Many tell us what to think. I ask my readers to be skeptical. Question me and others. 
After Donald J. Trump was found guilty, many complained that it was a petty issue. They might be right that politics were behind it.
About a century ago, Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion, not for his murderous actions as a gangster. In his infamous mafia affairs, Al Capone was cautious in covering his tracks and intimidating potential witnesses. So, the law caught him where he did not expect it.
As a businessman and a politician, Trump is a despicable person. Sadly, lack of character, dishonesty, and common fraud seem to dominate now politics in the U.S. Trump convinced about half of Americans that he is the right man to drain the swamp. He had his four years and proved he was as good or bad as others. It is time for him to retire. As he still muddles the minds of many Americans, a petty guilty verdict might be good for the nation. The law is the law, as Trump says, to illegal immigrants.
