THREAD: Even if you set aside all the crimes he’s committed as President, we now have a clear picture of 10 provable crimes Trump committed BEFORE he even became President #FridayThoughts #TrumpTrainwreck (1/11)
1. Sexual Assault.
More than two dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct, assault, or rape. In 2020, Bill Barr is protecting Trump in a case where he refuses to give a DNA sample that would theoretically clear his name.

2. Racial Discrimination.
Before becoming the #BirtherInChief, Trump already had a long and well-documented history of racism, much of it illegal.

Candidate Trump bragged openly his history of bribing politicians. In 2013, his “charity” gave an illegal “donation” of $25,000 to corrupt #Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

4. Consumer Fraud.
Trump’s lifetime of sleazy scams included cheating war widows and seniors out of their life savings at a fake “University” that used plagiarized content from the internet as its course materials.

5. Charity Fraud
Trump is the only President to have been caught stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from children with #cancer. His own Foundation was shut down for misusing donations raised for #veterans during the 2016 campaign.

6. Tax Fraud.
Trump’s own niece Mary Trump revealed that Trump’s wealth was created by defrauding the US government through “dubious tax schemes” and “outright fraud.” He has fought to the Supreme Court to hide tax returns that likely show additional criminal activity.

7. Bank Fraud.
We found out in 2019 that Trump, in one transaction alone, had committed a $270 million bank fraud in 2012 simply by inflating the value of one property in NY. Ongoing investigations are expected to reveal more about the #TrumpCrimeFamily’s illegal operations.

8. Insurance Fraud.
In 2005, Trump committed blatant insurance fraud, claiming $17M for hurricane damage at Mar-a-Lago that was limited to a few flattened trees and the loss of a few roof tiles. The Manhattan DA’s ongoing investigation is expected to prove more insurance fraud.

9. Money Laundering.
#Trump’s Taj Mahal casino broke anti-money laundering rules 106X in its first year and a half of operation in the early 1990s. In 1998, the #TajMahal paid “the largest fine the federal government ever slapped on a casino for violating the Bank Secrecy Act.”

10. Petty Theft.
#Trump was one of the cheapo celebrities caught up in Fifth Avenue jewelry retailer Bulgari’s “Empty Box Scam” to save a few bucks in NY sales tax. Trump snitched on Bulgari to keep his casino license.
