Live:Trump brands hush money trial an ‘assault on America’ arrives in court on historic day

[Social Media]

 

Trump is heading into the courtroom. Donald Trump stopped in the hallway outside of the courtroom to rail against the case he faces today.

 

The former president called it an “assault on America” and yet again falsely accused President Joe Biden of orchestrating the charges.

He then entered the courtroom and took his seat.

The people who told you this day would never come are now busy telling you he’s going to be acquitted.

 

 

[Chomper Higgot]

He has the look of a man sucking on the taste of aluminum.

 

 

[bendejo]

Not looking good in the above vid, Donnie.   Looks like he just rolled out of bed.  And he's either reciting his spiel or reading from a prompter. 

 

They should shut down that fenced-in stage area, where he knows the cameras are awaiting him; maybe it'll be better for all involved, he'd dodge another opportunity to make a fool of himself.

A falsely-accused man does not behave like this way, he would feel confident that the truth will prevail, the truth will set him free, etc. (Yes, for women as well, of course.)  This behavior by him and his has been evident since Election day 2016. 

I have the impression that Melania's sex life and his has nothing to do with each other (just like when the Clintons were in the WH).  I suspect Kari Lake, who spent a bit of time at MAL recently, did him a few favors to gain favor (*wink*): birds of a feather.

I am in total agreement with you with this caveat melanias reputation is being dragged through the sewer she gives me the impression of a shrewd vain vicious  cold woman she won’t take kindly to having her pride hurt in this way……trump would be well advised to post a guard when he sleeps lol 😂 he could lose his…….

Before beginning the arduous process of choosing a jury for the landmark trial — on allegations that Mr. Trump falsified documents to cover up a sex scandal involving a porn star — the judge overseeing the case once again declined to step aside, rejecting Mr. Trump’s latest effort to oust him.

 

But there was also a ruling that favored the former president: The judge, Juan M. Merchan, rejected a request by prosecutors to introduce accusations of sexual assault that women lodged against Mr. Trump years ago, calling them “rumors” and “complete gossip.”

Another example of the judge being fair and balanced.

 

Contrary to what Trump and his supporters would have us believe.

I feel sorry for Barron as he is graduating today while the (ah) dad is on trial for his mother getting cheated on as witnessed by all of America

What kind of dad to use his son graduation as a prop to tell a lie that the Judge has denied his request to attend Barron’s graduation on may 17. The judge has not decided on his plea to attend the graduation. Terrible dad to drag his son into the political fray.

I appreciate the way the judge said, in not so many words, that if he's a good boy he just might grant it.

Who believes a word from a habitual liar like Trump? Right. MAGA nuts.

Boo hoo hoo. By any other name Trump is being targeted for paying off some hooker. Guess half of Washington DC. Too

The constant “if we can’t get him on this we’ll try and get him on something else “ only makes Trump stronger in the minds of the American people.  Keep it up!  You’re making him the next President.

 

I’ll give the liberal nutters the credit they deserved.

The ‘putting a crook on trial for his crimes committed in the bright light of day makes him stronger’ hogwash.

To be honest  I must admit it's a bit too easy to get Trump, considering all the opportunities created by the Conald himself.

It’s ironic that the man who coined the phrase “Sleepy Joe” is reportedly falling asleep at his own felony trial…

It’s not iconic, it’s an example of Trump projection, accusing Biden of his own failings.

 

There are very many other examples.

 

 

[Roo Island]

Wasn't it MAGA nuts who attacked the capital? I'd call that an assaut on America.

He's an easy target, considering the crimes he's committed. Several of which have already resulted in convictions.

 

Keep up!

Only 1 in 3 US adults think Trump acted illegally in New York hush money case, AP-NORC poll shows

Updated 11:02 AM GMT+7, April 16, 2024

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The first criminal trial facing former President Donald Trump is also the one in which Americans are least convinced he committed a crime, a new AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds.

 

Only about one-third of U.S. adults say Trump did something illegal in the hush money case for which jury selection began Monday, while close to half think he did something illegal in the other three criminal cases pending against him. And they’re fairly skeptical that Trump is getting a fair shake from the prosecutors in the case — or that the judge and jurors can be impartial in cases involving him.

Dreaming. Latest polls show a close race. Which could change dramatically if more convictions occur.

Can any of Trump’s supporters, be they foreign or domestic, please explain how putting Trump on trial is an ‘assault on America’?

 

America is a nation of laws, one law for everyone and a Constitution that provides rights to everyone.

 

Trump is accused of crimes, he’s had his Constitutional right to not be indicted other than by Grand Jury, he’d had his Constitutional right to legal representation, his Constitutional right to see the evidence against him and he’s is now being afforded his Constitutional right to a trial in open court and the judgment of his peers.

 

It’s all an example of just how justice is served in America under the laws and Constitution.

 

It’s as American as apple pie.

It seems that US Law condones using political campaign funds to selectively pay legal fees just so long as you have honest book keepers. If it  were not so Trump would long have been evicted pending foreclosure on near all properties associated with his tarnished crown.

His  gullible sycophantic fans will never reap expected rewards . Quite the opposite more likely.

Let the US have him. Just don't whine when the rest of the  real world spits the dummy  well and proper .
