everything about Trump demonstrates how fundamentally broken the US government really is. there is no check or balance that can stop him. he’s a convicted rapist and has faced no consequences, and that’s just for starters. he is simply above the law; he can do literally anything he wants and there is no system within the government that can touch him

I think it’s always been the case that the rich and powerful in this country are unaffected by the law, but Trump really shows how far that principle can go. laws and checks and balances were never there for people like Trump - they were either to make us average citizens feel like those in power would be held accountable for their actions, or they were created to control us while feeding us the illusion that they affected all citizens equally
