Cool.
I hear the DC jail cells are quite comfortable according to the chuds he sent to kill the VP and other congress critters.

He's testing to see how far he can push. But he's going to find out Jack Smith pushes back a hell of a lot harder.
I fucking love that guy. As an aspirational lawyer, what a role model!
Trump will continue to play grab ass with the fuck-around gang until he finds the exact line in the sand that guarantees he gets held in pre-trial detention. If he gets thrown in the slammer while awaiting trial he will claim he is a political prisoner, and if they don't stick him there he will do everything in his power to commit soft-treason through his cult. Everything surrounding Trump is, and always has been a lose/lose situation for this country.
Until he is made to suffer serious consequences for his violent petulence and penchant for authoritarianism things will never move forward in any meaningful way. He is a distraction that, when all is said and done, will have stagnated the progress of this country for a decade at minimum.
Edit: Accidentally a word
Everything surrounding Trump is, and always has been a lose/lose situation for this country.
It's like the whole US is scared of a scar so they keep delaying the op to get the tumor out.
I know that Jack Smith, and Fanni Willis, are too professional to be bothered by such inflammatory remarks, but it can’t be a smart move to attack the people who are writing indictments. Not all the donations in the world can make up for what he will face in prison.
While I really REALLY hope he doesn't weasel himself out of this, our justice system highly favors people with money to pay for crimes to go away.
Trump’s old buddy Jeff Epstein was successful using that method… until he wasn’t.
I wonder when the big republican donors will give up throwing money at the problem. A twice impeached, twice loser of the general election, 3 indictments so far and DeSantis fighting shadows and losing. I'd just save my money for the midterms
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the early voting state of New Hampshire, Trump assailed Smith as a “thug prosecutor” and a “deranged guy” a week after being indicted on felony charges for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The former president lobbed the insults at Smith just days after the Department of Justice asked a judge to approve a protective order stopping Trump from publicly disclosing evidence.
In the four-count indictment filed against Trump last week, the Justice Department accused him of orchestrating a scheme to block the peaceful transfer of power.
He was told by multiple people in trusted positions that his claims were false, prosecutors said, but he spread them anyway to sow public mistrust about the election.
Trump, who is also facing charges in Florida and New York, is gearing up for a possible fourth indictment, in a case out of Fulton County, Georgia, over alleged efforts by him and his allies to illegally meddle in the 2020 election in that state.
Trump, who has portrayed the investigations as politically motivated, said they are forcing him “to spend time and money away from the campaign trail in order to fight bogus made-up accusations and charges.”
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Good bot
He's just doing what he always does: talk as much trash about how he's not afraid and harassing the opposition, but I guarantee that if the order goes through, he'll get very vague very fast. Bullies are always a bunch of talk until the real muscle comes in.
He knows that he's not going to see consequences no matter what he does.
Yep, until something actually happens he will continue to do this
I've seen nothing to indicate that he will ever encounter consequences.
“I believe the preside has learned his lesson” -wise words from a stupid woman
+nt
So he's gonna keep intimidating witnesses and the judge and prosecution. Great. If he was poor and trying this shit he'd be locked up yesterday.
He would have been locked up on Jan 6th.
The two-tiered justice system is a freaking joke. I was taught my entire life that we are all equal under the law (yeah, I know). Anyone else, not rich/white, would be behind bars already awaiting his trial. trump just continuing to damage the country.
Trump jail any% speedrun, lets gooooooo
Government: "Hey, Trump wants to try this case in the media, which will negatively impact the ability of the court to maintain a fair trial. This is one of the reasons that court should issue a protective order."
Trump: "THAT'S RIGHT, I'M DOING IT RIGHT NOW!"
keep talkin fucko, gonna dare the wrong judge, and then there'll be something none of us every seen before
Trump jail any% speedrun, lets goooooo
I mean, if he WANTS to continue violating release orders...
“That’s what they’re doing. ‘I’m sorry, I won’t be able to go to Iowa today. I won’t be able to go to New Hampshire today,’” he said. “Because I’m sitting in a courtroom on bull—-.”
The crowd cheered and broke into chants of “bull——!”
They’re caracitures of themselves at this point.
reminds me of that Ken Patti twitter post:
I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Trump rallies and then asked it to write a Trump rally of its own. Here is the first page.
