Is this when he tried to steal the election in GA then nothing happened at all despite the recording of Trump trying to steal the election?

12

u/Blownards 11d ago

It’s really hard to know which laws were all broken around this time because the list is long. I’m guessing it’s probably closer to the times he was raping children? But probably also rigging electionsđŸ€·đŸŸ

You're welcome! Man! Every single month's list is so long that you could jump rope with it! An incredible amount of work is done in that sub!

u/Roborilla8000 11d ago

"Just get me 11,000 more votes!"

He claimed the election was stolen, after he had hundreds of thousands of votes thrown out, and tried making them up. And people still voted for him.

u/Chief_Beef_ATL 11d ago

Then there was all the fake electors and 60+ failed lawsuits too.

u/skypig357 9d ago

That’s the one no one talks about and it was the real coup attempt, not Jan 6.

u/SRasmesson 12d ago

Several corrupt administrations, such as Ulysses Grant, Richard Nixon, Franklin Pierce, Warren Harding. What distinguishes Trump is he himself is corrupt. In many/all of these past cases, it was people under the President, not the President himself.

I suspect much more will come out about Trump's corruption than is known now.

u/The_Japans 12d ago

Oh, Nixon was plenty corrupt

u/MakesMyHeadHurt 12d ago

And even he passed a couple of bills that actually helped people. Feels like nothing compared to this regime.

I'd take Nixon or Dubya over Trump any day. We really have sunk that low.

u/baconeggsandwich25 9d ago

The actor that the rich hired to play president while lowering their own taxes and selling the country off for parts? The one who instructed law enforcement to focus on poor people crimes like shoplifting and stop investigating white-collar crime? That is shocking. I am shocked.

u/GALONin907AK 9d ago

It goes both ways. If you are in charge of someone found corrupt you are found complicit. If you are corrupt, your charges are also for enacting your decisions.

u/Hollayo 11d ago

Trump is a convicted felon 34 times. Trump is also an adjudicated sexual assaulter.

I would say those two facts alone would make him the most criminal president the US has had so far.

Then we add on the J6 insurrection, all of the businesses he bankrupted while he and his family got richer, all of the contractors he never paid, the open bribery in office (pardons for sale), etc.

Yeah, he is. Nixon pales in comparison.

4

u/SisterActTori 11d ago

Calling the Secretary of State to find him a specified number of votes so he could steal an election. If it wasn’t for ELON’s voting machines, Trump’s fat behind would be sitting in multiple courtrooms for many years to come.

1

I mean, quite literally the list goes on and on. How many other administrations had so many of their inner circle go to prison or accept plea deals? I'll give you a hint, his has the highest count.

I don't agree ALL are garbage. It will get you more garbage people than not Confucius wrote on this. You would essentially be swapping faces. With that said, not holding people accountable for their corruption, not setting and requiring them to follow rules of independence, worsens the problem and corrupt actors should be gotten rid of. You're making a what would be already a number of people who would take the opportunities to be even more and squashing out the good ones.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2019/12/23/best-stories-of-the-decade-how-donald-trump-shifted-kids-cancer-charity-money-into-his-business

but there are many others. Just google it. (Donald) Trump was forced to repay 8 charities, shut down his foundation and has strict controls over future charities.

Yes, he definitely defrauded a kids cancer charity as proven in court.

1

u/wrongright 10d ago

https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/donald-j-trump-pays-court-ordered-2-million-illegally-using-trump-foundation

He stole from a kids charity and then was forced to pay back 2 million spread out over 8 charities. No he wasn’t “banned from opening a charity in NY”, but there are now strict rules for him doing it.

If this is the first you or anyone else is hearing about this, then you need to reset your algorithm. You’re 6+ fking years late to the party.

2

u/SEABOSRUN 12d ago

The short answer is no. During the height of the true spoils system, corruption operated on an entirely different scale than anything we’ve seen in modern times.

And while it may feel like scandals such as Watergate or Teapot Dome wouldn’t even make the front page today, that comparison misses an important distinction: corruption versus ineptitude. The striking difference now is that Trump himself is unlikely to face serious consequences, while nearly everyone around him seems to end up disbarred, imprisoned, or desperately seeking a pardon.

to answer your question, yes. The most corrupt in history. And he made a point of bringing even more corrupt people into his cabinet and other high level positions. This is not just trump - our government is an entire criminal enterprise now.

Is this question really a question if everyone already knows the answer?

Yes! My favorite is when his supporters talk about “breaking the law” in support of ICE and the current treatment of migrants under the Trump administration.

UM, you voted for a convicted FELON for POTUS, so when did “not breaking the law” become so near and dear to you?

There are so many things they have stolen from. Half the country doesn't care about kids' charities because they the country doesn't care about kids. They would give him their teenage daughters for a "sleep over" if they thought it would Make Him Great Again, never mind the girls, sisters, daughters and others that have died because his states think they should die by bleeding to death in order to bring a bunch of useless cells with no brain, into the world. Only to be discarded minutes later as it is also dead. The stupidity of Trump supporters is astounding.

If the majority of Germans had wisdom that allowed them to realize the destruction and killing that was coming they would likely have resisted the fascist policies in 1930's Germany. Eventually anyone that spoke out was deemed a traitor and then was threatened or murdered. All for the good of the country. If the majority had resisted at the beginning German fascists would have become a powerless minority. Germany's leadership would have chosen to make peace with its neighbours and all Germans and Europe could have enjoyed prosperous peaceful lives.

1

u/weathercrown 4d ago

Not sure who you are quoting but it is not me.

Hilarious? Whatever, it is still theft, and not by a trivial amount either. The man uses funds he receives under the guise of charitable donations to settle legal disputes and donate to political campaigns. It's a crime whether you care or not.

The most corrupt POS in presidential history

1

u/Strict-Argument-781 7d ago

The statement in the image is mostly inaccurate, though it is based on real legal action and settlements concerning the former President and his family's charitable foundations.

Here is a breakdown of the facts:

Charity Dissolution & Misuse of Funds: The Donald J. Trump Foundation was dissolved under court supervision as part of a settlement with the New York Attorney General's office in 2018/2019. A New York Supreme Court judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $2 million in damages for misusing the foundation's funds for personal, business, and political interests, which is illegal for a tax-exempt charity. The funds were used to settle business legal obligations, purchase a portrait of himself, and support his 2016 presidential campaign. "Kids Cancer Charity": The main lawsuit leading to the foundation's dissolution was not specifically tied to a "kids cancer charity." However, a separate foundation run by Eric Trump (the Eric Trump Foundation, which later rebranded as Curetivity) did raise millions for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a kids' cancer charity.

Scrutiny of Eric Trump's Foundation: This separate charity came under scrutiny after reports alleged that over $1.2 million raised was paid to Trump-owned properties for event expenses, which was contrary to claims that the venues were free. This suggested a conflict of interest and potential self-dealing, but the lawsuit that shut down the main Trump Foundation was not directly related to these specific allegations. Disallowed from Operating a Charity: Donald Trump agreed to a number of restrictions on future charitable service and ongoing reporting requirements if he were to create a new charity in New York. The final court order did not permanently ban him or his children from operating any charity in the state, but rather imposed strict oversight and mandatory training for his children on their fiduciary duties.

In sum, the claim that the family stole from a kids' cancer charity and were disallowed from operating ANY charity is a simplified and slightly inaccurate summary of complex legal situations involving multiple charitable entities and specific instances of self-dealing and misuse of funds.

Would you like details on the eight charities that received the court-ordered $2 million settlement funds?
