    Lmao of course Putin’s allies know trumps plans.

    They are Putin’s plans.

    If we genuinely allow this man to run for president and evade jail time, we should genuinely start building guillotines.

      I don’t live in US but I’m immensely surprised he can still run for President with all the things going on with him.

      Thought by now he would’ve been sent to jail/prison.

        Unfortunately the US has basically been running on the polite fiction that people who want to be leaders will be good leaders and behave like rational human beings.

        So when someone who has no good intentions and is not rational got into power, we learned that a lot of things we thought of as laws were really just habits.

        And as much as it sucks, it’s actually sensible that trump can run until he’s been proven guilty. Otherwise a wannabe dictator could just drown the opposition in frivolous lawsuits and bar them from running because of the suspicion of crime.

        Don’t get me wrong, I think trump is guilty as sin and is a danger to our democracy. But, we need to be careful how we respond to this, or it could be worse when the next maniac gets into power and starts banning people from running because all of his opponents are suddenly under investigation for tax irregularities or littering.

      To be fair, you could stop a random person on the streets of America of either major political party and ask them if Trump wins will he give any money to Ukraine and you won’t get a single different answer.

      You don’t exactly need an inside line to get this kind of hot tip.
