      They canā€™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 isnā€™t a billionaire. If you count his debts, he probably isnā€™t even a millionaire.

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