Convicted felon Donald Trump?
Convicted felon Donald Trump.
I’m sorry, how many counts was it? 3? No. 4? No….somebody help me out here.
The mean number of US presidential felonies is .75.
Trump is truly an extraordinary president, since he's single handedly raised that number from zero to where it is today, and he's not even done yet.
Truly providing an excellent education in why statistical means are sometimes very misleading.
Can't wait to see someone seriously say, "what's the big deal if he's a felon? I heard that almost three quarters of presidents commit a felony."
Gonnaa be wild when he gets that mean up to 1 or higher. It'll seem like every president did at least one felony.
Yes, there was a 3 and a 4 in the number.
Actually, it was 3 AND 4! Together! 34!
edit: dang, someone already made the joke. Lol.
Say it again for the people in the back
Convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump.
Twice impeached, quadruple indicted, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, Donald Trump!
I don’t know the specific legal terms to express this, but let’s not forget the civil fraud trial brought by Letitia James as well.
Piling on!
15 year penalty!
Well now it's starting to sound like the Shia LaBeouf song.
Actual criminal Donald Trump.
All things that just keep making him more appealing to republicans!
