Nothing is more 'crime-infested' than Trumpworld. His properties, his charity, his business, his "university", his friends, his campaign, his inauguration, his White House, his family.
He's a criminal, who gets away with it because he's rich and white and extremely racist. And that's all that "crime infested" attack is. Pure racism from a criminal who surrounds himself with thieves and rapists and treacherous charlatans because they're the only people he trusts pic.twitter.com/xL4rrgG3GD
