  3. He lost by 7 million votes and decided to match it with a $7Trillion fuckup.

    Trump’s most enduring legacy could be the historic rise in the national debt
    It rose almost $7.8 trillion during his time in the White House — approaching World War II levels, relative to the size of the economy. This time around, it will be much harder to dig ourselves out.

    When the Government forces businesses to shut down they are obligated to compensate for the losses. Thats where Trumps spending went
    Had to explain all the Biden spending. Since it was not compensation

    Let’s see how wealth these guys are after the trail.

    The criminal case in Georgia against former President Donald Trump will be different from his other cases in one significant way: It will be the first case in which Trump and his political groups won’t be paying for the lawyers for his co-defendants.

    Unlike the classified documents case in Florida, or a case against Trump’s company in Manhattan, where Trump controlled entities are paying the lawyers bills, Trump’s political action committee is in no position to fund the costly defenses of the 18 other people charged in the sprawling Georgia racketeering indictment.

    Trump’s PAC Save America burned through over $20 million in legal fees in the first half of this year alone, paying for lawyers to represent the former president and his co-defendants in three other cases. That left the PAC with just over $3 million on hand at the end of June.

    The fact that Trump is paying the lawyers’ bills for his co-defendants in the Florida case has raised questions about whether they are truly free to give testimony that would incriminate Trump, if it means losing their legal representation.

    It’s a record unlikely to be broken anytime soon.

    The latest indictment against Trump charges him with 13 criminal counts, including a violation of Georgia’s RICO Act, which carries a penalty of between five and 20 years in prison.

    These are on top of the 78 criminal counts Trump already faces in the three other active criminal cases, bringing his grand, grim total to 91 counts.

    When it comes to racking up criminal counts, Trump is a pioneer in his field: No other U.S. president has ever been charged with crimes, let alone more than seven dozen of them at once. And no former president has run for another term in office while fending off potentially hundreds of years of prison time.

    Its historic
    No other President has ever charged the opposition with so many charges
    Remember all prosecutions are by discretion. The AG in not compelled to bring any case to trial. Look at the peaceful protests of 2020.
    In the end the AG only accountability is to the voters. Its a very political job. They pick the cases they want, usually to help them get to a higher office

    Did he? You are so simple minded

    The relief package, unveiled Monday afternoon, sped through the House and Senate in a matter of hours. The Senate cleared the massive package by a 92-6 vote after the House approved the COVID-19 package by another lopsided vote, 359-53.

    Did Trump veto it or sign it?
