When trump was a pro-choice democrat and businessman in the 1980s he was a crook (thread)

And this is just the shit we know of.... he's gotten away with so much his entire life.



Unrolled thread :

When trump was a pro-choice democrat and businessman in the 1980s he was a crook - nailed for laundering money through his casino and perjuring himself before Congress. When he was in the Reform Party and a businessman, he was a crook who broke the Cuba embargo in hopes of…1

…being the first lined up to open a casino there if the embargo ended (and lied to govnt that it was a charitable effort). When Trump was a tv personality and businessman, he was a crook who bought Chinese steel through a series of secret offshore entities, who put his name…2

…on developments he didn’t develop (then walked away from them when they failed, leaving buyers defrauded) ran a fraud out of Trump University, and looted a bogus charity he set up. When Trump was president, he was a crook who extorted an ally by withholding Congressionally…3

..authorizes military aid, demanding they announce on CNN a nonexistent investigation into Biden to get the money and arms needed to protect them from Russia released, when Trump was a defeated candidate after the election, he was a crook who engaged in so much electoral fraud…4

…through his lawyer that he complied, and continued to keep the classified records all over the resort. Crooks are always crooks. Everyone who knew him in NY during the 80s knew he was a crook. He has escaped prosecution by showing he would endlessly fight prosecution and….

…instead agreed to large civil penalties. This man has been and always will be a crook. Those of us who knew him well warned the public in 2016. The time has finally come: if trump is allowed to skate on his crimes again, the consequences to this country will be astronomical…7

…as a second term president, he will seize all power, cripple the federal govnt to fill it with his minions, and never be stopped. It is finally time for this crook to face what he should have faced decades ago: prosecution and if convicted, jail.
End
