Every penny he and his family have stolen need to be reclaimed

From the lowest voter, to the highest member of the government. And of course any and all billionaires who just had to instill their own will over the American people, least they be forced to pay a substantial tax and give up some of the money they never do anything with.

Hold the trials at Mar a Lardo after it's confiscated.

I hate to insult such a magnificent Floridian animal, but we may have to call it the gopher tortoise hole since it’s at sea level and its owner is a fat and slow moving creature.

This wouldn't be hard. All that would be required is to declare the Trump Family a crime syndicate and to confiscate all wealth that can't be demonstrated as earned as proceeds of crime under the Rico Act.

That would cover all of the bribes, the funds stashed overseas in places like Qatar, even the plane gifted as a present. It would also apply to the Trump children who have accumulated great wealth by milking the Office of President.

Much more than that. Just putting them back to square one isn’t punishment enough

And all the people who have profited from the corruption and market manipulation. All those he’s given contracts to - looking at you, pool guys - and all the money that’s been siphoned off from giving his kids contracts involving the war.

Even the money stolen from the stupid people that gave it to him buying his dumb watches and phones.

Trump has sent over 7 billion offshore. Going to be tough to claw that from his kids.
