    Please don’t perpetuate this myth. He was tried, and found guilty, for falsifying business records to cover up payments that he made for purposes that many of his voters would find objectionable in order to hide that objectionable information from those voters to prevent them from making an informed decision and affecting an election.

      Bush Jr should have been convicted for mass murder. Obama should have been convicted for drone strikes.

        I’m not disagreeing with you, but at least those awful actions are plausibly covered as a presidential act made in the country’s interests. I’m not saying they were good for the US, just that they could argue that was the process.

        Trump’s shit is all self-serving and against the interests of the United States.

          presidential act made in the country’s interests.

          If your country’s interests require committing mass murder (like Bush Jr or Obama did), then your country is an awful evil place.
