Question:
How can a person who has these type of documents and accusations about them ever be allowed to run for any type of political position? Let alone become the president of a country (twice)?

It’s because legally, having a criminal record doesn’t disqualify you from running. There isnt anything preventing this. Most likely its to help prevent a minor mishap from long ago condemning your future abilities (otherwise, you’d have all sorts of small charges against every politician to destroy their career. It would make the worst blackmail material).

Now, morally why did enough people vote for him anyway is a whole different issue that I don’t have an answer for.

It’s also so that someone can’t weaponize law enforcement on their political opponents. So let’s say you’re president. You come after me on a bogus charge. I’ve now got a record. I can no longer run against you.

Morally, I agree entirely.

Crazy to me, that, this is all true, I can become the president, can’t vote for it. Assuming it’s a felony.

Edit: I have educated myself, and this is not the case. I am not a felon, do not have any experience lol I’ve just, incorrectly, heard, that you can’t vote if you’re a felon.
