Of Course Trump’s People Are Committing Crimes — That Was Always the Plan

Of course it is against the law to be this “special.”

There’s nothing shocking about this.
There’s nothing surprising about this.
There’s nothing new about this.

The moment Trump regained power, this exact scenario became inevitable. A man who believes in no laws but his own self-interest was always going to surround himself with criminals who would commit crimes for him. Why wouldn’t they? He can now pardon them.

This was the plan. This was always the plan.

And now, we’re watching it unfold in real time.

1. The Criminal President Employs Criminals — What Else Is New?

Trump’s entire career has been built on crime, grift, fraud, and bending the system to his will.

✔ His first impeachment? Over trying to extort Ukraine.
✔ His second impeachment? Over inciting an insurrection.
✔ His business record? Fraud, tax evasion, scams, and lies.

So why would this term be any different?

Of course his people are committing crimes.
Of course Elon Musk is willing to break the law openly now.
Of course every billionaire, every crony, and every sycophant sees this as an era of lawlessness for the powerful.

This isn’t corruption in the abstract. This is a fully operational criminal syndicate.

2. Trump’s Ability to Pardon Makes This an Autocratic Free-for-All

This is why Trump could never be allowed back into power.

THIS. EXACT. ABUSE. OF. POWER.

He dangles pardons like rewards. His people don’t need to hide their crimes anymore — they just need to hold out long enough to get absolved.

  • Commit the crime.
  • Wait for the outrage.
  • Let Trump scream “witch hunt” and “deep state” as a defense.
  • Receive your official presidential pardon.
  • Walk free, knowing that the rule of law is a joke to this regime.

This is what happens when a president does not believe in law, justice, or accountability. His administration becomes a criminal enterprise, where loyalty to the boss is more important than loyalty to the country.

3. The Inevitable Collapse of Accountability

This is the real danger: the system will not stop this on its own.

🚨 Congress is compromised. MAGA Republicans won’t investigate their own corruption.
🚨 The Supreme Court is compromised. Stacked with Trump loyalists, it will twist itself in knots to protect him.
🚨 The Justice Department is weakened. Trump’s loyalists will gut investigations, delay cases, and obstruct justice.

When the government itself becomes a tool of criminal protection, the only remaining force of accountability is the people.

4. What Comes Next? The Full Crime State

We are at the beginning of something much worse.

🔴 This is not just about Trump committing crimes — it is about institutionalizing lawlessness for the powerful.
🔴 This is the collapse of any illusion of justice under his regime.
🔴 This is the transformation of America into a mafia state, where the only “crime” is opposing the boss.

We have entered the real danger zone. This is not the beginning of another four years of Trump — this is the beginning of an era where Trumpism goes fully unchecked.

And if history has taught us anything, it’s that unchecked corruption leads to collapse.

5. The Only Response: We Cannot Accept This as Normal

We knew this would happen. But knowing is not enough.

A government that protects its own criminals while punishing its citizens is not legitimate. A president who encourages crime while silencing dissent is not a leader — he is a tyrant. A billionaire class that now openly breaks laws because they believe in Trump’s protection is not above the law — it is a direct threat to democracy itself.

The system is not going to fix this. The institutions are not going to save us.

Only mass resistance, mass organization, and mass refusal to accept this as our future will change anything.

Because at this point, if we don’t fight back, we are choosing to be ruled by criminals.
