Neither President Obama nor congress prosecuted the Chimp presidency. So any speculations on any such outcome are based on "make shit up" since it never happened.

The USA has a very long history in letting go of such things. This goes all the way back to the founding of our country and those first presidents who were part of the founding.

I prefer to stand with them, although they might be similarly flawed.

I suspect that we will soon see about President Drumpf. That outcome is very uncertain, and a bit scary.
