Is Donald Trump America's Public Enemy #1? - Thom Hartmann
When historians look back on this era, they’ll inevitably ask how a nation built on principles of democracy, justice, and equality allowed one man to commit such a broad range of crimes and abuses, and whether Donald Trump is indeed the most dangerous criminal in American history.
To fully grasp the gravity of Trump’s actions, consider the extensive categories of his criminal and potentially criminal conduct, each more disturbing than the last.
First, there’s the relentless financial corruption. Trump has long played fast and loose with the law when it came to his finances.

Trump University was shuttered after a $25 million fraud settlement, its “students” left feeling defrauded. - Aired on 07/22/2025.
