    You do realize that when Trump says “anything illegal” he really means “anything I don’t like”, right?

    Also, surely you think that Trump should be sentenced appropriately for violating federal law at Arlington cemetery?

      The logical line of “when the guy I don’t like says anything, he really means what I say he means” is pretty errant and toxic. I cringe when the right does it too, “you can tell a Democrat is lying because they’ve opened their mouth”. It’s stupid and ridiculous.

      IDK what happened for sure at the cemetery, I’d need some footage and to read up on the pertaining law a little before I make a judgement on that.

        I don’t know if you’ve kept your head buried in the sand for 8 years, but all we’ve seen is Trump proving that he believes any perceived wrongdoing to himself is a crime. It’s a CEO philosophy of fire anyone that disagrees.

          The US Army releasing a statement that a) what Trump and his campaign did there was illegal and b) that they physically attacked the person who tried to stop them from breaking the law isn’t good enough for you?

          Why would it be? Does the government tell the truth all the time?

        Trump has proven that’s what he means at literally every possible opportunity for nearly a decade. You cannot possibly not have come to that realization without purposefully ignoring it because you like him, claiming it’s some weird partisan issue is certifiably weird.

        He took a campaign photo in section 60 at the cemetery, that is a violation of federal law. You don’t need a video, you’re just giving him a pass because you don’t care what he does or who it hurts.
