He was president for a short time - He was a criminal much longer.

That is why he deserves no special leniency.

He should not be treated like an ex-president, he should be treated like a criminal.

There is no "get out of jail free" card that comes with the presidency.

He has committed crimes against our nation. He should be arrested.

Any American that agrees with his crimes is no American at all.

1. Trump is a lifelong con man and a career criminal

[LastDemocratInSC]

2. He lives in gilded surroundings but down inside he's the same as

any other crime boss from Queens who runs his operation from a back street "social club" that has the smell of tobacco smoke and beer stained carpet.

3. Trump's purpose is clear...

4. I think the mob pay their bills and honor their word.

I worked for a mob guy for a little while. He always paid cash upfront. They don't want trouble over stupid stuff.

5. If trump gets away with it,

he'll have purged America of crime, because the Constitution dictates that all individuals be treated in exactly the same manner under the law.
