Closing In

On Saturday, the Washington Post published an article (link here) about how every organization Trump has led in the last decade or so is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

Trump's business, his administration, his campaign, his inaugural committee, his foundation, his children, and Trump himself are all subject to both criminal and civil investigations. With so many dubious actions and transactions, one has to imagine that the chances of him being busted -- and more than once -- are pretty high.

All this comes as no surprise. Trump has long had a lack of ethics. From his illegal discrimination against African-Americans who inquired about renting apartments to his hiring of illegal immigrants in his construction projects to his numerous transactions that appear to be money laundering for criminal elements, he has long played fast and loose with legality.

As many observers have noted, most people view the law as something that should be followed. Trump, however, has long viewed the law as something that can be skirted and avoided where possible and outright violated at times. So it's no wonder his practices and history are now under scrutiny.

You'd think someone with such a tendency would not deliberately put himself in the public fishbowl by running for the presidency, but then again Trump is often his own worst enemy.
