Trump's lawyers are still arguing that he can't be tried since as President he's above it all! It should take an impeachment, then a trial in Congress in their opinions! Half the country's gone nuts!

Coming from a phony, would-be "native American", that is absurd.
Your gruel is almost here, not to worry.

Bullshit!
Try reading more history from a wider perspective, dufus!
Meanwhile, you fail to prove you Libturds have created real wealth and/or had such to give to others less fortunate.
History shows that the Left/pseudo-Liberals are more greedy than the conservative Right.
You want "simpleton", look in the mirror ~ DUFUS!
Interesting point of view. The banking bailout of 2008 would seem to disprove your assertion. But let’s look at other examples.
The bailout of Chrysler. In the 1980’s the Government essentially owned Chrysler. Most of the cars purchased by the Government were the awful K Cars that were pushed out to give Chrysler something to build.
The Military even bought a ton of Dodge Pick Up trucks to use.
While the bailout did save the jobs of the Union folks, it really saved stockholders a ton of money since their stock would be worthless if the company went belly up.
The Savings and Loan bailouts of the same decade. We heard how deregulation was great. It would let everyone make more money. Then the Feds had to come in and bailout the S and L companies. There was a big push to punish the people responsible, until Reagan’s son was caught up and that died out.
Trump pushed for deregulation on the smaller banks. He said that would let them make more money. He got it. And how many banks failed?
Republicans claim to love the free market. Right up until the free market means they’ll lose their wealth. Then it is bailout bonanza.
Let’s talk about the grand switch of the mortgage bailout. Congress gave the Treasury authority to buy all the toxic debt. The idea was that Paulson would buy all those shit mortgages and then basically write it off. Instead he gave the money in grants and loans to the banks. To cover the losses of those toxic mortgages.
So what wider perspective do we need to pretend these were all Liberals fault?
Teabaggers are as good at gaslighting as their dear leader is.Hinted at such as a candidate, DID such once POTUS.
Obama as an "aid and abet" enemies of the USA, hence a traitor, Fifth Columnist, "Manchurian Candidate, etc.
He is not alone. Most of those on the Left side of the USA political spectrum are also anti-USA and friends/agents of the enemies of the USA.

Famous small booklet by F. Bastiat (d. 1850) on perversion of rule of law:
https://fee.org/media/14951/thelaw.pdf
Preface
When a reviewer wishes to give special recognition to a book, he predicts that it will still be read "a hundred years from now." The Law, first published as a pamphlet in June, 1850, is already more than a hundred years old. And because its truths are eternal, it will still be read when another century has passed.
Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before - and immediately following -- the Revolution of February 1848. This was the period when France was rapidly turning to complete socialism. As a Deputy to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Bastiat was studying and explaining each socialist fallacy as it appeared. And he explained how socialism must inevitably degenerate into communism. But most of his countrymen chose to ignore his logic.
The Law is here presented again because the same situation exists in America today as in the France of 1848. The same socialist-communist ideas and plans that were then adopted in France are now sweeping America. The explanations and arguments then advanced against socialism by Mr. Bastiat are -- word for word -- equally valid today. His ideas deserve a serious hearing.

Bastiat begins:
Life Is a Gift from God
We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life—physical, intellectual, and moral life.
But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course.
Life, faculties, production—in other words, individuality, liberty, property—this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.

Skull did not give background on Mr. Bastian and his work. It is based on Natural Rights, self protection, and a warming against regulation.
Claude-Frédéric Bastiat (1801–1850) was a French economist, writer, and a prominent member of the French Liberal School. Born on June 30, 1801, in Bayonne, France, Bastiat dedicated his life to advocating for private property, free markets, and limited government. His influential ideas continue to resonate with economists and policymakers.
Here are some key points about Frédéric Bastiat:

His influential ideas continue to resonate with economists and policymakers.
Here are some key points about Frédéric Bastiat:
- Economic Concepts:
- Opportunity Cost: Bastiat developed the concept of opportunity cost, emphasizing that every choice involves a trade-off. When we choose one option, we forgo the benefits of other alternatives.
- Parable of the Broken Window: In this famous parable, Bastiat illustrated the fallacy of destruction as a form of economic stimulus. Breaking a window may create work for the glazier, but it ignores the unseen opportunity cost—the lost potential if the window hadn’t been broken.
- Political Career:
- Bastiat served as a member of the French National Assembly from 1848 until his death in 1850.
- His advocacy for free trade and limited government made him a respected figure among fellow legislators.
- Notable Works:
- “The Law”: In this essay, Bastiat eloquently argued for the natural right to self-defense and the protection of individual liberties.
- “Sophisms of Protection”: A collection of essays that debunked protectionist arguments and highlighted the benefits of free trade.
- Legacy:
- Bastiat’s work influenced subsequent economists and thinkers, including Adam Smith.
- His cleverly crafted “Candlemakers’ Petition” exposed flaws in protectionism and remains relevant in discussions about free trade.

Nothing that was economically valid prior to the Industrial Revolution, the union movement, and the advent of tax and labour law, is in ANY way economically valid in the USA in the 21st Century.
How could Bastiat warn of the dangers of "socialism" and "commumism" since neither ideology existed at the time???? Karl Marx published his first book in 1848, and all of Bastiat's writings pertained to FRANCE - the onlyother democratic nation on the planet in 1848, so how could democracy "always descend into socialism and marxism" since it neither existed at that time and it had never happened before?

Trump and his 3,500 suits:
I do not know if that is a record but it is quite a lotThat is what he brings to the table
He thinks he can do anything and has money to buy his way out of any legal jam
Thus he has no filter of right and wrong. It is just about winning.. Which is his kryptonite
as he hates to lose
As president he now has his supporters that will defend him and believes that they will fight for him
As the president he is losing cases because it is no longer about the money. Its about what his supporters will believe
He has the money to appeal and if he loses the appeal then the moaning will begin.
If the supreme court make up was different and he lost then people would say that it was partisan
yet if he wins then they claim justice has been served
The kicker is that most lawsuits cases are tax deductible depending on meeting certain requirements
there are exception in criminal cases
Yet the reason why he faces these cases is his lack of decision making skills
One of his earlier cases was his business practice to not rent to minorities
Now he needs their votes
