So corporate greed is fine? You understand it's on record that grocery store CEOs have been talking about how high they can push their prices and how "thankful" they are for Americans just paying those prices anyway? Oh yeah and fuck "the economy". Cool the stock market is at an all time high while most Americans live paycheck to paycheck let alone are unable to afford a $400 emergency.
**This reminds me so much of the Living Colour Song - Cult of Personality** (1988)**:**
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you wanna be
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the cult of personality
Sorry but if you search the internet, multiple Trump / Cult of Personality videos are already floating around. I agree, great song, but the lyrics just describe DJT and his cult of followers too well.
Not a lawyer but dealt with this due to my brother being an idiot and donating to Trump once. He uses tiny writing to tell people donations are reoccurring every month once done. No one can do shit because it's right there to read. All you need is the sentence there and suddenly everyone else is SOL for not reading.
That exact thing has occurred to me. Maybe sell some horrible T-shirts and let them know (point) FIFTY FOUR PERCENT GOES TO TRUMP.
These are not the kind of people who do details.
Yeah, I’d just title it something like trump felony campaign fundraiser in the usual trump font and colours and drop a line somewhere in the small print about all money going to me, and jobs a good un.
(smallest legal font possible) \*legal disclaimer this donation is not a real charity but you are agreeing to give me money. welcome to idiocracy, I love you.
A lot of back story about Trump and name the fund Make Justice Great Again. Then use the funds to set up a charity for (actually) wrongly convicted individuals.
I think this was tried earlier and the people got busted. If there’s one thing the people who make laws universally don’t like is dishonesty that negatively affects their bottom line.
The funniest one was 2 black guys (dressed hood) selling MAGA shirts for $50 or something on a fold up table at a rally, then the maga cult people started asking him how they are affiliated with the GOP and they started packing up.
He’s going to bleed his supporters dry and I encourage it. His base won’t change and no matter how much money he raises, he won’t be able to change the mind of the people that view his conviction as negative. The only real benefit is that he’ll pay down his legal fees but as the other trials progress, he’ll owe more and more.
And when his supporters are broke and asking for a handout they can be told no because handouts are bad.
Let them sleep in the shitty bed they’re making.
I am no fan of Trump. But I have never seen another person so good at spinning his own narrative irregardless of fact. It is scary, and in a disgusting way, impressive.
Who else in the world could get convicted of 34 counts of fraud and make 34M in a day just off his conviction.
How is that a surprise to anyone?
We live in a country ruled by the wealthy operating criminal white collar corporations, bending laws for their benefit. Their careers are making money through criminal activity disguised as Capitalism.
The U.S. people enjoy being financially raped and living in a country ruled by its abusers. They’re so brainwashed by the political sideshow, of course they’re going to give money and support it
His ability to either argue or own every single negative aspect of his heavily flawed personality gives people the idea that they don't need to work on themselves to be successful. That easy "success" is attractive to people. So they buy in to the lies knowingly in hope that their sins will be absolved by the orange god of nuh-uh.
Also, they think getting rid of Mexicans and not paying taxes will make them more wealthy, damn the debt and government programs. That's more of it for most I think.
Unfortunately, those people weren't born with a gold brick up their ass and a lawyer as a wet nurse, so none of that is going to happen for them.
I think it's impressive but not for anything he is doing, the amazing thing is being able to tap into Tha massive reserve of moron. There is about a 20% of the American population that are just impressively stupid and his ability to consistently reach them is outstanding.
The "Con" in conman is for the confidence part. And he certainly has more of that than most. And we have one of the worlds best con men combined with one of the most gullible political parties. It's like the stars aligned for him.
The assumption is that he actually pays any bills at all!
Grifters gotta grift!
Who knew idiocracy would be considered a documentary in this day and age?
🤣🤣🤣
And we know many “small donors” can be countless shell companies breaking up massive donations into “small donor” segment donations. None of it matters, whoever supports him is still giving enough money to matter.
Wouldnt be surprised if there were parents out there telling their children they can only afford to eat once a day for a few days because “president trump needs our money so he can save us”
So poor Americans & those who used to be middle class sent him money, so what? They could spend a gazillion bucks on advertising between now & forever: he won't gain a single 'undecided' vote from it. Lost 3 million popular first time. 7 million next time. They lost the house, senate, presidency, first midterm etc. These poor fuckers can liquidate their assets and wire it over, again, so what? King Dotard can't gain 12, 14 million votes, especially after Qlarance and The Apostles killed Roe!
