[font size=5]Dick Nixon Weighs In On the Trial of Don Trump[/font]

“For the president to stand in the dock like a common thief would be a grave moral and legal wound.” -- Richard M. NIXON


.... Now we hear that Trump will likely stand trial in Manhattan Supreme Court this fall, related to allegations that his “Trump University” was a fraud on the level of snake oil, Bile Beans, or Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powder for Drunkenness. ....

So the presumptive Republican presidential nominee—yes, I said it—may face a jury trial for fraud in Manhattan, where he’s hated, in the middle of general election season.

Trump’s people will say it’s the government trying to quash the revolution, and the press will play it up as a sideshow. “Unprecedented.” “Surreal.” “The ultimate spectacle in a year full of them.” My God, I could write the story in my sleep.

Much is made of Trump as a bigot, woman hater, huckster, or television personality. But he’s also a gangster. Not Al Capone or Bugsy Siegel; they understood that alliances shape the world, and how to use them for survival. No, for all his talk about deal making, Trump is the thug who breaks the bartender’s nose if he can’t pay protection money.

As he said at the Nixon Center on Wednesday—for all they rub my nose in it, I’ll be damned if I call it the “Center for the National Interest”—Trump’s foreign policy starts with extorting our allies. If Germany or Japan won’t pony up for American troops, for example, Trump will tear up our defense commitments in the name of saving money. This will lead to new nuclear states and world realignment away from us. ....

It’s an abomination for a candidate to be hauled into the stocks. For China and Russia, though, it’s an opportunity. Trump’s presidency will let them muscle America into the cellar and starve us to death. ....

But Trump wanted a jury trial. As always, the chance of a cheap public win means everything to him—screw the eventual consequences. ....
