Every American President except Donald Trump has had zero criminal indictments, while Trump himself has faced 91. His legal troubles are highlighted by the fact that he has been arrested four times, and several of his associates, including Steve Bannon, General Flynn, Peter Navarro, Rudy Giuliani, and Roger Stone, have also been taken into custody. Meanwhile, none of Jeffrey Epstein's clients have been sentenced to prison, contrasting with the January 6th protestors who have collectively been sentenced to 847 years. Christian Parenti offers a perspective on why Trump's support remains robust, noting that '77 million Americans have criminal records' and may identify with Trump's predicament, suggesting that the Democrats' legal strategies against him are not effective.

January 6th protestors have received a combined 847 years in prison so far. Epstein clients have received a combined total of 0 years, 0 months, and 0 days in prison.
77 million Americans have criminal records, meaning they have at least been arrested. Many of these people may find themselves identifying with the 45th president. The Marxist economist Christian Parenti on why anti-Trump lawfare isn't working. https://t.co/KK1uIR0QFj
