Just so we're clear: When the Republicans begin their defense of Trump

based on the assumption that he did not commit a crime because he did not realize it was a crime, they are defending him based on the Affluenza defense. Or, as we all know it, White Republican privilege.

The judge in the civil trial all but told Trump that by his paying the penalty was an admission of guilt.

Trump used his scam charity to:

* help run a phony help the vets fund raiser and kept the money for himself

* bribe Pam Bondi, A.G. Florida, $25,000 so she would go after his scam charity

* pay $20,000 for a painting of Trump to hang in his golf course.
