Nothing has ever stuck to this guy in decades. Anyone else would have been locked up for life with all these crimes added together. Why is this man allowed to run free? I am calling him Teflon Trump because nothing sticks to him!

Donald Trump has faced numerous legal challenges throughout his life, both in business and politics. As of now, he’s been accused of a variety of crimes, ranging from financial fraud to obstruction of justice. Here’s a summary of the key areas:

Criminal Charges: Trump has been criminally charged in four separate cases as of 2024, totaling 91 felony counts. These charges include:

Efforts to overturn the 2020 election (federal and state cases) Mishandling classified documents Hush money payments related to Stormy Daniels Business fraud in New York Civil Cases: Trump has also faced civil lawsuits for fraud, defamation, and sexual misconduct, including a high-profile defamation case with writer E. Jean Carroll.

Past Investigations: Prior to his presidency, Trump faced various allegations tied to business dealings, such as racial discrimination in housing practices and questionable tax practices. However, many of these did not lead to formal charges.

In total, Trump’s legal battles span multiple decades and encompass a wide range of accusations.

So why does he continue to run the GOP with an iron fist, including making them not sign legislation to protect our borders so Teflon Trump could run on that platform? What about having Net Tan Yahoo(Netanyahu) over to his house during a war? Does this not break the Logan act? Logan act: United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. T

Also 18 U.S.C. 953 criminalizes any U.S. citizen in any place on earth “who, without the authority, carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign officer with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign about any disputes or controversies with the United States.”

yet old teflon Trump goes where he wants on the Rape Express Jet.

    The media wants a fight because fights get ratings and $. It’s in their interest to make both candidates look equally good/bad. This makes them allergic to charges of bias which helps the shittier candidates.

    Man literally is a suspected child rapist, yet the supposed anti-groomers would personally offer him their infant children to rape before they ever even dreamed of applying any standards to him.

    It’s the logical conclusion of their association based morality. Don could actually murder someone on 5th avenue and the right would never give an inch on it because he’s their bastard and they’ll take their bastards over an outsider’s angels every day of the week.

    They don’t believe it’s evil for satanists to run a soup kitchen because they suspect an ulterior motive, they believe it’s evil because the satanists are evil so everything they do is evil because nothing an evil person does is ever a good thing. Same time, one of their own could be caught hacking school children to death with a machete and they’ll go to the extent of bashing their head into a wall until they forget their own now murdered children because he’s one of their own and “we don’t need outsiders to tell us how to handle our issues.”

    Because he’s rich and powerful and laws are just threats made by the ruling class, which he’s a part of. The law is primarily a tool of class warfare and as such is only enforced consistently and in full force against the working class. Very occasionally, one rich person pisses off enough other rich people to be subject to it, but you have to be extremely bad at the game for that to happen. The more rich people are subjected to the law, the easier it is to be subjected to the law yourself if you’re rich, so generally you’re better off looking the other way while they do illegal shit so that you can get away with your own illegal shit. Plus they have the resources to fight you, so it means picking a costly battle.

      Honestly, I wish he was shot down. He would’ve died, not as a mortar for MAGA that they were right, but as a mortar for democracy that citizens will use blood if their voices aren’t heard. We need more harsh reality checks and protests demanding he faces justice

        It’s martyr

        And as much as I want to see brains on the pavement it’s not the right move politically.

        Trump is setting himself on fire socially right now if he died in some violent fashion it would only enrage his supporters and they would vote for anyone who stands for trumps image.

        He should face jail time though. He should already be there. But at the same time imprisoning him right now could sort of half martyr him as well.

        We need the Republicans to personally oust him. Then his supporters hate the Republicans. Checkmate for Dems

    Not quite tho. He has lost in court several times. Paid for it. Forced to be there when the judge ordered it. And we shall see what happens in a few months.

    But anyway, it’s no secret that the ultra rich don’t need to obey the law. That’s old news, sad to say.

    The crowd that murdoch and limbaugh handed the orange parasite on a platter, does not care about pesky and boring little things like facts and figures. It is an irrational mob fed with bacteria-infested red meat for two decades. They can only be reached via the basest of impulses, ripe pickings only for the most ignorant and/or shameless of conmen. It doesn’t help society that the right-wing toxic propaganda machine operates at full blast 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    The oligarchy will never charge their own. All the talk of indictments, charges, law suits, etc are political theater.

      John Gotti was the Teflon Don.

      It’s just coincidence (or is it?) that Trump’s first name sounds like the highest title in the Mafia.

    Years ago I watched a documentary about Trump’s shenanigans in Atlantic City. Basically, he stiffs the contractors who build his casino. They sue, and so he hires some big shot lawyers to defend him. They get him off for the most part, but then he then turns around and stiffs the law firm itself! Like what even?!?

    And most of the US media is owned by billionaires who prefer Trump to win. Even CNN is now publishing hard fact checking of Harris while the calls to violence against the Haitian community in Springfield should be front and center… the language Trump is using is literally the same as what Hitler did pre WW2…

    He’s been called “Teflon Don” for decades.

    I can’t understand how so many people still fall for his bullshit.

    We knew he was a lying sack of shit back in the '80s before he got that stupid TV show.

      I think it’s the sheer amount of bullshit that waters it all down. Like: remember when he wanted to nuke a tornado? He was wearing his pants the wrong way? When he sold beans from the oval office? When he sold golden shoes? When he sold nft’s? When he sold a bible? Remember when he said he’d run into a school with an active shooter in it without a gun? Remember when he threw paper towels at hurricane victims? Remember the every day where he has 30 cm long sideburns? Remember when he ripped out his wife’s hair when he raped her? Remember when he held a press conference in front of a four seasons? Remember when he called ted cruz’s wife ugly as a dog? Remember when people said that he sometimes shat his pants on his tv show? Remember when he lied about everything? When he said he knows more than the secret service? Remember when he golfed more than doing his job? Remember when he refused to use a different phone because it’s a security risk? Remember when he stole and potentially sold classified information? Remember when he was known for walking into the dressing room of teen pageants? Remember when he payed off a pirn star with questionable money while being married and a champion of christian values?

      Like, it never ends. What is there to stick?

        Any of those should have sunk a normal person’s political ambitions.

        The fact that Trump somehow seems to be immune from the normal realities of society is frustrating.

      we live in a country where half the people thinking that “immigrants eating pets” is a hot topic issue worthy of discussion on national stage…

      the regime works in mysterious ways

        It is a hot topic worthy of discussion, like how could anyone this racist have any positive public standing? How can someone instigating racial hatred and violence not be shut down?
