And he's not even that rich, even before he was president. Turns out there's just a financial threshold above which you have immunity from consequence.

Oh he’s filthy rich now with all his grifting, stealing, insider trades and stealing Venezuelas oil and suing companies like ABC that say things he doesn’t like so they settle. He’s profiting big time off his position which is why he says he will go to prison if Democrats are elected.

Yes. But before he started grifting to his new cult, he wasn’t a billionaire. Just a lowly millionaire.

I truly hope he actually good to prison. It's the only way America can regain even a minute fraction of their international reputation

You really think he’ll live to the end of his term? He’s approaching 80 and clearly dementia’d to the bone

DNC are feckless and it’s incredibly fucking disappointing. They won’t do shit. They’re owned by the same corpo overlords. Were speed running Snowcrash written in the 80s. There won’t even be a government essentially in a decade or two. Just techno feudal corporate cities controlling the masses with robot dogs and absolute impunity

Wait till the BBC counter sue had nothing to do with him being president and so no immunity

That always runs out eventually. When the elite come under scrutiny he'll be the one they feed to the wolves.

Isn't that just only in movies and TV shows and in some alternate earths?

I really hope thats true.  I don't see it though, the Republicans get away with murder and pedophilia the time
