A Corrupt Justice System Failed to Stop Trump 50 Years Ago

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The facts about Trump’s past are very sketchy. In 2018, he had his academic records sealed and nothing about his younger years is public knowledge with the exception of a few situations. Included is  the fact that his father paid for his deferrments, preventing his son from serving in the war in Vietnam. However, his constituents within New York’s world of big business offered volumes in just a few words. Some of the words used were “idiot,” “crooked,” “unscrupulous,” “lecherous,” and “immoral.”

It was no secret that Trump was willing to lie, cheat on his taxes, refused to pay contractors, and bribed public officials frequently.

If all that is true, the question becomes, “why was the orange buffoon never prosecuted for a single crime until 2024?”

The truth is clear to any American citizen who chooses to be informed.

Trump has become America’s first dictator. He did not accomplish his personal ambition alone. He was given “absolute immunity” and placed above the law by six corrupt and extremely biased Supreme Court Justices.

The truth is, Trump’s entire life of crime has been ignored: he has always received protection, and placed “above the law.” It is an undeniable fact that a dual system of justice exists in America: one for the average citizen, and one for the rich, famous, and powerful.

Let’s play a little game, called “what if?”

First, a fact no one can deny: there is no “justice in America.” Over the last 45 years, the United States of America has become a nation without laws. Only the poor and low-income are punished for their crimes, while the rich and powerful escape with a ‘slap on the wrist’ for the same or similar crimes.

If there was justice in America Trump would never have survived six bankruptcies, and dozens of allegations of sexual assault. In 2015, Trump would have been a “nobody,” a “once was.” He would never have been recruited by Vladimir Putin, and never have been nominated by today’s Fake Republican Party in 2016.

Without Trump, America would not be facing the end of democracy and the establishment of a fascist regime with Trump as “Fuhrer.”

However, because there is no “justice” system in America, because members of law enforcement and the legal profession refused to make Trump accountable for his many crimes, and because of a corrupt and fascist-leaning SCOTUS, the United States of America, as I will remember it, will soon cease to exist.

Don’t forget my other “what ifs.”

What if FDR had lived until the end of WWII? Would he have used nuclear weapons to hurry the end of this horrific military conflict?

What if the Supreme Court had not illegally interfered in the 2000 election?

What if the leaders of our government had allowed voters to know the truth about Vladimir Putin’s efforts to elect Trump in 2016?

What happened to the bullet after the alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania in 2024.

And what if the voting machines in all seven swing states in 2024 had been examined for their accuracy and the possibility that they had been hacked?

We’ll never know, and we will all suffer from lies of omission and the failure of our government and law enforcement to “do the right thing.”
