Good. Breaking the law should inconvenience you.
Has he tried … not doing fraud?
- Have some compassion.
  
  Fraud is highly addictive. He needs to be in a fraud rehab center where trained professionals can step him down from treason to committing misdemeanors in a safe, controlled environment.
  
  Treason is debatable with more information than we have available as the public, but he is certainly a traitor to the office, the document, and the people.
  
  Treason has specific definitions he may have met, but we aren't fully aware of yet.
  
  But if it happened, throw the book at him.
  
  Make the Rosenberg's deaths look like the happiest ending.
- But that's his entire business
- That's like asking him to stop breathing, he has been doing it all his life.
Bro you literally don’t have to be there lmfao
- He's lying about having to be there. He's also lying about it distracting from the campaign. Him being at the trial is part of the campaign. Him saying it's distracting from the campaign, is also part of the campaign.
  
  He’s insufferable
  
  He's campaigning for prison
- Wait what??
He should punch himself in the face and wear handcuffs and a gag. Really sell it.
- “I’m kicking my own ass here, do you mind?”
  
  My god, who did this to you?
  
  "A mad man your honor! A desperate fool at the end of his pitiful ropes!"
  
  What did he look like?
  
  "Uh...about 6'2", 210lbs, big face, kinda orange"
- I don't think he's got enough money to get Stormy to fall for that again.
He's a horrible person but as of yet nobody has really introduced him to consequences, so his delusions remain intact.
Boo hoo!
This prison is really getting in the way of my life.
"STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!!!"
Paywalled. :(
- Really? I'm using ublock origin on firefox, so I didn't notice it.

He cares more about being rich than being president, hence this trial takes president over becoming president.
