Everyone knows, but presumption of innocence is an important precept.

For the courts presumption of innocence is important, but as people, we know this guy. Trump University, Trump Charitable Foundation, Trump Org. All have been found by the courts to operate fraudulently. We don't owe him any benefit of a doubt.

The press does. That’s why the title is the way it is.

Perhaps we can refer to him as a systemic fraudster rather than ex-president?

I appreciate you're trying to be the voice of reason here, though
