Always work from the premise, with Trump it’s either confression or projection.

34 financial fraud felonies.
Zero legal comeuppance
No fine, no jail time…nothing.

‘S OK. They’d be filed at the local county courthouse, right?!? 
“It’s highly unlikely we would have original documents for a 32-year-old transaction… “

Trump, fraud. This is my shocked!!! face.
If the statute of limitations has run out I’m sure something more recent can be found.

“Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud.“
Why would Trump even take a call from a Pro Publica reporter? Something ain’t right here.

“President Trump has never, or will ever, break the law.”
He meant, obviously, to say “President Trump will never break the law” but he knew that if he said it the floor would open and he would be swallowed in the pit of eternal flame forever.

Well, yes, of course. Same guy who used undocumented labor for demo of NY buildings; married two immigrants who were in the US under false pretenses; got his in-laws citizenship under chain-migration rules he hates; was convicted of money laundering by SDNY when running casinos; takes Adderall like a junkie; rapes women while telling lady voters he will protect them; has broken every commandment, yet wants to be seen as holy by evangelical rubes; bombs people while demanding a peace prize; cheats at golf while claiming to be a champion; once correctly identified crypto money as a tool of white-collar crime before embracing it that way; and ad nauseum, ad absurdum……. Proof there is no god is that MAGA heads aren’t exploding daily.

Determining ill intent on the part of the borrower is key to proving fraud,
I think Occam’s Razor decrees that ill-intent should always be assumed when Drumpf is concerned.

Trump lied for mortgage loans - snort - totally unsurprising. That he took a direct call from a ProPublica reporter - huh - whoda thought?

I hang what fading hope I can come up with that his murder of people on the high seas comes under international laws, and these crimes are outside of the SCOTUS get out of jail free ruling.
The rest of the world (other than his coterie of dictators) is sick and tired of Trump. The loathing that European leaders have for him becomes more out in the open every day. I hope that if he still lives after this term that he and his buddies will end up in the Hague to answer for their crimes.

I think DonOLD needs his hearing tested. He may have thought the reporter said Pro Republican rather than Pro Publica.

But years earlier, Trump did the very thing he’s accusing his enemies of, records show.
Republican Razor: Every accusation is a confession.

“President Trump has never, or will ever, break the law.”
That’s what makes his 34 felony convictions (among a myriad other crimes) so “problematic.”

If an international warrant is issued for his arrest, a nice golf trip to Scotland would certainly be in order.