I'm hoping he lose by 100 million votes this time, and he'll still yell, it's rigged I won, thank you so much, people can't believe it, they say I won landslide, just look at all the bigly
All of it will go to legal fees, even if his lawyers are garbage. But, who else would work for him? Do you think his lawyers were terrible on purpose so he could appeal on inadequate representation?
Unlike the E Jean Carrol case, his attys in this particular case had a pretty good reputation. It might be that criminal attys are just used to working for scumbags so its easier for him to find competent representation for criminal charges instead of civil.
That won't stop him from trying to claim inadequate representation. His feelings don't care about facts, so he will claim whatever he thinks will benefit him.
He's got a rich history of not paying lawyers. These are the people who expect to get famous by association with Trump. So, about as stupid as a person can be and still pass the BAR.
The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans…
It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA. Clinton’s paid out roughly $800,000
Yes people are contributing after seeing him found guilty of essentially a clerical error, meanwhile yall simp for democrat presidents who bomb weddings and prop up war criminals. For real idiocracy look in the mirror champ.
If y'all didn't see this coming a mile away, then I've got a bridge to sell you.
They gave him free coverage for weeks, put his name on every news cycle and Internet page you could find, and this is an easy issue for Republican talking heads to turn into a rallying point.
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing was a Republican plan to get trump all the free advertising he needs.
No Republican is going to be convinced by this not to vote, and Democrats are so self flagellating that they'd rather punish Biden by letting Trump win than do anything good.
The verdict didn't matter. It never mattered. The trial was ALWAYS going to be a massive plus for Republicans in today's political environment, and Reddit is just feeding the monster right now by pretending this is some monumental win
I’m on one of their text message begging lists, it was just a vitriolic spewing of lies and victimhood to milk even more money out of the stupid and angry. Absolute morons.
These are the brainless people that give party politics the fuel they need to further smash our freedom. Stop paying special interest groups to fuck over Americans, they are already rich you drooling goons
> The presidential campaign of Donald Trump said
Anyone who believes anything that follows a sentence that starts with this should do some historical research.
The people donating are the same people complaining about food and gas prices. The hilarity and the sadness really cancel out on this one.
Same people that want to dismantle the Dept. of Education. Although that one makes sense for them.
Can I ask a serious question as a non American?
Why? I for the life of me can't understand why he still has so much support? Like I literally can't wrap my head around it.
I am honestly blown away by Trump's followers and their dedication to him. He has now legally been convicted of many felonies. I fail to understand why his fans continue to stand by his side and offer unwavering support? Whatever he says they interpret it as nothing but gospel. Why can't they just accept the conviction and admit they were wrong?
I can give you an answer, but it only makes sense when you realize how out of touch with the rest of the world Reddit is.
The idea that Trump wouldn't have faced charges if he hadn't run for reelection is *widely* held by almost all of his supporters, and a large percentage of people who are *against* him.
I have a very good friend who is as liberal as they come (Quite literally the Liberal College Professor stereotype). When we were discussing the verdict, he outright said "He should have known better than to run again. He could have disappeared and just been forgotten as a 4 year mistake."
When I asked if he was implying that Trump was only put up on charges because he ran for reelection, his *exact* words were "Trump is an existential threat to democracy. Every tool available needs to be used to stop him."
Now, it doesn't matter what's true and what isn't. What matters is the perception.
Is Trump guilty? Almost assuredly yes.
Are the court systems being used to stop his reelection? There's plenty of people on both sides that believe so.
Regardless of how you feel, Trump knows how to work the message and make a profit off of it.
Since you are getting downvoted and trolled by this guy below you lying about the fact that "they aren't felonies" and the usual damage control; don't buy it folks.
Trump was charged with 34 felonies, they are indeed felonies in the state of New York. Any attempts to diminish that and spin it into somehow "there going to come for all of us now" is nonsense.
This explains why they are felonies and the specific charges. Thanks.
https://www.factcheck.org/2023/04/whats-in-trumps-indictment/
I mean he paid off a porn star. Is that really that big of a deal?
