I should note that it is obvious that much of what Trump does ends up having to do with money, and restrictions on his make even more money. Look to money and you can see why Trump behaves as he does.

The other reason Trump does certain things is just pure racism. He learned that from this father, Fred, who was arrested in New York for taking part in a KKK event and getting into a brawl with police officers. Daddy Fred learned how to hide his blatant racism after than. He taught Donnie the same.

Trump, despicable as he is, is not responsible for his father's racism. Nor is his father the subject of this thread.

You are entirely clueless about sons and their fathers. Especially sons like Trump who strive to emulate, and outdo, their fathers.

You are obviously childless.

You also entirely missed--intentionally--that the comment was about Trump the Son. In your world Trump the Father's racism is entirely divorced from Trump the Son's racism. The two learned their racism entirely on their own. Sure thing.

So, what? The real question is what are they going to do about it?

???? Think. Trump uses other people's money to pay for things. His losing major GOP donors means he has to look elsewhere to make ends meet. Elsewhere is special side deals with foreigners--like Putin. This is a replay of how Trump got entangled with Russian mob money in the first place. American Bank would not lend him money, so he went to foreign sources. Now American GOP donors won't give him money, so . . . figure it out.

My point is that many Republicans have talked about what a slimebag Trump is from the very beginning. They simply haven't acted. Words are cheap. Let's see some action.

How is stopping donating money "words" and not an "action". Do you want to wait until you see that the check is NOT put in the mail? Is that the type of action you demand? Okay.

Where’s the Russian collusion?

The Trump Tower meeting. I would not doubt that Cohen has something to back that up. Others as well. The attempt to conspire with Russia all hinges on the Trump Tower meeting and what Trump knew or knows about it. Don’t forget about those who already took deals and pled guilty.

This will continue to play out and Trump will be subpoenaed. It’s going to be another year before this all plays out because I believe Trumps lawyers will fight a subpoena. History is a great predictor of the future.

Cohen's very capable lawyer Lanny Davis has walked back info that Cohen knows of Trump's prior knowledge there. BUT, conspiring doesn't end there. Cohen has said Trump knew in advance of the e-mail releases, and there are probably other things too. He will be charged with Conspiracy to Default the United States.

Chuck Schumer has warned Trump not to pardon Cohen or Manafort. Not sure what Schumer plans to do if he does, but the warning is there.

Yes, let’s see some real evidence they are abandoning Trump. They can start with the midterm elections by not donating to any campaign that supports Trump.

I don't think the poster was stating nor even implying that Trump is " responsible for his father's racism." Did he? What he was saying was: Trump's racism is less surprising considering his upbringing and who his boss and then business partner was (raised by racist Daddy, groomed by racist Daddy, helped into the family business by racist Daddy, and sued along with racist Daddy by Justice Dep't for purposely not renting to blacks-

).

Maybe Trump's Daddy is partly responsible for Trump's racism? Whoever one blames, he's definitely a racist.

That is what they said they are doing. You missed that in the first post.

Mistrial declared on more than half of the charges.

Yeah, this doesn't actually mean a whole lot. Sometimes juries just get fed up and throw in the towel--and if they've agreed on at least some verdicts, the judge will call it good.

I was foreman of a jury where that happened. We probably could have come to verdicts on the other charges, but it would have taken the better part of a week (at least), and after a couple days one juror just refused to participate further. The judge accepted the verdicts we had made, and let us go on the rest. Some of our verdicts were "guilty"--I've sometimes wondered whether she would have let us go if we'd only returned our one "not guilty" verdict.

And the racism is out in the open now. Trump cannot hide like he used to--despite the suit; mostly his father's doing.

It is not surprising that Trump has difficulty hiding controlling his racism. He is over 70 years old and he, like many older people, start exposing secrets that would be better left unknown. Trump just cannot control himself.

No, s/he can only pardon for federal offenses.

This is why the NY State courts are such a threat to Trump's crowd (and ultimately Trump himself).
