Is awaiting him in Puerto Rico. They want funds, so what better way to entice trumps base to the US TERRITORY. What better way but to have the FELON housed behind a bullet proof glass with a MICROPHONE for him to speak through to his Trumpers in the local ZOO.

Puerto Rico could charge him with crimes against humanity!

Trump could serve as an exhibit. 24/7 arm guard protection.

Why hasn’t the IRS audited him, and why hasn’t he been indicted for tax fraud? If he has lied on insurance applications, why hasn’t he been held accountable? The only time he has had to pay a price for his fraudulent business practices is the lawsuit involving Trump University, and that was a class action suit brought against him by hundreds (thousands) of people. Are government agencies and individual businesses afraid to confront him, or are they paid off to leave him alone? And if they are threatened or paid off, by whom? Maybe Russia is involved?

They do in fact audit almost all "rich" people. The IRS never denied they were auditing Trump before the election. If you believe career IRS people are in a conspiracy to protect Trump what about the NY IRS where Republicans have nothing to do with it? Why have they done nothing over the decades Trump has been doing business there?

I can't wait for the day when they are all behind bars. They have been getting away with murder for far too long and now that it's out in the open, it's just a matter of time before justice catches up with them.

Some politicians and other high level intel and security people consider
Trump too powerful to be arrested. So they don't want to try.

The guy ran business after business into the ground, kept declaring bankruptcy and abusing that to save his neck, was reported multiple times for stiffing contractors for payment.... and yet somehow still managed to own a penthouse in his own tower in prime Manhatten real estate?????

And no one thought to look into this? No one said "huh.... where does a guy with no money keep getting the cash to buy all this property???"
