The crimes directly committed by Trump, his brand, his hotels & properties, his family, his global crime syndicate of multinational mobsters.
Money laundering, human trafficking & exploitation of women & underage children, drugs, weapons, & murder.
He wants an open door flow-thru for the criminal enterprise he belongs to.
Every move he makes is for the benefit, building & profiting of his international mob family
This has nothing to do with protecting America, its citizens nor its borders.
