Trump’s legal theory, in one paragraph
Opinion | Trump’s legal theory, in one paragraph
I didn’t collude with Russia or obstruct justice. If I did, it wasn’t bad. If it was bad, it wasn’t illegal. If it was illegal, it’s not illegal for me. If it’s illegal for me, I can’t be charged. If I can be charged, I can’t be convicted. I f I can be convicted, I can pardon myself. If I can’t pardon myself, I can ignore it. If I can’t ignore it, I can insult it. If I can’t insult it, I can grope it because I’m a star. If I can’t grope it because I’m a star, I can grope it anyway. If I can’t grope it anyway, I can hold a rally of supporters.
If I don’t have supporters left, I can hold a rally of rich friends. If I don’t have any more rich friends, I can hold a rally of my business partners. If I don’t have any more business partners, I can have a rally of my legal team. If my legal team has all quit, I can rally my family. If Melania doesn’t show up, I can rally the rest of my family. If the rest of my family is in jail, I can go on TV.
If I can’t go on TV, I can tweet. If I can’t tweet, I can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue. If I can’t shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue, I can sell steaks on Fifth Avenue. If I can’t sell steaks on Fifth Avenue, I can eat steaks. If I can’t eat steaks, I can eat cake. If I can’t eat cake, let THEM eat cake. If they can’t eat cake, they can golf at one of my golf courses. If they can’t golf, they can stay in one of my hotels.
If they can’t stay in one of my hotels, the Russians can stay there. If the Russians can’t stay there, they can buy it. If they already own it, they can find Hillary Clinton’s emails. If they can’t find Hillary Clinton’s emails, they can give me dirt on her. If they can’t give me dirt on her, they can spread fake facts for my campaign. If they did that, it wasn’t collusion. If it was collusion, I didn’t know about it. If I did know about it, I didn’t obstruct justice. If I did obstruct justice, that’s how I made America great again.
