America 🇺🇸 it's time to get serious and prosecute in all these cases to the full extent of the law!

[jamesbrowne]

Yea a little late so much damage already done, he should get the full punishment just like I or you would.

[gregdenson]

It never should've been allowed to go on this long.

[Andysw]

If any other defendant behaved the way he has they’d be in jail for contempt long before now. Two-tiered justice system on full display.

A sad episode in the story of this country, no room for romanticism 🇺🇲🇺🇲

[EVSmith-ebdv]

Trump always says he wants to be tried by folks that look like him saying that judges who are immigrants can't be fair is basically saying that folks who look like him will look the other way on his crimes. Hes saying his kind of people are corrupt.

[robon]

His unwillingness to listen to the court and continue to speak about the judge and prosecutor is unacceptable he’s a disgrace. And how many times can he proclaim that it’s rigged or a witch hunt he needs to go away

[Terance]

Trump should have just stayed on the apprentice

[joeadler]

I've lived in NY most of my life. Always saw his criminal intentions from the 1970's till now.. it is long over due for him to be held accountable

[herbwand]

The system is skewed. He shouldn’t have been allowed to get to this point.

[Pookiegmaw]

Quit letting Trump get away with all of this

[marynelson]

Trump needs to be held accountable for his crimes

[thombacho-pscf]

The important thing is that Donald Trump is held accountable for his actions because Justice matters

[chrisbelford]

Until jail or disqualification, there is no accountability.

[gibsonduwe]

Make America great again 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (by putting trump in prison)

[gamerboy-lwhk]

I haven't forgotten what he has done to America. Trump needs to go to jail.

[busabrye]

He should have been in prison years ago

[donnabirtley]

I try to hold on to the hope that Trump faces justice worthy of his crimes. We the people are assaulted daily with a deluge of news articles of his antics & insults. It would sting less if he wasn't running for president. It's insulting.

Lack of accountability : George W. Bush who started a war w/ lies and started the financial crisis

[paulevans]

It about time 😢😮😅😊 to hold trump in jail
