You know, if you do a curve fit on that data, you'll see that US Presidents have become more criminal over time.

Digging into the numbers a bit more, I've noticed a disturbing trend. Felony charges against presidents has skyrocketed shortly after we had our first black president. I'm just looking at the numbers and asking questions #factsnotfeelings

LOL, how does he think that pleadimg the 5th during evidence gathering phase is going to help? They don't need his testimony to prove he incited the insurrection.

Everyone discounts the 'others' who are helping both sides to keep them fucking one another, but lets pretend it's just 'his fans'.

That well is running dry.

Former President Donald J. Trump’s political action committee, which began last year with $105 million, now has less than $4 million left in its account after paying tens of millions of dollars in legal fees for Mr. Trump and his associates.

Saudi money will be in at any moment. They threw $2 Billion at Jared for “no apparent reason”.

Oh there's a reason, we just don't know.

It’s very sus.

Jared Kushner received a $2 billion investment from the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund for his newly formed private equity firm[1][3][5]. The investment came six months after Kushner left the White House[5]. Kushner had been seeking a Saudi investment, and the internal fund records and correspondence obtained by The New York Times show the outcome, scale, and timing of his firm's deal as well as the debate it aroused[1]. Kushner had helped broker $110 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia over 10 years while he was in the government, and he had set up a nonprofit to promote economic and other ties between the countries after leaving the government[1][2]. The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into the $2 billion investment by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia into Kushner's firm Affinity[4]. The investigation will help inform the committee about whether federal ethics laws need to be strengthened so that senior public officials can't take advantage of their government roles to benefit financially[4].

I wish there were a group of people that would just follow Trump around and point and loudly laugh at him continuously. I feel like it’d really piss him off, which would be enjoyable.

I like this idea. Can we crowd-fund this?

Invoking the 5th amendment in a civil case can be used against you in that case. Objectively, the civil cases probably ought to wait so that he can exercise his 5th amendment right to its fullest in the criminal cases.
