    The problem isn’t that a convicted felon can be president, the problem is that a convicted felon can’t get other jobs and vote. We should stop dehumanizing felons.

          Well considering he’s remorseless about his crimes and plans to commit more, I think maybe it’s fine to keep on them for this too. It’s also not like he’s served his debt to society.

            He’s not planning to commit crimes, he’s planning to legally perform unlawful acts.

            The former is your typical burglar. The latter is literally Hitler.

              I sometimes wonder if Trump even realizes half of what he does is a crime as opposed to just doing what it takes to make more money or what he’s done since like the 70s. But then I realize I’m trying to understand Trump and attempt to think about literally anything else, cause I do not have the post graduate degrees to truly comprehend.
