They are worried that if Trump can experience justice they might just be next.

Americans are very odd.
I'd love to read a breakdown of how American culture got here. Outside of Trump a section of America just loves a grifter / cult leader. From Elon Musk to leaders of mega churches, there are just Americans seemingly willing to be conned.
Of course this is true in all cultures but America appears to execute grift to maximum profitability. Mega church pastora with 6 jumbo jets, etc.
Culturally, we also sadly don't seem to have many other measures of success aside from wealth, and a poor social support structure that requires people to seek out their own forms of support. Add in the pervasiveness of the "prosperity gospel", where the more good you are, the more money you have, and people flock to these conmen because they can't possibly believe someone that wealthy could be bad.
Seems like most Americans are attracted to extremes of all sorts, so extremists thrive.
Can’t not see that as a picture of him air dicking.
That's him with Putin and Murdoch
Well yeah, him being in more debt means he is more for sale
Fun fact if you go to join the police in the UK they will check how much debt you have as you’re more likely to be open to bribes etc.
Given Trump's track record for keeping contracts, let alone promises, I doubt he has a good track record with returning favors.
The dude’s been on borrowed time for years now. His heart’s gotta give out any second. I guess they just want an R win, regardless of who gets it for them.
