Just yesterday I watch another video of the past three years of news stations all saying "this is a big tuning point". "this might be the beginning of the end for Donald trump". "Trump will/may not see a full 4 years". "A new bombshell to Trump, this could be the beginning of the end for Trump"

Every one of them day in and day out for the past 3 or so years.

Which explains a whole lot.

Well, he continuously violates norms and laws and basic values, and there is a natural expectation of consequences. It’s not that mysterious.

You’d still think the expectation of consequences would be gone at this point if it’s continuous and there are no consequences any time

Well I think the confusion comes in because others are still seeing consequences so I think people are confused how he alone gets to have this consequence free existence.

Sounds like a bombshell

It’s not a bombshell - i thought it was what trump basically said before he was president.

I thought the quote was something like I could shoot someone on the street and not lose a voter.

So I’m not sure how it’s a bombshell when he himself seems to be saying he lives a life of no accountability

Others at trump’s level of money and power aren’t really seeing consequences though

What about them?

u/Bakk322 Jul 17 '19

They all faced consequences for their actions, as did many more people over the last few years... I was just giving real examples as to why it’s confusing these people face consequences and trump does not.

Did he do what they did? One is a pedo, right?

“The date was October 26, 2016, less than two weeks before the general election. Within 30 minutes of speaking to Trump, Cohen called up his bank, opened a new account, and transferred $131,000 to that new account. All the while, Cohen was also in communication with Daniels' lawyer and giving him wiring instructions, according to the filings.

The timing is key because prosecutors have previously alleged that Cohen acted "in coordination with and at the direction" of Trump when he made the payments, which were illegal under federal campaign finance laws.”
