I'm So Over This "Argument"

Trump has long proven to have more lives than even the luckiest of felines. Now, as legal and political peril mount ahead of 2024... will he continued to evade the laws of political gravity? My latest w @jdawsey1 + @hollybdc. https://t.co/J1mSEzWoIz

Trump doesn't have nine lives and an amazing ability to evade prosecution. When was the first time he was criminally investigated and skated away? Please, tell me.

Trump proves that rich white people don't go to jail at nearly the rate poor white and non-white people do.  There's a reason for that.  Prosecutors are judged on their record.  Bringing charges against rich white people takes time and may involve acquittals, since it's usually a circumstantial case (see, e.g., the case against Alex Murdaugh, which even the prosecution admitted was mostly circumstantial), not a case of being caught "red-handed."

There's a reason Trump's bookkeeper went to jail in the New York fraud case, and not Trump.  They couldn't connect Trump to it sufficient to make him liable.  That's the primary way rich white guys escape criminal prosecution.

Poor whites and non-whites go to jail for physical acts:  thefts, assaults, murder, rape.  Rich white guys?  E. Jean Carroll is suing Trump for sexual assault; he's not being prosecuted for rape.

Serial rapists tend to get arrested and go to jail.  Unless they're rich guys, like Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump is not a magical, nor even a demonic, being.  The system rewards money:  pure and simple.  As for the "laws of political gravity": did I miss something?  Didn't Trump lose the last election decisively?  And didn't he lose the popular vote the first time around?  Were it not for the electoral college, we'd never have seen him hold public office at all.

What is this "political gravity" you speak of?
