On the floor, it appears unbelievable {that a} man charged with 91 felonies is operating for president as a regulation and order candidate. It might have been unimaginable even 20 years in the past {that a} celebration that thought of itself the celebration of regulation and order would nominate as its presidential candidate a candidate who had 91 felony convictions.
Greater than a lie, what Donald Trump is doing is making a fictional story a couple of candidate and a rustic that doesn't exist. Donald Trump as a law-and-order candidate is nearly as fantastical as the concept America is a crime-ridden nation.
One of many greatest eccentric crime issues in America is the previous president who reportedly can't cease committing crimes.
