Same should go for voting. Felons deserve to vote as well not just run for presidency.

As a registered SO this would make my life a lot better.

Hold on, is this Trump's actual account?

Yes and when I win the presidency in November I will force you to make ghost buster movies until you die. The best part is that no one will ever believe you when you tell them the that.

Felons should be allowed to vote for the felon if they want.

How about if a person successfully and fully completes their sentence associated with the felony(s) that they were charged with the felony is removed from their record.

We as a country have decided that certain punishments are meted out for certain crimes. If the person serves the punishment that we the people have decided is appropriate then why are they still saddled with the sentence of their former crime after the punishment is served?

Reductio ad absurdum: Felony conviction for child molestation. Removed from record. Should they have free reign to be able to apply for any job, even if it might involve children?

You are talking about the conviction, I am talking about the punishment. We the people of this country decide what the punishments are for crimes.

So in the case of a murder conviction it maybe decided that this person has to be incarcerated for 20 years. They do their time and released. They did the punishment We decided as appropriate for the crime. They are done.

In your example again We the people get to decide the punishment. It could be (and probably is) part of the punishment that a convicted child molester can never have a job working with people under a certain age. Maybe in this case the punishment can never fully be carried out so they always carry the moniker of felon/child molester.

All I'm saying is that for those crimes that have a definitive start and end point for the punishment there should be a qualifying start and end point for the title of felon.

I agree, but we all know the state and landlords won't do that. It's us vs the rich. The rich want the poor to be good brainwashed workers, and if you did anything the state said is now illegal (being homeless) then you deserve zero of your constitutional rights!

Just dumb founding that Trump can just walk around freely and raise more money from his crimes, and yet people are arrested for shoplifting needed supplies, and squater's rights are removed on empty yet perfectly fine private property.
