Under the law, there is no "supporting this group over that group." Now, if we weren't a republic, but were instead a totalitarian or authoritarian state, then you might have a point.
"Under the law"? Do you mean like in Roe v Wade where a new privacy right was created? Or in Kelo where suddenly corporations could take land for their own use, not the "public good" as the Constitution demands? Or in Citizens United where suddenly a corporation was declared to have "personhood?? Each time the Courts rule, be it local, or SCOTUS, a "law" is formed as determined by that Court. We call it a "ruling" yet it has the effect of law, and can only be changed by a higher Court, or the legislature.
As for Trump, I only doubt that he has committed crimes as president/candidate. I still think he raped his first wife, scammed the TU students, ripped-off the taxpayers of NJ, committed housing discrimination, engaged in sexual harassment, rode the Lolita Express, etc.
And the emoluments clause? How about obstruction of justice with his threats regarding ongoing investigations? Then there is the preventing of Latino's from entering the country to apply for asylum. And the list continues to grow.
