You are, if you voted for Donald Trump. So is he. His criminal history will blow your socks off.
Over 5 months in 2023 he was indicted in 4 criminal cases: 1) The Hush Money Case: 34-count felony indictment for falsifying business records in New York to cover up a $130,000 to former porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 to protect presidential campaign. Convicted on all 34 counts by jury of his peers on May 31, 2024.
2) 2020 Election Interference Case: Indicted on four felony counts of interfering with the peaceful transfer of power after his lawful presidential defeat in 2020. He was charged with engaging in a violent, wide-ranging conspiracy to disenfranchise millions of American voters who did not vote for him.
3) Georgia Election Interference case: A Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury issued a 98-page indictment charging Trump and 18 of his political allies with RICO statute conspiracy violations involving 41 state felony charges—all of which involved efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results that went against Trump.
4) The Classified Documents Case: Trump indicted by Florida federal grand jury on 37 felony counts involving the illegal removal, retention, concealment, and lying about classified documents in his possession—documents he removed from the White House after being removed from office in 2021.
In 2023, he was indicted on 116 felony charges. He was convicted on 34 counts.
So what did he campaign on in 2024? He told voters he’d be tough on crime, just what they wanted to hear, since crackdowns on crime and drugs were at the top of voters’ lists in 2024.
ABC News reported he campaigned for the death penalty for drug dealers, more power for police and absolute immunity for officers charged with a crime on duty.
That’s strange. Because Donald Trump has a long record of violating or skirting the law. In 2019, a court ordered Trump to pay more than $1 million dollars to charities after he was convicted of using donations to his Charity Foundation “for his own personal gain.” In 2017, a court ordered him to shut down Trump University and pay $25 million to students at Trump University for defrauding them.
He’s been charged in 4,095 civil lawsuits over 30 years. At least 100 of the suits were about Trump’s failure to pay taxes. Our billionaire president only paid $750 for each tax year in 2016 & 2017. How much did you pay ?
At least 18 women have charged him with sexual misconduct. In 2023, a court ordered him to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million for sexually assaulting her. Four months later, he was ordered to pay her $83 million for defaming her.
Trump also has a “legacy of pardoning public corruption.” During his first term, he pardoned 15 officials in state, federal and local governments convicted of committing crimes while they were in office.
As soon as he’s in office, Trump says he’ll pardon people convicted of crimes of assaulting the U.S. Capitol on January 6, according to the United States Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia.
Takes one to know one.