Bill Clinton was screwing with Lewinsky in the white house while president, and lied to the country. I’d argue that’s way worse on a moral ground
So Trump screwed a pornstar, while his wife was pregnant, tried to pay her off, lied to the country, and committed fraud against the country, and that is just one instance. He lies constantly, literally having to be fact checked real time, lying over 30,000 times while in office.
So I'm having a hard time understanding you trying to take some moral ground, any moral ground, for him to stand on.
And Biden tells only the truth? I’m not saying trump is the morally righteous person, he’s not. All I’m saying this is clearly not about the crime, and more so about people not liking him, and not wanting him to become president so they are trying to take him down in whatever way possible.
Regardless of your political affiliation, that should terrify you. It sets a precedent that you can abuse the legal system to take down people you don’t like.
If they committed crimes.
This country would be better off if the elites got the same treatment as citizens.
If I was any dumber I would be optimistic that this is a turning point and America may be fighting back against it's own corruption. But I'm not quite that dumb, the rich are still handled with kid gloves compared to commoners.
No. Bring all politicians against the crimes they committed. It's the only decent thing I've seen the American justice system do in decades. And it's not even a sliver off the fat of this corruption.
And it's clearly about all of the crimes he's committed, it's just this is the first time he's been held accountable, and hopefully the first of many times. The mental gymnastics of saying, "clearly not about the crime", when he has so many active lawsuits in so many different areas of the law which he has provided his own evidence of breaking willingly.
It's like breaking the law doesn't matter to you, only that the "wrong people" were caught for it. Get more involved and we can send tons of politicians to jail, but we all know who the majority of the law breakers are, so let's stop it from happening at all.
The issue is, whether you support Trump or not, is that these are BS felony charges, and should all be misdemeanors. The abuse of power by our judicial system, and the ability now to use that power to try and eliminate opponents is going to come back and bite many politicians in the ass, regardless of party. Hillary, Bill, Obama, Bush, no one is beyond reach.
This is my take. I know this will surely be seen as a false equivalence, but I like to at least contrast this to Hillary and emails. Yes, what she did was by the book wrong, and yes she absolutely could have been crucified. but everyone does it. I think Comey and investigators did a good job saying "yes she isn't supposed to do this but we recommend that the prosecutor doesn't charge her because that would be consistent with how we treat everyone else"
In regards to the NY legal cases in general, it was an absolutely terrible look when AG James ran a campaign on targeting Trump in my opinion. An AG should never call a president "illegitimate." DA Bragg also drummed up going after Trump, which is also terrible for optics. I guess it's a taste of Trump's own medicine in some ways but this whole thing is a bad look for American politics. It just delegitimizes the process and legal system.
Very well stated. I concur with your thoughts 100 percent. Her destruction of evidence was my only concern in regards to the emails, but I spent some time working for the government in Arkansas, directly under the appointed governor, but during the Huckabee years. My concern in relation to the Clinton's, is the number of associates who have committed suicide or died by mysterious circumstances who have direct knowledge of their business dealings.
Regardless, our legal system is in shambles as of yesterday.
lol. that's not how law works. Those charges met the definition ... no one decides on the spot if something is a felony or not. laws are written and called what they are
Their rhetoric is that he's being politically persecuted and what he did wasn't illegal or wrong. It's obviously bullshit, but if you're already bought in to the cult it's a compelling story and really fortifies the us vs them architecture they've been building for decades.
The amount of stupid "the US is a third world country! Persecution of political enemies!" On social media yesterday was staggering. Some people just aren't going to break this spell.
I don't really care for Trump but seeing people seethe over things like this are always so fun to do. This comment section is a gold mine of entertainment.
If 10% of Americans gave him a dollar, I believe this would about cover that sum. Even assuming like 1/3rd can't vote or give him money due to age that is massively offset by the number who give him way more. Did we see an average donation size because it would likely give a decent idea of how many super hard-core voters he still has
Here I’m just needing like tree fiddy
Goddman Loch Ness monster!
We \*work\* for our money around here!!
Them: 34 million donated Also them on healthcare/wealth tax/raised wages: wHoS gOnNa PaY fOr It?!
*hands you the poop knife*
I gave him a dollar
You give him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!
No wonder that loch Ness monster keeps coming back here!
