Trump may be destroying faith in the American legal system with his constant attacks, but what’s been even harder on my faith is the way the various justice departments have handled him and his cases. Edit: Trump doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) get to decide how or when courts prosecute crimes yet it’s rarely been clearer that there’s two tiers of treatment. I think the officials involved should be considered accountable.
The wealthy and influential are permitted to avoid consequences in ways a normal citizen never could. In the USA in 2024, we have proof that you can avoid jail time, attack officials online, reduce your punishment and delay to your heart’s content as long as you are in some way powerful. Even after confessing to crimes multiple times and being specifically told to stop.
