Donald Trump’s legal difficulties should not be seen as some sort of uniquely American experience.
Other nations’ former presidents have been arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison for their crimes. How is it that Donald Trump so far has avoided being read his Miranda rights, forced to don the cuffs and marched off to the slammer?
I think it’s because we ourselves as a nation that treats defendants with dignity. We don’t rush to arrest someone formerly in power. We are an “indispensable nation” that values the “rule of law.”
It’s fair to ask whether Donald Trump would treat other defendants with dignity. Or would he lead campaign rally cheers to “lock him up”?
We all know the answer.
Still, I get the feeling that time is not necessarily Donald Trump’s friend.
One thought on “Why are we waiting to indict?”
