Comment on Trump Calls For Return To ‘Law And Order’ At Wake For Slain NY Police Officer
ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 3 months agoSince you like wordplay, Trump said law and order yet he broke the law and was convicted of it. Civil laws are still laws.

You’re not convicted of civil actions. He is liable. It’s not a criminal offense. Have you ever had a parking ticket or a speeding ticket? Does that make you a criminal ? The answer is no. Those are both civil infractions. It isn’t word play. You’re just using the words incorrectly.

Right. We should use words correctly. Trump is a fraudster who obtained millions of dollars through false statements and false documents but not a criminal since the fraud he committed wasn’t criminal fraud. Much better. Just like a parking ticket even.

I’m fine with fraudster. That’s an opinion.