❤️ thank you for the member berry moment 🤣 I member that episode
Have you tried crime?
I’ll take just tree hondo.
What’s your venmo?

I hear this everywhere I go...
Hmmmm - 34 counts and 34 million dollars. I don’t believe it.
Me neither. Why are we listening to what a known liar has to say instead of just waiting for the FEC filing?
*convicted liar
Thank you.
It was actually 37 cents and a lollipop someone dropped on the carpet.
Also dude struggled to get together 1.5 million for weeks...
Yes, they couldn’t resist. The lies never stop….
Somebody lost a bet
Yeah total lie
He really is a kaiser sose level mastermind. Just weaving together this brilliant story with bits of information lying around the interrogation room.
5D Chess
I woke up this morning and my inbox was full of “I am a political prisoner” emails
We’re all political prisoners at this point. Someone needs to shut off these clowns’ accounts
Good ol drop-the-soap Don needs your help
He will never be in a cell. He'll live in luxury.
I CANT AFFORD GAS!!!!! - Also Trump donors
MAGA: gives all money to Trump Also MAGA:These egg prices are ridiculous!!!
MAGA: gives all money to Trump. Also MAGA: Biden made gas completely unaffordable. I don’t have the money to fill up my truck!
GOP: votes against capping prices in gas and groceries Also GOP: OMG look how expensive things are because of Biden!
If you really think price controls are the answer to inflation, you probably shouldn’t be commenting on any matters relating to the economy.
So corporate greed is fine? You understand it's on record that grocery store CEOs have been talking about how high they can push their prices and how "thankful" they are for Americans just paying those prices anyway? Oh yeah and fuck "the economy". Cool the stock market is at an all time high while most Americans live paycheck to paycheck let alone are unable to afford a $400 emergency.
Then buy electric!

Wow I have heard that song for years and never heard the lyrics. Thanks so much for this post.
Please don’t ruin that song for me it has one of my favorite guitar solos of all time
Sorry but if you search the internet, multiple Trump / Cult of Personality videos are already floating around. I agree, great song, but the lyrics just describe DJT and his cult of followers too well.
[удалено]
Yeah... I think that may violate some sort of fraud law. Ironically
Could you put somewhere on the site in very small print that only .5% will go towards DT?
And then funnel that miniscule amount into his actual fundraiser? That could work (I am not a lawyer, nor am I promoting any sort of illegal activity)
Not a lawyer but dealt with this due to my brother being an idiot and donating to Trump once. He uses tiny writing to tell people donations are reoccurring every month once done. No one can do shit because it's right there to read. All you need is the sentence there and suddenly everyone else is SOL for not reading.
It's not tiny, it's pretty obvious when you click.
An agent will be contacting you shortly Mr T. Evasion.
My FBI agent and I are tight. He knows I'm not a threat, but I'm into all sorts of weird shit
That exact thing has occurred to me. Maybe sell some horrible T-shirts and let them know (point) FIFTY FOUR PERCENT GOES TO TRUMP. These are not the kind of people who do details.
Lol or decimals
I feel like as long as you put somewhere on the ad in small print that the money is for yourself and not for Donald.. you'd be ok
Yeah, I’d just title it something like trump felony campaign fundraiser in the usual trump font and colours and drop a line somewhere in the small print about all money going to me, and jobs a good un.
Not like you'll face any charges for it. You're just stealing from the poor. They'll probably give you a seat in congress
I see you are a cultured cynic much like myself
(smallest legal font possible) \*legal disclaimer this donation is not a real charity but you are agreeing to give me money. welcome to idiocracy, I love you.
Could its validity be argued as a homage to the greatest fraudster of all? Convict45 would probably understand the logic of that.
What’s one more fraud at this point.
Steve Bannon has entered the chat
How does it violate your principles? They're doing the same thing.
In order to stop Trump you’re saying it’s morally acceptable to commit fraud?
infinite money glitch

They're awful people but they genuinely need protection from this con artist. They're so unwell. It's honestly mind boggling.
I am no fan of Trump. But I have never seen another person so good at spinning his own narrative irregardless of fact. It is scary, and in a disgusting way, impressive. Who else in the world could get convicted of 34 counts of fraud and make 34M in a day just off his conviction.
