Trump’s Indictment Marks a Historic Reckoning
A Manhattan grand jury has issued the first-ever indictment of a former US president. Buckle up for whatever happens next.
THE LITERALLY UNPRECEDENTED indictment against Donald Trump marks an outright dangerous—and politically fraught—moment for the United States and serves as a reminder of the unparalleled level of criminality and conspiracy that surrounded the 2016 election.
It’s easy to look back at the 2016 election as though its outcome was inevitable—that Hillary Clinton was too weak of a candidate, one whose years of high-priced speeches had made her lose touch with the working-class voters of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; that “but her emails” and Jim Comey’s repeated, inappropriate, and misguided meddling in the election turned the tide. But the new indictment of Trump is an important historical corrective, a moment that makes clear how the US, as a country, must reckon with the fact that Trump’s surprise victory was aided by not one but two separate criminal conspiracies
…..Hillary was a weak candidate, and yet, there are some Democrats that can’t cope with the thought that the American People didn’t want her.
….surprise victory….pppfftt
