“There is no way to spin that this is a good day for Donald Trump," one Democratic strategist said after Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts in New York.
Al Capone didn’t go to prison for operating a racket or any of the numerous murders he committed or was involved with. He went to prison for tax evasion. This might be the closest we get to him ever being held accountable and I’ll take it. Hopefully the court understands this and gives him the maximum sentence knowing the context of his actions.
It’s a bit disappointing, but that’s just how things work.
Also, given that Trump has been comparing himself to Al Capone recently in his speeches, this is quite hilarious outcome.
