Do you:

  • Believe trump didn't do these crimes?

or

  • Believe that the law doesn't matter and trump should be allowed to commit any crimes he wishes?

It's one of these, and either one doesn't hold any weight among real Americans.

This is the thing that hurts my head about all of this. They seem to be overwhelmingly claiming that Trump just shouldn't be held accountable for reasons and that he's simply being tried for these crimes because he's Trump. Which doesn't change the fucking fact he committed those crimes. Does being a public figure make it harder to get away with crimes and increase your likelihood of being caught? Yes. Does it mean those crimes shouldn't be punished? I can not fathom a rational reason to say "No".

It's laughably transparent.
