Last night, Trump’s chief of staff told the press that no one outside of Washington cares about the Trump administration’s violations of the Hatch Act.
But if they think no one cares about the law, why is Trump running as a “law and order” president?

With Trump’s selective fixation on “law and order,” he is showing his hand: The phrase is nothing more than a racist dog whistle.
Let’s take a look at his record:
Let’s take a look at his record:
Trump’s business:
Charged with housing discrimintation, defrauding customers, tax evasion and more. It has settled more lawsuits that we can count and is currently under investigation by the Manhattan DA, and the NY AG. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/new-york-ag-trump-organization-lawsuit/2020/08/24/882c03a8-e60e-11ea-bc79-834454439a44_story.html

Trump’s charity:
Had to shut down and pay a $2 million fine for illegal behavior including improper political activities and "repeated and willful self-dealing transactions." https://www.npr.org/2019/11/07/777287610/judge-says-trump-must-pay-2-million-over-misuse-of-foundation-funds

Trump’s 2016 campaign:
Several senior officials from the campaign have been sentenced to prison, and Trump personally appears to have committed up to eight different campaign finance crimes to cover up his hush money payments. https://www.citizensforethics.org/a-campaign-to-defraud-2/

Trump’s White House:
Of course there are a record breaking number of Hatch Act violations, but if that doesn’t do it for you, there’s also the destruction of presidential records, and blatant violations of the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution. https://www.citizensforethics.org/congress-must-stop-white-house-officials-hatch-act-violations/

Trump’s DHS:
GAO found that acting director Chad Wolf was illegally appointed, but Trump is promoting him.
Trump rails against Latino immigrants as criminals, but told DHS officers not to worry about illegally blocking entry because he would pardon them. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/08/25/if-you-get-in-trouble-ill-pardon-you-ex-dhs-official-miles-taylor-says-trump-promised-protection-for-illegal-policies/#ad2bde544f80

Trump’s DOJ:
AG Barr released a misleading “summary” of the Mueller report before the public could see it for themselves.
Then he allowed unmarked federal forces to crush racial justice protests, possibly violating protestors’ Constitutional rights. https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-releases-attorney-general-barr-impeachment-report/

Trump must not be allowed to get away with peddling his “tough on crime” talking points when he and his administration have committed some of the most consequential and damaging violations of the law in recent memory.
And for the record, people do care.
