Do enlighten us on how the government is attacking him unfairly, and the lies the media has told about him.
I definitely do not like Trump, and this comment is by no means me defending him. He has committed crimes and should be prosecuted. However, certain actions by Dems does suggest he was targeted.
One example is his tax returns. It is a tradition for presidents to voluntarily release them. He chose not to. Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.
I also think that prosecutors in New York would have ignored his fraudulent business practices, which they likely ignored for several years prior, if he hadn't become president and was seeking re-election.
Again, I am not defending him. Lock him up for his crimes. But I also don't think the democrats motivation is solely coming from the idea of "justice for all."
I am pretty sure the New York fraud case that is sending Trump spiraling is the direct result of testimony that his fixer Cohen gave to Congress. You can probably find the relevant testimony on the youtubes. If memory serves AOC was doing some of the important questioning.
That is 100% correct.
Also, nearly every witness against Trump in his criminal trials have been members of the GOP longer than Trump has.
