Locking up corrupt Presidents for financial crimes sets ‘a terrible precedent’, warns President with 34 felony convictions for financial crime
Donald Trump has condemned France’s decision to jail former President Nicolas Sarkozy, describing it as “radical Marxism of the worst kind, almost as bad as letting poor people have healthcare.”
The US President, himself freshly branded a convicted felon, insisted that imprisoning leaders for financial crimes was “totally un-American” and a “sad, rigged, disgusting witch hunt, probably run by Hillary, Obama, and a wind turbine.”
“This is the sort of woke socialist madness you’d expect from France,” Trump told reporters at a press conference where they had to sign a waiver confirming they would not ask questions about his 34 criminal convictions.
“Jailing a president for financial crime is terrible, folks. Just terrible. Unless it’s Biden, in which case, orange jumpsuit, solitary confinement, and no ice cream for life.” [...]

No one should get out of paying for what they did.
Also an adjudicated rapist.
Nation’s stray dogs call for increased wino-vomit production
Yes, that nasty 'terrible (for me) precedent' we should ALL be concerned about...
What a load of self-serving crap. Bu then again, he did get in trouble for self-serving from a charity, so more trash into the dumpster fire.
Guillotine it is
Dementia Don could actually say all of that and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.
He wouldn't be able to say "solitary confinement." He'd call it "the white room with no windows, and the jacket, with the arms tucked in, can't move 'em"
It would surprise me; it's a coherent sentence.
