Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

    Your bones are broken then, because that’s just straight up not how it works.

    Trump was fined because it was a civil trial that he lost. In this instance. His criminal trials are ongoing.

    SBF is getting locked up because it was a criminal trial that he lost.

      The laws that lead to such actions being classified as they are, are a direct result of the the rich imposing their desires on the world. Trump is a vessel for that to happen for most of them, so he is tolerated, more or less.

      The fact that Trump was able to commit the frauds in the first place and only get attention from the law just now is part of the wealthy’s SOP

        Going by that logic, hasn’t Trump defrauded big banks rich people have huge amounts of assets in?

          I didn’t say he was an ideal vessel. He’s just managed to somehow be cool(?)er than they are with the population, and they benefit still. I don’t mean like some illuminati type BS, just a matter of happy coincidences, and a few convenient occasional suggestions I’d imagine. Oh, and money.

          Besides, the amount he’s defrauded is essentially chump change once you consider insurance and assets etc.
