After decades of grifting, gaslighting, swindling, fraud and swaths of other criminal activities – long before all the ‘alleged’ crimes committed after becoming a minority-elect president* – Teflon Don’s armor is beginning to shatter

It only took over two years since he left office for our minority-elect, twice-impeached one term former president* Donald J. Trump to be held accountable for a small fraction of his ‘alleged’ crimes, but it finally happened. While there are a multitude of other potential indictments coming, Trump is currently facing 34 potential felony charges, and he’s not handling it well.
Some outlets are dubiously referring to Trump’s being charged as a former president* as ‘unchartered waters,’ but is it? Too many media outlets spent the 4 years of Trump’s untenable presidency normalizing the lies and crimes perpetrated by Trump and his equally corrupt GOP Congress critters instead of telling it like it is and holding them accountable for their actions. But the real question with Trump isn’t how he got indicted, it’s why didn’t this happen long ago?
Multiple claims of his being held responsible for his actions being ‘uncharted waters’ imply this is something new, despite the fact that in reality, Trump should have been held accountable long before his ‘unchartered waters’ ship sailed. For example, it was ‘uncharted waters’ when Trump and his terrorists plotted to illegally overthrow the election after losing it bigly. Lying about actively soliciting help from Russia to win the presidency, terrorizing immigrants while separating families and putting their children in cages was ‘unchartered waters.’
Terrorizing journalists and encouraging the moronic miscreants that comprise his cult to beat them up, banning Muslims from entering the country, extorting the leader of a foreign country to find non-existent corruption on his opponent, constantly grifting at U.S. taxpayer expense, lying about a pandemic – and virtually everything in general – which cost more than a million lives is ‘unchartered waters.’ Embracing white supremacy and encouraging his terrorists to defend him while denying he did anything illegal is ‘unchartered waters.’
