What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

The GOP taking on Taylor Swift.

Sweet lord, do they know what they've released?

Trump Lawyers know this hasn't a hope. If they believed that there was a vast conspiracy to steal the election and now a vast conspiracy to politicising the DOJ etc to to unconstitutionally silence, why to they think if they found zero evidence of the first conspiracy are they somehow going to find evidence of the second?

This isn't aimed at getting Trump off, it is aimed at his supporters. Just like Jan 6th was a result of Trump getting his supporters wound up as they were sure he had been robbed, Trump is doing exactly the same here. Legally he hasn't a leg to stand on, so the only alternative is to use force. Not himself obviously, as he doesn't have control of the military atm, but by winding his supporters up such that they refuse to accept the results of any law case.

His plan is that the groundswell, and threat of violence, will mean he can run for POTUS despite his numerous charges, indictments and probable judgements, and by running he has a chance to win and by winning he has a chance to pardon himself. It is the only avenue available to him and everything he does, and says, he based on furthering that plan.

Trump 20 seconds after being told not to break any laws

This is why Tubberville blocking military promotions is such a bad thing MAGA will try and promote sympathetic people instead.

both sides nonsense. One has nearly 100 criminal charges pending and is ranting and raving about cancer-causing whale-crazing windmills. The other is 3 old years older, and sane.

NEW YORK (AP) — Judge finds Donald Trump committed fraud with financial statements that exaggerated his wealth, value of his assets.

While I agree that both are getting too old (and I can say this with some authority), Biden seems to be fine mentally. Trump hasn't been fit mentally for around 77 years. Biden's speech isn't the best but that doesn't make him mentally unfit, the UN didn't think so anyway, the same body of people who laughed at Trump.

For a man who is 80 years of age and appears to be physically very active and he is probably on the job 16 hours a day in one of if not the most stressful job in the world along with being president of America along with being considered the leader of the free world.

He is doing a pretty good job.

A few tied speeches after is nothing really it’s the work he is doing before he gives the speeches that’s the important part.

While term limits are definitely something that should be looked into with regards to politics in particular, the only people who continuously bang on about Biden's age are Trumptards who are incapable of understanding that their golden idol is just a few years younger and that their constant bleating about that only makes them look ridiculous.

Is Biden too old? He probably is. But so it Trump.

The difference is one is currently doing a relatively decent job, the other was nothing short of a fat disaster.

Absolutely. Trump seemed to think that he was running against George Bush Jr in the Republican primary in 2016, but I doubt that's getting much coverage in right-wing circles. There's few worse things in 2023 than a US Republican, honest to God.

Looks like New York is doing a good job at draining the swamp.

Republicans would strongly disagree and hold the same arguments against Biden.

Its like screaming at the TV that United are better than City.

Of course they are...if you're a United fan.

The likelihood is Trump will beat Biden.

City beat United.

Handling it like a champ.

tears streaming down his face

blood from his wherever

This legal question is not going to jury trial because of the empirical strength of the evidence and the NY Martin Act doesn't require a finding of mens rea for the fraud charges, just proof of the fraud on the books.

The lawyers' arguments seemed to have been written by Trump himself.

The BBC mentioned that his lawyers had argued that the loans hadn't harmed anyone and had happened a long time ago.

My favourite though was this:

"But Trump attorney Christopher Kise argued doing so showed that Mr Trump was an "investment genius" and "a master at finding value where others see nothing"."

A lot of people saw the NY case as tangentional and of no great importance. Turns out that LJ may put Trump Org out of business. It will at least considerably handicap him.
