Do you think that Trump will go for the Affluenza defense if found guilty of obstruction of justice?

Asked by Pandora (32211points) May 19th, 2017

I’ve noticed a theme in the news lately. Many are starting to write off his behavior by saying that he is ignorant of his wrong doing because he has never faced any real consequences in his life for the things he does an say.

I agree that he probably does feel like he can get away with anything because he pretty much gets things his way in his business and probably private life. But hows this an excuse for breaking laws that even a high school graduate could probably figure out.

If his lawyers do try to use this as his defense will it work?
If it does work than couldn’t every criminal who never suffered consequences for breaking laws be let off the hook? I mean, you don’t have to be rich to be sheltered.
