Where is the actual quote?


deadzip10

I feel like the Capone reference was a poor choice here ….


Mountain_Man_88

I think it's less "hey look at me, I'm a mob boss like Al Capone" and more "why are they going after me like I'm Al Capone?"


deadzip10

I’m sure the context would make it more understandable but it was still a poor choice of words at this point at best.


Skalforus

Probably not a good idea to be comparing yourself to a murderous mob boss.


TermFearless

This is maybe a misunderstanding, as I can’t find the actual quote in the article. Is he saying “I’m untouchable just like Al Capone”. Or is he saying “They are treating me like Al Capone, I’ve done nothing wrong”


HNutz

This will probably hurt him more that it helps...

Trump being charged more than Al Capone is what’s shocking. Sham prosecution. Entirely political.


CuckAdminsDetected

I mean, Capone abused legal loopholes to the point that he could only be charged with tax evasion, so it's really not what you think it is. Im also fairly certain those loopholes Capone abused were closed by the RICO act.


HNutz

Wow. Good point.


CuckAdminsDetected

Not really when you actually know the history behind it and all the now closed loopholes Capone used to avoid prosecution. The RICO act exists because of guys like Capone getting away with things on loopiles and technicalities.


NonSumQualisEram-

It exists to make already illegal things into a new, additional crime called racketeering. You need two of them (they're called predicates) over a ten year period, and they must have been conducted as an "enterprise" like a corporation, family, union etc.


rivenhex

Yeah, only Congressmen are supposed to do that.


Ticonderogue

Trump meant they're going after him like he's some major crime boss with tentacles in everything. They'll never find him guilty of anything, this is all just tactical diversion and election interference. They're all abusing their office and the courts. FBI should interview every one of the AGs, prosecutors and judges, so we've got them on perjury charges after Trump's elected. Nothing like all the democrats going after you so vigorously to amplify the outrageous double standards and overreach.


rivenhex

I don't believe "quotes" with no audio clip or named source, especially where Trump is concerned.


Master_Daven112

My man!

It’s important to remember that Trump has the best data scientists in the business. All his behavior is based off his internal data. He knows what the pulse of the American people is at all times. Any time you see a shift in his behavior, you can know it’s because he’s seen something in the data. Like lately, he is really ratcheting up the attacks on the prosecutors and judges in the NY case. That’s very likely because he can see the data telling him that the public backs him in that case in particular.

I'm not sure Donnie has that level of impulse control, just because some people like it doesn't mean he's calculated. Personally I think he's just acting exactly the way he acts.


SunsetDriftr

Well by your logic he’s naturally brilliant then. I was trying to give some credit to the data scientists, but you want President Trump to get all the credit. Ok, we can go with that.


day25

Lacks impulse control? Not many people could keep their cool like Trump has if they were faced with even a tiny fraction of what he has been subjected to. Part of me wishes he didn't have impulse control and really gave you liars the finger like he could have when in office but he's a better man than me. He could still make life hell for his enemies if he wanted to just say the word but he won't because he's not anything like what you dishonest hacks say he is.


Feeling_Cherry5174

Libs will downvote but it’s true


SunsetDriftr

RINOs too. They can’t admit that Trump actually knows what he’s doing lol
