Unless the legislature passed a law declaring Trump, by name, to be a criminal without a trial, it is not an unconstitutional Bill (Act) of Attainder. Bills (Acts) of Attainder are proscribed by the Constitution to prevent legislatures from exceeding their powers and assuming the role of the Judicial branch. Legislatures can pass laws, change laws, change statutes of limitations, but CAN NOT declare a person guilty.
Additionally:
Unless Trump is being criminally charged with something that was not a crime when the act was committed, it is NOT an "Ex Post Facto" law. Both are covered in the same Constitutional Article and Section.
Art. I.S9.C3.1 Bills of Attainder <---------------- cut, paste and search. Read.
A person who CAN read, but doesn't, is no different than a person who can't read.
When you hear this nonsense on the internet, it is simple to actually look it up and fact check it.