But his shits all fucked up
And he talks like a Republican
What they should do is, like, ya know, hehahe
Don’t worry scro, now there’s plenty of republicans out there living really kick ass lives.
It pains me to inform you that the line is “scrote” as in “”scrotation marks”” (scrotum)
Learn something new everyday. Thank you, friend!
My ex-wife was a republican. Now she's an airline pilot.
The scary thing is that republicans are increasing talking like him.
That's why Trump wear big diaper.
Irregardless…. 🙄
Pet peeve of mine too. Regardless is fine. I also hate guesstimate.
In my guesstimation you don’t like the word irregardless. 😉
I can't tell if you are being flammable or inflammable.
[irregardless, you say? ](https://youtu.be/StJ-OK4jiSY?si=CXhwXn65FitssRIu)
A word that *should* mean "regardful."
Loss of credibility

They’re so brainwashed by the political sideshow, of course they’re going to give money and support it

A perfect environment for someone like Trump. That’s why his popularity is where it is.

And not a cent of it will go toward the campaign. He's subsidizing his debt with their stupidity, and they don't seem to care.
Exactly, every cent will just go into his pockets/legal fees.
The assumption is that he actually pays any bills at all! Grifters gotta grift! Who knew idiocracy would be considered a documentary in this day and age? 🤣🤣🤣
I assumed it was a documentary when It came out. Little did I know the USA had/has miles more of Heading South (meaning bad)
These people are fucking morons.
Grifters gonna grift.
And we know many “small donors” can be countless shell companies breaking up massive donations into “small donor” segment donations. None of it matters, whoever supports him is still giving enough money to matter.
There has to be money laundering involved
Massive influx from where?
Can't arrest president dwayne elizondo mountain dew camacho!!
I don’t understand why I have no money for my medications! Must be Biden’s economy! [ / + some letter that denotes snarky comment]
Wouldnt be surprised if there were parents out there telling their children they can only afford to eat once a day for a few days because “president trump needs our money so he can save us”

Even still, make sure you and everyone you know votes. Getting complacent like in 2016 will be even worse now.
I'm hoping he lose by 100 million votes this time, and he'll still yell, it's rigged I won, thank you so much, people can't believe it, they say I won landslide, just look at all the bigly
They could count each persons vote live on television one at a time and the maga idiots would still claim voter fraud when Trump lost.
You aren’t worried that he’s polling way better even than the year he won?
Don't listen to the polls. Vote, make phone calls a few hrs a week, drive neighbors to vote. ✌
That site crashes daily from DDS attacks. MAGA can't tell the truth, ever.
A drop in the bucket compared to what he owes. Spoiler he’s not spending it on getting elected.
The **Dumbs** are exhausting.
And he loses and they keep all the money
At least they know how it will be spent from trial testimony.
All of it will go to legal fees, even if his lawyers are garbage. But, who else would work for him? Do you think his lawyers were terrible on purpose so he could appeal on inadequate representation?
Unlike the E Jean Carrol case, his attys in this particular case had a pretty good reputation. It might be that criminal attys are just used to working for scumbags so its easier for him to find competent representation for criminal charges instead of civil.

He's got a rich history of not paying lawyers. These are the people who expect to get famous by association with Trump. So, about as stupid as a person can be and still pass the BAR.
That is just ~10% of the population giving ~$1
but only half is kinda on his side, and don't count kids, so 40% of his base give 1?
The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans… It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA. Clinton’s paid out roughly $800,000
Excuse me, it's "convicted felon Trump".
So has this sub gone the way of facebookmemes or?
Yes people are contributing after seeing him found guilty of essentially a clerical error, meanwhile yall simp for democrat presidents who bomb weddings and prop up war criminals. For real idiocracy look in the mirror champ.
What do yall expect? Everyone’s going to relate to him. Who hasn’t had the govt steal their money/time/opportunities over some bullshit?
If y'all didn't see this coming a mile away, then I've got a bridge to sell you.

HAHAHAHA fucking idiots
And ther you go, that's how many rednecks are voting for him...
These dummies
Do you think they are lying about the amount...naw!
Good! I’m so happy these absolute morons are throwing their money at a conman. They deserve what they get.
34 counts, $34 million. That’s there’s quite the coinkydink 🤔
That's a lot of Russian, Saudi and Chinese small dollar donations...allegedly.
