I don't think convicted felons should be eligible to run for US president


Sorry but we need a standard of ethics and integrity for our president of the USA.


Donald Trump doesn't qualify under those circumstances.

Hasn't every president with the exception of Trump admitted to doing illegal drugs? Isn't that a crime?

That's funny, I don't think diseased old men and their party of crooks should be able to fabricate a case against another candidate and force it through to make him a 'felon'

What a weird thing to say without any evidence of any kind.

Rather a political felon than a paedophile.

And it's not like these recent felony convictions are all of it.
He has been found liable for fraud in running his scam of a University.
He has been barred from running charity because his Trump foundation was a scam.
He has been found liable for hundreds of millions in fines for business fraud.
He has been found liable for sexual assault.
He has been found liable for defamation.
He is indicted on many more serious charges.
He was found guilty of racial discrimination in the 70s.
He likely committed tax fraud in NYC by cooking books at the Commodore Hotel - charges were settled because he just wore down the city with countless counter law suits and claimed his records for the hotel got "lost"
He likely committed hundreds of millions of dollars in tax fraud in NY, which the AG decided he didn't have the resources to pursue.

And lets not forget how he allowed incompetent members of his family, including Jared Kushner of running parts of his foreign policy in the middle east which he parlayed into a $2 billion investment from the Saudis. He also got his father-in-law to enact an economic blockade of Qatar after they refused to bail out his bad business deal in NY. https://www.justsecurity.org/69094/timeline-on-jared-kushner-qatar-666-fifth-avenue-and-white-house-policy/

Everything the guy does is dirty. He's only out for himself. He only wants to be president to keep himself out of jail.

My mom said that too. Maybe there is some truth to it.

And yet you're okay with traitors, child molesters, rapists, murderers, thieves, and con-artists? As long as there's a "D" in front of their name they're perfect and saintly?
