In reply to the discussion: I seriously doubt that TFG is done committing felonies. [View all]patphil
(8,723 posts)37. I've lived in the NYC area for over 50 years. Trump has always been a shady character, just like his dad.
He's actually a lot like a crime boss; fully immersed in criminal activities all his life.
And he's always had a lot of enablers around him; people who gave him the free pass, or at best a slap on the wrist. Now, with all he has gotten away with over the past 8 years, he's going to be a lot bolder and more upfront with his arrogant dismissal of the rule of law as it should be applied to him.
And just like a crime boss, he rules through fear. Even at it's best, he's always been transactional. "I'll do you a favor if you do one for me".
The next 4 years will be his crowning achievement as it applies to a lifetime of dedication to graft and corruption.

Um, duh. Criming is who he is at his core, it's how he thinks, it's how he lives and breathes.

Trump is a vicious, ruthless psychopath who has been given total immunity for any crimes he commits.

Yeah, I did little Tarot reading when I was young, and i agree that the Tower card is very devastating.
