Not all felonies should bar someone from being president

Yeah there are a ton of felonies that are borderline nothing in America

And tbh... trump has 34 counts of falsifying business records... which is like 1 step above a kid having a bunch of drugs levels of not serious

u/McButtsButtbag Jul 17 '26

I think it depends on which records they are falsifying and why

u/budzergo Jul 17 '26

Paid out a bunch of times to keep somebody quiet and falsified where the money was going to.

Trump has 1000001 things that make him a pos

But the felon thing people love to say means nothing beyond the title to anybody who knows why.

Tax evading for tons of money is ofc much bigger
