Anecdotal at best but when I had a memorial day celebration at my community pool and invited just one other couple (they are interracial, gasps, but since I'm a republican I should hate that) soon everyone was part of my ribs feast.. every black person there supported Trump over who they called an old racist [BLEEP] lol

For the love of everything decent, consider the level of conspiracy It took to orchestrate this conviction and extrapolate the possibilities. This is not We The People. This is an establishment that is doing everything in its power to keep hold of its power. We are seeing unprecedented abuse.

There is no conspiracy.  This is a New York legal system that even prior to 1776 was built on patronage.  That system is exacting its revenge on a man who infuriated its big city liberal voters and who refused to contribute to the campaigns of its politicians.

Now, should voter outrage be sufficient to bring criminal complaints? No. Should a celebrity be expected to contribute his way out of legal problems? No.  Both are corrupt.

However 

Trump is not actually fighting this corruption! He has proposed literally nothing to root it out. Even now.  Nothing.  US Congress has the power to "ensure a Republican form of government" in every state, and they could pass all sorts of laws to root out corruption in places like NY.  But that has never been discussed. Why not? Trump is only mad because he is the target.  He doesn't see this as a problem for anyone but him.  He doesn't care about you or anyone else.

Do you think anyone in politics cares about anyone other than themselves?

There's a reason they get rich only when they get into politics.
