Donald Trump, Felon: Re-Visiting Trump University

Alan: If you or I -- or anyone we know -- had perpetrated a scam to steal $40,000,000.00 from thousands of hard-working Americans, we would not just go to prison.

We would die there.

No matter how Devious Donald's lawyers manipulate the legal system -- paying huge sums to "settle out of court" -- Trump is a felon. 

A thief.  

A classless rip-off artist. 

He should be behind bars - which is where you and I would be.

And if you don't think so, you should be ashamed of yourself and your turncoat treachery.

Compendium Of Pax Posts About Trump University

For the Trump Corporation -- and other large enterprises -- monetary fines are just "another cost of doing business." 

"Rightness," "wrongness" and even "deadly criminality" (as evidenced by the Sackler Family's fatal promotion of the opioid epidemic) are non-issues when it comes to rapacious corporate activity. 

Make no mistake.

Fat cats make business decisions - full-fledged, in-your-face, felonious decisions - simply to make money. 

And they do so with no concern for the carnage, havoc, mayhem and deadly fallout of perpetual warfare waged on "designated enemies.

"Do Wars Really Defend America's Freedom?"

In the Trump University theft, middle-class Americans were ripped off to the tune of $120,000,000.00 of worthless tuition. (One Trump University official said that -- to his knowledge -- no student ever made money by following the real estate methods taught at Trump University.)

For capitalist scofflaws like Trump, "out of court settlement" is the preferred method for "getting away" with their routine feloniousness - and arguably the quickest way for large corporations to "turn" sizeable profits even after paying legal costs and fines. 

Drug Companies Pay Billions In Fines Which Amount To "Petty Cash"

But even if "you" belong to The Club and cannot arrange "out of court settlement," your "clubbish" corporation will still have enough resource to pay lawyers, court-mandated fines and still make out like bandits.

Literally.

Bandits. 

Thieves. 

Common criminals.

If you do not understand the self-evident truth of Capitalism's everyday banditry, you have "sold your birthright for a mess of pottage."
