The joke here is not Trump

The joke is the American legal system where if you have enough money, time and a lack of morals, you can milk the system for years and decades.

I'm not expecting anything new from these headlines anymore, Trump isn't the problem .... the American legal, political and wealthy corporate class that enable him are the problem.

100%. Trump is result of the corporate American system. Enabled by economic growth by any and all costs. Now that debit is being collected

This one might actually hurt him because the core of it is about how he lied to banks.

Trump isn't the problem .... the American legal, political and wealthy corporate class that enable him are the problem.

I agree, Trump is just a symptom of a deeper rot, but this symptom could kill the patient before we can cure the disease
