bragging that women will consent to sexual acts with him because of his money and fame (this implies, of course, that they would not do so otherwise, but I digress) and he specifically says that these acts are consensual. He says, quote, “they let you grab them”. He says “when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything”. There is absolutely zero admission of any crime here - although, to my eyes, that’s a striking condemnation both of the men and women he claims behave in this fashion, and the show business culture that condones it. Super skeevy and crass conversation, and it’s appalling that any grown man who talks this way could reach high office, but I see no admission of crimes here.
In the third one President Trump says, that in some future time and place, he would order others to commit war crimes. I am not 100% certain if the USA considers it a crime for a President to issue orders that contravene international agreements - like several recent Presidents allegedly have - but I certainly hope that’s a crime! Nonetheless, saying you will do something in the future is not anything like admitting to a crime. It just isn’t, self-evidently - future crimes are fantasies.
So I still haven’t found any admitted criminal acts - just lots of reprehensible speech and behavior, and (in the case of things like Trump “University”) crimes that were not admitted. If I am wrong, I will welcome corrections!
It’s very difficult to track conversations about Donald Trump because there is so much exaggeration and propaganda flung about. It’s hard to know what he is really doing or has done when false statements are routinely left unchallenged, but challenging them leaves me feeling like I need to take a shower with Clorox, so I don’t want to do it. I think I’m going back to the knife polishing threads!
