From roughing up suspects to revoking bail, the 34-count felon has suggested harsh treatment for his fellow criminals
Donald Trump has spent years complaining that American police and the criminal legal system should be “very much tougher”, arguing that some criminals should not be protected by civil liberties, police should rough up suspects and a much wider range of people should face the death penalty for breaking the law.
Now that the former president has been convicted on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records, Trump is arguing that the US legal system is out of control. “If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” he said on Friday.

You might not be planning on marrying the guy, but I think it will certainly feel like a bad marriage when he refuses to give up power the second time around, passes laws with the help of his loyal cronies so that the control of the country goes to his sons/family after he dies.

Last night, a weather balloon was sent up.
Larry Hogan, a moderate Republican who is running for an open Senate seat in liberal-leaning Maryland, took to social media to urge all Americans to “respect the verdict and the legal process”.
Within minutes, Chris LaCivita, a top official on Trump’s campaign, posted a crystal-clear reply to Mr Hogan: “You just ended your campaign.” The implication: if you’re not with us on this, you’re politically dead.

If the R party is so bloodthirsty and vengeful, why weren't towns and cities looted and burned when he was convicted?
Because we are Americans who behave.
