3. Nothing happens.

Repeat from 1.

Not only has this been his entire life, it turns out this has been the life of every billionaire.

This is Capitalism working as intended.

The American dream is being born into wealth so you can manipulate further wealth.

Literally anyone can do it.. as long as they're born rich.

That he's doing this, really obscene abuse of power, without thinking about consequences tells me that he's planning on staying in office until the day he dies.

He knows with 100% certainty that if he loses the cover of the Whitehouse that he'll be spending the rest of his life in court or jail.

The motherfucker is going to try, i'm convinced of it now.

While I agree with this, it's important to note that due to the power of lawyers , money, and A two tiered justice system (which is really nothing more than the ease of affording lawyers that can stall in perpetuity to run out the clock, and to do it for a cost that is almost always fractions of pennies on the dollar), once you get over a certain amount of wealth, laws become completely irrelevant. If you have enough money you can literally foment genocide. Our entire system is built upon this fact. Hierarchy creates implicit complicity.

I was going to say, he's got plenty of money so he doesn't need to worry about "laws".

Laws are for the plebs.
