Fuck off with that nonsense. There's been incontrovertible proof and unwitting confessions from himself publicly available for years and he's been found guilty in civil courts several times. It's only a matter of time before he's found guilty in criminal court too. Unless the "justice" system is as broken as it sometimes seems to be.

Bottom line, there's more proof of him being guilty than of owls existing.

Reread the picture. It's not asking, "Why is Trump guilty?" or "Did Trump commit crimes? It's asking, "Why is Trump being prosecuted?" Too many innocent people are prosecuted for us to ignore this distinction when it regards someone we despise.

Nope, still a load of shit in the specific case of Trump. It's innocent until proven guilty and there's more publicly available proof of him being 100% without a a shadow of a doubt guilty than of cheetahs being fast runners.

Innocent people might also be prosecuted, but Trump has committed multiple crimes and that's why he's being prosecuted. It's not any more complicated than that.