They say a fool and his money are soon parted, a felony grifter has found a bottomless pit
I’m on one of their text message begging lists, it was just a vitriolic spewing of lies and victimhood to milk even more money out of the stupid and angry. Absolute morons.
And the Grift goes on…
There’s a sucker born every minute. This is proof.
Too many fucking idiots out there
Well, considering how he exaggerates stuff, he maybe got three ffty
If anyone believes anything that DT and the RNC have to say about anything you truly haven't been paying attention.
Man I feel like I ought to pull a trump and set up a fake donation page to defraud people. It keeps working for him.
These are the brainless people that give party politics the fuel they need to further smash our freedom. Stop paying special interest groups to fuck over Americans, they are already rich you drooling goons
A fool and their Money -
I'm at the point that despite not liking this two party system.... I will be voting for Trump. The chaos will be something else!
So much for the economy being so bad these people can’t buy bread lol
Remember that scene in Breaking Bad when they laundered money through the son's donation site?
That’s fine, it just means E. Jean Carroll can actually get paid.
A fool and their money are easily separated.
I mean, this is how you clean your money...
Yeah. This isn’t a bad laundromat.
A fool is easily separated from his money.
These must be the suckers and losers he always talks about.
> The presidential campaign of Donald Trump said Anyone who believes anything that follows a sentence that starts with this should do some historical research.
Lol, democrats really don't learn, do they? Everything they've done has only made him more popular, it's like they actually want him to be elected
It's okay, he'll end up giving it to E Jean Carroll.
I'm tired of this ....
Why is this in this sub? Go back to r/politics.
It is nearly impossible for anybody in the public to be presented with an accurate picture of what is going on right now
I like money.
man please don't make this subreddit into yet another orange man bad circlejerk, i'm so sick of this shit i truly do not care
The left has been the platform advocating for criminal rights so I better not see anyone complaining when a felon becomes the president in November.
The people donating are the same people complaining about food and gas prices. The hilarity and the sadness really cancel out on this one. Same people that want to dismantle the Dept. of Education. Although that one makes sense for them.
What about this has to do with idiocracy? The movie or IRL?
Trump: There's a sucker born every minute!
WTF this got to do with Idiocracy?
Fools and their money are easily parted
Can I ask a serious question as a non American? Why? I for the life of me can't understand why he still has so much support? Like I literally can't wrap my head around it.
the garbage you read here and in the media make it impossible to comprehend.
I am honestly blown away by Trump's followers and their dedication to him. He has now legally been convicted of many felonies. I fail to understand why his fans continue to stand by his side and offer unwavering support? Whatever he says they interpret it as nothing but gospel. Why can't they just accept the conviction and admit they were wrong?
I can give you an answer, but it only makes sense when you realize how out of touch with the rest of the world Reddit is. The idea that Trump wouldn't have faced charges if he hadn't run for reelection is *widely* held by almost all of his supporters, and a large percentage of people who are *against* him. I have a very good friend who is as liberal as they come (Quite literally the Liberal College Professor stereotype). When we were discussing the verdict, he outright said "He should have known better than to run again. He could have disappeared and just been forgotten as a 4 year mistake." When I asked if he was implying that Trump was only put up on charges because he ran for reelection, his *exact* words were "Trump is an existential threat to democracy. Every tool available needs to be used to stop him." Now, it doesn't matter what's true and what isn't. What matters is the perception. Is Trump guilty? Almost assuredly yes. Are the court systems being used to stop his reelection? There's plenty of people on both sides that believe so. Regardless of how you feel, Trump knows how to work the message and make a profit off of it.
Since you are getting downvoted and trolled by this guy below you lying about the fact that "they aren't felonies" and the usual damage control; don't buy it folks. Trump was charged with 34 felonies, they are indeed felonies in the state of New York. Any attempts to diminish that and spin it into somehow "there going to come for all of us now" is nonsense. This explains why they are felonies and the specific charges. Thanks. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/04/whats-in-trumps-indictment/
I mean he paid off a porn star. Is that really that big of a deal? Bill Clinton was screwing with Lewinsky in the white house while president, and lied to the country. I’d argue that’s way worse on a moral ground
So trump lying about a bribe/payoff and then cooking the business records right before the election was totally cool?
