tRump’s career has been marked by numerous controversies spanning his business, personal, and political life. These controversies encompass a wide array of issues, from his business practices and legal affairs to his personal conduct and actions during and after his presidency. Here are just a few of “things happen” excluding so many such as the six bankruptcies which consisted of bankrupting casinos!?! - “Things Happen” - Someday accountability will be the result…
* Numerous Lawsuits - thousands of state and federal legal cases over the decades, more than many of his real estate magnate peers combined.
* Trump University Litigation - A lawsuit accused Trump of defrauding more than 5,000 people through his real estate seminar program. Trump agreed to a $25 million settlement in 2016 without admitting guilt
* Trump Organization Conviction - In 2022, the Trump Organization was convicted on 17 criminal counts of tax fraud and falsifying business records related to an off-the-books compensation scheme for executives
* Civil Fraud Judgment - found liable for fraud regarding the overvaluation of his assets for financial benefits and was ordered to pay substantial fines and interest
* Tax Returns - refusal to release his tax returns during his campaigns was a major point of contention, breaking with decades of precedent for presidential candidates.
Sexual Misconduct Allegations -
* Multiple Accusations: At least 28 women have publicly accused Donald Trump of various acts of sexual misconduct, including non-consensual kissing, groping, and rape. Trump has consistently denied all allegations, often suggesting the accusers were lying or not attractive enough to merit his attention.
* E. Jean Carroll Lawsuits: A federal jury found Trump civilly liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. He was ordered to pay a total of $88.3 million in damages across two defamation trials, which he is currently appealing
* Access Hollywood" Tape: A 2005 recording surfaced during the 2016 campaign in which Trump bragged about being able to "grab 'em by the pussy" because he was a "star," leading to widespread outrage and an apology for the remarks
Presidency and Political Matters -
* Impeachments: Trump was impeached twice by the House of Representatives: once in 2019 over his dealings with Ukraine (the Trump–Ukraine scandal) and again in 2021 for his role in the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
* Efforts to Overturn the 2020 Election: Extensive efforts by Trump and his allies to challenge and overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, including the "fake electors plot" and the Trump–Raffensperger phone call, have been highly controversial and led to criminal charges.
* Criminal Prosecutions: Following his presidency, Trump faced federal and state criminal charges, including a conviction in New York related to hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Other federal cases related to election obstruction and the handling of classified documents were either abandoned or dismissed following his second election to the presidency.
* Conflicts of Interest and Emoluments Clause: Trump faced intense scrutiny for maintaining ownership of his businesses while in office, raising concerns about potential violations of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause, which prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts or payments from foreign governments without congressional approval.
* False and Misleading Statements: Throughout his campaigns and presidency, Trump has been noted for making numerous false or misleading statements and promoting conspiracy theories, such as the "birther" theory about Barack Obama's birthplace. Covid-19 outbreak, underplaying the virus and spreading “conspiracy theories” that may have resulted in millions of American lives.
* Immigration Policies: Controversies surrounded his administration's immigration policies, including the travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries and the family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border.
All this wrong doing plus a psycho heading a cult off an economic cliff. I support liberal independent media reporters that are brave truth tellers and fight to expose felon 47, family enablers and GOPig regime. High stakes GRIFT of tax payers. The golden Oval Office while Americans struggle is not acceptable. Hello, the opposite of paying your fair share old white fake liar. We the People see you!
Thank you for your substack. I really appreciate reading the American and world news perspectives that you have focused on. Demcracy has to have informed voters, and you are helping greatly.
Brilliant writing!
