Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

    It’s a matter of privilege. Trump had the opportunity to stack the courts in his favor. SBF didn’t. The rich rally around Trump because they see him as one of their own. SBF was an interloper. Trump has a rabid fan base willing to commit violence in his name. SBF cloaked himself in effective altruism.

    If they both don’t rot in jail, then the myth of the social contract in the US will be torn to shreds. I fear what would happen after that.
