Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Nothing has ever stuck to this guy in decades. Anyone else would have been locked up for life with all these crimes added together. Why is this man allowed to run free? I am calling him Teflon Trump because nothing sticks to him!

Donald Trump has faced numerous legal challenges throughout his life, both in business and politics. As of now, he's been accused of a variety of crimes, ranging from financial fraud to obstruction of justice. Here's a summary of the key areas:

Criminal Charges: Trump has been criminally charged in four separate cases as of 2024, totaling 91 felony counts. These charges include:

Efforts to overturn the 2020 election (federal and state cases) Mishandling classified documents Hush money payments related to Stormy Daniels Business fraud in New York Civil Cases: Trump has also faced civil lawsuits for fraud, defamation, and sexual misconduct, including a high-profile defamation case with writer E. Jean Carroll.

Past Investigations: Prior to his presidency, Trump faced various allegations tied to business dealings, such as racial discrimination in housing practices and questionable tax practices. However, many of these did not lead to formal charges.

In total, Trump's legal battles span multiple decades and encompass a wide range of accusations.

So why does he continue to run the GOP with an iron fist, including making them not sign legislation to protect our borders so Teflon Trump could run on that platform? What about having Net Tan Yahoo(Netanyahu) over to his house during a war? Does this not break the Logan act? Logan act: United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. T

Also 18 U.S.C. 953 criminalizes any U.S. citizen in any place on earth "who, without the authority, carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign officer with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign about any disputes or controversies with the United States."

yet old teflon Trump goes where he wants on the Rape Express Jet.

He's been called "Teflon Don" for decades.

I can't understand how so many people still fall for his bullshit.

We knew he was a lying sack of shit back in the '80s before he got that stupid TV show.

The original Teflon Don was John Gotti.

He died in jail.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

He died in jail.

Maybe Trump could follow in his footsteps?

He was the head of a crime family, the Don. Like Don Corleone in the Godfather. Corleone's first name was Vito, but he was the Don of the family. Later his son Michael became the new Don.

"He was later given the nickname "The Teflon Don" after three high-profile trials in the 1980s resulted in acquittals ..."

I think it's the sheer amount of bullshit that waters it all down. Like: remember when he wanted to nuke a tornado? He was wearing his pants the wrong way? When he sold beans from the oval office? When he sold golden shoes? When he sold nft's? When he sold a bible? Remember when he said he'd run into a school with an active shooter in it without a gun? Remember when he threw paper towels at hurricane victims? Remember the every day where he has 30 cm long sideburns? Remember when he ripped out his wife's hair when he raped her? Remember when he held a press conference in front of a four seasons? Remember when he called ted cruz's wife ugly as a dog? Remember when people said that he sometimes shat his pants on his tv show? Remember when he lied about everything? When he said he knows more than the secret service? Remember when he golfed more than doing his job? Remember when he refused to use a different phone because it's a security risk? Remember when he stole and potentially sold classified information? Remember when he was known for walking into the dressing room of teen pageants? Remember when he payed off a pirn star with questionable money while being married and a champion of christian values?

Like, it never ends. What is there to stick?

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Any of those should have sunk a normal person's political ambitions.

The fact that Trump somehow seems to be immune from the normal realities of society is frustrating.

[–] axemurber@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

thats not true, he wanted to nuke a hurricane, way better.
