Everyone breaks this law, and they only come after you if you've got skin in the game.

In conclusion: if you're rich, avoid politics, and you can do pretty much whatever you want.

Yep - and here's Stewart's brilliant response, x2

His comment on this dumb comparison, which is out of context for the process of valuations in general.

"OMG!! I've been caught doing something not remotely similar to Trump!" the comedian posted on Wednesday. "I guess all I need to do now is start a fraud college, steal classified docs, bankrupt casinos, pay hush money, grab pussies, discriminate in housing, cheat at golf and foment insurrection and you'll revere me!"

And to quote a Redditor:

Jon would just be getting started. He'd also need to insult war heroes, brag that 9/11 made his tower the tallest in New York, lie about the size of his inauguration crowd, overbill the government for the cost of his inauguration, accept millions in payments from foreign governments while in office, accept a $2 billion loan in exchange for overlooking the assassination of a US national, evade taxes with a fake charitable foundation, evade taxes with fake land valuations, creep on the underage girls at his teenage beauty pageant, trick his supporters into donating to a nonexistent election defense fund, trick his supporters into signing up for recurring donations, solicit election interference from Russia, blackmail a military ally to commit election interference, refuse to help in a pandemic if it affects blue states, convince people to kill themselves with hydroxychloroquine instead of following real medical advice, use the military to attack protesters, and obstruct multiple legitimate government investigations ranging from foreign election interference to illegally retained classified documents. Better get started Jon!

And: his comment on Trump's corruption
