I will defend anyone that the government is attacking unfairly, or that the media is lying about.
Do enlighten us on how the government is attacking him unfairly, and the lies the media has told about him.
I definitely do not like Trump, and this comment is by no means me defending him. He has committed crimes and should be prosecuted. However, certain actions by Dems does suggest he was targeted.
One example is his tax returns. It is a tradition for presidents to voluntarily release them. He chose not to. Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.
I also think that prosecutors in New York would have ignored his fraudulent business practices, which they likely ignored for several years prior, if he hadn't become president and was seeking re-election.
Again, I am not defending him. Lock him up for his crimes. But I also don't think the democrats motivation is solely coming from the idea of "justice for all."
Yes, they did, and he kept refusing to do so, as was his right even if it made him look sus as fuck, especially since his excuse was the lie about being under audit. Only once he was under investigation for fucking fraud were his tax returns actually released, as evidence in the investigations.
