#Trump isn't handling being a 34x #felon very well. In just a few hours, he dropped a DOZEN delusional video screeds on his personal social media platform. Lots of "I DID NOTHING WRONG!" and "I'M A POLITICAL PRISONER!!!" He referred to Allen Weisselberg as an "honest and respected bookkeeper", and went on a tangent about his "perfect NDAs". This is a sick man whose mind is collapsing before our very eyes.
#Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, legal adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.
Aside: #Trump just sent out a fundraising appeal falsely claiming he “could even be thrown into PRISON FOR LIFE!” if the jury in this case returns a guilty verdict.
Total bullshit.
He actually faces a maximum of 4 years in prison, or probation.
#Trump is selling our future to the #oilIndustry for his own enrichment. It's being done under the guise of political donations, but there's no chance a significant portion of this "donation" won't end up in his personal bank account. And what does he care? He'll be long gone by the time the details are uncovered, and authorities have any opportunity to hold him accountable. He'll be gone, and our children and grandchildren will be left with the consequences.
This is a seriously sick individual who's completely detached from reality. He simply cannot be president. He needs comprehensive psychiatric care, not the ability to launch nukes.
Everything is #rigged. Of course, he's never done anything wrong, and the nearly 100 #felonyIndictments against him are just evidence of what a poor, persecuted victim he is. It's all just one obscenely enormous #witchHunt involving thousands of public servants led by #JoeBiden (from his basement coma suite). This is the abject bullshit #Trump is hoping you believe, which is why he repeats it everytime a camera is nearby. Persuasion through repetition.
The prosecution asks that the defense be precluded from asking #StormyDaniels whether she was arrested. Justice #Merchan agrees w/the prosecutors, saying that “anybody can be arrested” & that it “doesn’t prove anything.”
The people call Stormy Daniels back to the stand
#Trump atty #Necheles begins questioning by saying that in 2011, Daniels denied having had sex w/Trump.
#StormyDaniels is pushing back on #Necheles, asking for evidence when the lawyer claims that Daniels had called her lawyer weak-willed.
Daniels: “Show me where I said that,” - forcing the defense to produce exhibits to back up allegations.
Necheles pulls up the transcript & audio & Daniels’s voice is not on the tape; it is #MichaelCohen & #KeithDavidson, her lawyer at the time - so Daniels is correct, not the #Trump atty.
#LaraTrump claims that the #Democrats are promoting and defending various #electionLaws because they want to make it easier to cheat. But history establishes that in virtually every case of fraud, it's the #Republicans who are #cheating. This is #gaslighting, pure and simple, from a woman whose judgement led her to marry #EricTrump—known by all to be the dumbest #Trump.
Nothing this man says bears any resemblance to the truth. It's just one absurd lie after another. The idea that #Democrats supported his efforts to criminalize #abortion is patently ridiculous. The only people who supported that bullshit are #Christofascist scoundrels on the far-right. Literally everyone else was vehemently opposed to the move.
To carry out a #deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, #Trump said he would be willing to build migrant #detentionCamps and deploy the U.S. #military, both at the border and inland. He would would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate #abortionBans.
#DonJr is dumber than a sack of Jell-O. He's spent his life unsuccessfully attempting to win his father's love, and he sees defending him publicly as his last shot. This desperation is easily seen in every public appearance, as he stammers his way through epicly absurd nonsense. It would be sad if he wasn't such an unlikeable tool. No wonder #Trump has spent the past 45 years trying to forget that his son exists.
#Trump wants to call #MichaelCohen a liar in court, but he doesn't want jurors to know that the lie Cohen told was at the direction, and for the benefit of Trump. This is called having your cake, and eating it, too.
“Just four years ago I was a very popular and successful President of the United States, getting more votes than any sitting President in history,” ~Trump
What the hell is this idiot talking about?! At no time in his political history has #Trump ever received more votes than his opponent. Hilary got 2.87 million more votes in 2016, and Biden got 7 million more votes in 2020.
Is there anyone more impotent than this sad, little, perpetual #crybaby? This #clown spends 10-12 hours each day posting incoherent, and grammatically disastrous screeds lashing out at everyone who doesn't pray at the alter of Trump. And at the end, he accuses his victims of having a derangement syndrome. I think we all know who's got the derangement syndrome.
Commander #MikeJohnson just flew to #MarALago on your tax dollars to tell you that he's pushing a bill he knows won't even pass that aims to make illegal what is already illegal. Then hid behind #Trump because he's scared to death of #MarjorieTraitorGreene. Name a more impotent, ineffective Speaker.
#Trump is a fat, orange, one-trick pony whose daily "two minutes hate" is becoming increasingly incoherent. He hates that he's been indicted on 91 felony counts, so he's now referring to HIS criminal cases as "Biden cases". It's almost too pathetic to even comment on. #Biden isn't facing any charges. He has literally nothing to do with it. But Trump thinks that his dumbshit supporters will just nod in agreement. And he's right about that.
Also a reminder that Big Journalism has never, ever attempted to pull it all together. Rather, our news media report only (some) individual cases of blatantly obvious corruption, which goes wide and deep.
It's like sporadically covering brush fires but never reporting that the entire forest is ablaze.
Understand that #Trump's sole purpose in publicly attacking the family of the judge presiding over his NY criminal case is to incite #stochasticViolence against the judge's family. When he posts the name of #JudgeMerchan's daughter, he's signaling his delusional, anti-American supporters to engage in threats, harassment, and violence against her. He wants to see her being attacked in his name.
He decided that it was more important to leave America exposed to the very threats he's whining about so he can campaign on the issue than to pass the bill, giving #Biden a perceived win. He doesn't care about America.
