      They can’t arrest him. In the U.S., we have a wealth threshold above which there is no accountability.

      The only reason trump is being held accountable is because he isn’t a billionaire. If you count his debts, he probably isn’t even a millionaire.

      His son-in-law Jared sold secrets to the Saudis for billions, but now he’s a billionaire so he cannot be held accountable for being a spy and a traitor. That’s how we do things in the U.S. The wealthy cannot be held accountable here.
