      Right? This law is rarely prosecuted, probably unconstitutional, and certain people still think that he’s getting a sweetheart deal because of his name.

      But the Constitution is only there for Trump supporters, right?

      One another note, as a Canadian watching this soap opera, it’s getting boring already. I mean the level of backstabbing, whinging and general vindictiveness is like watching As the World Turns (21st century version).

          Me thinks you’re just repeating bullshit you heard online, me thinks.

          I’ve filled enough of the damn things out, no idea why I had 11e stuck in my head. It’s question 21f.
