Didn't he start a loud, public trade war with China?

What does indictment mean for Trump? Can he still run for president in 2024?

The upcoming presidential election is already shaping up to be a wild one.

Yeah I found out about that earlier this morning too.

I think if he had gotten impeached it would have prevented it but yeah this doesn't put a dent into what he's doing. It actually will most likely fuel his base and give him more donations.

Always remember that Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl with Jeffery Epstein and the court case was dropped after she reported being too scared to continue do to threatening phone calls.

Strictly speaking, he was impeached - twice. It's just that the Senate didn't have the votes to take any furthur action, so that "impeached" just became a label rather than a punishment. To me, that highlights the real danger of Trump: that his base, and the Republican party, accept his every crime and still support him.

As far as I can see, they have accepted this:-

...plus his role in all the schemes to overthrow a legit election, plus hiding documents and obstructing justice down at Mar-a-Lago.

Every time, the GOP back Trump, over the Constitution, the system of justice, the cops defending the Capitol, the results of an election that has been upheld in 60 independent court cases, facts, truth, etc,etc. while other Trump supporters are well represented by this post from norg:-

I'm afraid I have several probs with your post, norg:-

First, you seem to have swallowed whole the notion of Trump as victim: why else call for him to be freed when he hasn't been arrested?
Second, approving of his politics doesn't excuse his criminal conduct imo.
Thirdly, the US democrats aren't far-left or commies.
Finally, I think who is roasting who probably depends on your media sources. After Trump's recent Hannity interviews, he's coming in for an awful lot of roasting on the channels I usually watch.

Well, seeing as how Biden has his own sexual misconduct allegations (assuming they're true, and even hypothetically if they were worse than Trump's) I've had to ask myself is the point of politics whether you're supporting someone for being a better person or because of power. Trump supporters by and large are probably writing off all Trump's scandals and crimes as fake news so they don't have to deal with the question but the reason they're doing so is to attain political power.

Now, Trump is a grifter and his supporters are being lied to about what they'll get from him, but if Biden were theoretically actually a worse person would I then support Trump even though his being in power would be more detrimental to my political goals than Biden being in power? Kinda no.

This whole respectability politics nature of politics masks the fact that real politics is about naked power and regardless of Trump being a piece of **** rapist I don't want him to have power for even bigger reasons, and Trump supporters are deluding themselves for what feel to them like bigger reasons.

MAGA conservatives don't actually stand for anything. They're just reactionaries that use horrible allegations to justify their hatred so it's fun to use facts and throw it back into their face to watch them squirm and cope.

Like that there are 74 different Democrats involved in sexual abuse scandals compared to 800 Republicans.

Of course they never budge, they just invent reasons to deny facts as a coping mechanism. Just look at Norg, he actually believes the Democratic party is communist, he has no idea what he's talking about. Their brains have become so rotted by propaganda and fear mongering that they have lost touch with reality. There is nothing you can do to pull them out when they go that far down Tucker Carlson's *******.

I don't support the main Democratic party but if I were to find out that Bernie was using his power or had used his power to abuse people the way Trump had I would not support him. Him calling people Russian assets for questioning our motives in Ukraine already bothers me.
