I’m thinking with the GOP in control he will be able to.

Trump was a hardened, gangster like criminal in NY City for nearly 40 years and was never arrested or even charged with a crime.

In fact, he was rewarded. The more rules he broke, the more people he shafted with bankruptcy, the BETTER the elite liked him.

MikeS, I don’t think the elite EVER liked him. That is part of his resentment.

Maybe they did not like him, but, they kept him on the team. Bloomberg routinely golfed with him. Many NY elite stayed on his good side.

Reason: They ADMIRED what he was doing.

Screwing the "little people" d'you mean?

Follow the money. They were joined in protecting their wealth, power, and privilege.

I think rather they FEARED what he might do to harm them. The choreographed rallies make him feel liked.

And so disgusting, he was elected with voters knowing about his bankruptcies (I’m a great businessman), his taxes (under audit?) his sexual assaults and accusations and more and more. Is that called transparency? Enough votes to, legal or illegal, continue his crimes in plain sight. And why not? He must be feeling he has immunity. Or impunity. But he wasn’t voted in or supported by only the wealthy, was he? Look at his base. The wealthy aren’t wearing red hats. And so far he’s spot on.

He's desperate. He's going to get nailed.
