    That’s a good rule to live by but I think we can take this one at face value. He’s definitely going to get indicted again.

      And based on his history of never being punished for anything ever, nothing is likely to come of it.

      But at least it sets a precedent that being president doesn’t make someone 100% immune.

        Trump has been punished thousands of times by the legal system. He’s been sued way more than other rich people because he commits small crimes as part of his business. Stop saying he’s never been punished.

        What you mean is, he hasn’t been punished enough. This year is the first time he’s been criminally indicted. If it follows his history, he’s going to plead guilty and try to negotiate probation.

        He never fights unless the opponent is small. The State of New York has won against him many times. He actually rolls over very easily compared to actual mob bosses.
