Donnie didn’t learn his lesson from the gun store incident. He is not allowed to be involved in any transactions involving firearms, including auctioning one off. The lucky winning bidder could also be legally liable for assisting lawbreaking. > **[Donald Trump may have just broken the law](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-mar-lago-glock-auction-law-1842854)** > > Trump has come under scrutiny after a gun was auctioned off at a fundraiser held in his Mar-a-Lago, Florida, home. ---

I’m late to this party. If the studio apartment sit com is a go, I suggest, for a running gag, they sleep in a three tier bunkbed, like the 3 Stooges. Trump on top, with the inevitable telescoping of the bed. The laugh track will love it! ---

No victims? What about the people of New York and the US who pay their taxes without cheating? The community suffers when the people with the most money don’t pay a fair share. He sounds panicked. ---

I suppose trump could go out on 5th Ave and shoot someone. That’d probably get that lazy racist AG to prosecute a murder. Then trump could ~~complain~~ whine about all those unprosecuted fraudsters out there. trump whines: collect the whole set. ---

It is clear that Trump never had to face the consequences of his actions at any point in his life. Now that he is facing a reckoning, he can only respond like a child.
