There aren't two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans.
With the help of Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and other defendants, Trump variously unlawfully inflated and deflated his net worth by billions to obtain and satisfy loans, get insurance benefits, and pay lower taxes.

In short, he lied to gain massive financial benefits for himself.
Trump's crimes are not victimless.
