18. "Eric and Don Jr are running the businesses and Trump has stepped back." Remember that one?

First term, emoluments clause, Trump "must divest himself of his businesses," so his goons issued a statement saying Don Jr and Eric are "running things," and what that means is that they may be jet-setting all over the world on the taxpayers' dime, but Trump didn't "step back" from ANYTHING.

And because John Roberts anointed Trump as being immune from any laws, Trump keeps testing it. Like his "Crypto Dinner" on his "PRIVATE TIME" with the presidential seal on stage behind him, and using Marine One to commute to and from the event.

The media doesn't care. The only time John Roberts cares is when Trump says something mean about the SCOTUS, then Roberts issues a sternly worded statement, and goes back to not caring.
