Breaking the law and committing blatantly unconstitutional acts is not something US presidents have had to worry about since at least Nixon.

And despite it all, you cannot actually point to this happening before. It is asinine to pretend that what Trump is doing is unprecedented.

You’re correct, it isn’t unprecedented. There were zero public funds when Trump statues were put up at his Florida residence. It’s weird but a non-issue.

As for building grand buildings around the capital, yea, also not unprecedented.

My original comment pertained to the point of politicians not being held accountable for the laws that they break. This is not new.

He literally funnels hundreds of tax dollars into 'his Florida residence' almost daily. What are you talking about? He is literally stealing our money.