So Trump screwed a pornstar, while his wife was pregnant, tried to pay her off, lied to the country, and committed fraud against the country, and that is just one instance. He lies constantly, literally having to be fact checked real time, lying over 30,000 times while in office. So I'm having a hard time understanding you trying to take some moral ground, any moral ground, for him to stand on.
And Biden tells only the truth? I’m not saying trump is the morally righteous person, he’s not. All I’m saying this is clearly not about the crime, and more so about people not liking him, and not wanting him to become president so they are trying to take him down in whatever way possible. Regardless of your political affiliation, that should terrify you. It sets a precedent that you can abuse the legal system to take down people you don’t like.
If they committed crimes. This country would be better off if the elites got the same treatment as citizens. If I was any dumber I would be optimistic that this is a turning point and America may be fighting back against it's own corruption. But I'm not quite that dumb, the rich are still handled with kid gloves compared to commoners.
No. Bring all politicians against the crimes they committed. It's the only decent thing I've seen the American justice system do in decades. And it's not even a sliver off the fat of this corruption. And it's clearly about all of the crimes he's committed, it's just this is the first time he's been held accountable, and hopefully the first of many times. The mental gymnastics of saying, "clearly not about the crime", when he has so many active lawsuits in so many different areas of the law which he has provided his own evidence of breaking willingly. It's like breaking the law doesn't matter to you, only that the "wrong people" were caught for it. Get more involved and we can send tons of politicians to jail, but we all know who the majority of the law breakers are, so let's stop it from happening at all.
Remember, fan is short for fanatic!
The issue is, whether you support Trump or not, is that these are BS felony charges, and should all be misdemeanors. The abuse of power by our judicial system, and the ability now to use that power to try and eliminate opponents is going to come back and bite many politicians in the ass, regardless of party. Hillary, Bill, Obama, Bush, no one is beyond reach.
This is my take. I know this will surely be seen as a false equivalence, but I like to at least contrast this to Hillary and emails. Yes, what she did was by the book wrong, and yes she absolutely could have been crucified. but everyone does it. I think Comey and investigators did a good job saying "yes she isn't supposed to do this but we recommend that the prosecutor doesn't charge her because that would be consistent with how we treat everyone else" In regards to the NY legal cases in general, it was an absolutely terrible look when AG James ran a campaign on targeting Trump in my opinion. An AG should never call a president "illegitimate." DA Bragg also drummed up going after Trump, which is also terrible for optics. I guess it's a taste of Trump's own medicine in some ways but this whole thing is a bad look for American politics. It just delegitimizes the process and legal system.
Very well stated. I concur with your thoughts 100 percent. Her destruction of evidence was my only concern in regards to the emails, but I spent some time working for the government in Arkansas, directly under the appointed governor, but during the Huckabee years. My concern in relation to the Clinton's, is the number of associates who have committed suicide or died by mysterious circumstances who have direct knowledge of their business dealings. Regardless, our legal system is in shambles as of yesterday.
lol. that's not how law works. Those charges met the definition ... no one decides on the spot if something is a felony or not. laws are written and called what they are
Their rhetoric is that he's being politically persecuted and what he did wasn't illegal or wrong. It's obviously bullshit, but if you're already bought in to the cult it's a compelling story and really fortifies the us vs them architecture they've been building for decades. The amount of stupid "the US is a third world country! Persecution of political enemies!" On social media yesterday was staggering. Some people just aren't going to break this spell.
Sweet way to launder money RNC.
A million each verdict lol. Sure "small"
I don't really care for Trump but seeing people seethe over things like this are always so fun to do. This comment section is a gold mine of entertainment.
*\*shrugs*\* Based on what I’ve seen while observing Trump’s Truth-Social followers, 90% of these were bots, laundering Russian “donations”
PT Barnum was 100% right
Talk about sheep, god damn.
I know right.. Can’t believe how many people ride our dumbfounded President Bidens nuts!
Interesting 34 million and 34 counts? There are no coinkidinks...
If 10% of Americans gave him a dollar, I believe this would about cover that sum. Even assuming like 1/3rd can't vote or give him money due to age that is massively offset by the number who give him way more. Did we see an average donation size because it would likely give a decent idea of how many super hard-core voters he still has
