The Constitution and U.S. law have clear answers for only some of the questions raised by the criminal conviction of a major presidential candidate.

    He can run but he can’t hold the presidency. Not because of the hush money thing, because of the treason and breaking his oath of office thing. But the constitution doesn’t matter anymore and the SCOTUS has been corrupted, so why even bother with the question? 🤷‍♀️

    As much as I wish Trump would trip and fall face first into a wood chipper, it’s good that there is nothing stopping a felon from being president. It would be far too easy for an unscrupulous president to trump up (lol) a fake felony charge to block their competitors from office.
