Trump is a felon now. He’s been a felon for about a week, and I’ve been trying to figure out how I feel for most of it. If you follow me on social media you know that I have not exactly been all aboard the Stormy Daniels Election Interference Train. I’ve argued that the triviality of this case diminishes the other, far worse crimes Trump has committed — crimes that I believe should land Trump in jail for the rest of his miserable life. Unlike Trump’s treasonous actions between November 3rd 2020 and January 6th 2021, and unlike Trump’s egregious mishandling of classified documents, business fraud is the kind of chickenshit criminality we usually overlook in former Presidents. The political motivations behind the Stormy Daniels trial are obvious, and I didn’t like the precedent such a trial establishes.
Felonious Trump
