One of my parents got my age wrong last year. It happens all the time.
Whilst there are many legitimate reasons to criticize Trump, to bring that up to score a political point is laughable.
Grand, we look forward to your many umprompted criticisms of Trump then. They should be fairly rapid in coming eh? And we shouldn't have to hunt for them?
Is T's strategy to win the election and make the cases go away? (plus delaying the cases till after the election)
Discrediting /disrupting the judicial system may help him to increase his vote?
Not taking the stand after being goaded by SD does not help, I'd say.
Not sure if he can get away with blatant nepotism,either.
Barron as the RNC delegate is (likely) an un-compensated volunteer thing, so nepotism really doesn't matter. He's a convention delegate. yawn
As for the cases going away, the current one is state level, even if reelected the case goes on, as he has no authority over it.
Such is not the case with the 2 Jack Smith cases, the documents case and the insurrection case. Both are federal. The Georgia case is state level as well.
At 18 of all ages, that defense is laughable. Tiny obviously can't immediately recall that his son had an 18th birthday party in the last year.
yeah, what kind of clown doesn’t know their son is 18.
It’s a momentous thing.
Did Donald go to the party?
He lost count of how many world wars there have been, suggested that people injected bleach and confused Biden with Obama. I'd be surprised if he knew his son's name, honestly.
Would he remember if he did?
To be fair - 18 is not that big a deal in the US.
16 and 21 are the higher profile birthdays - You can get your driving licence at 16 and you can drink at 21.
At 18 , you get to vote and join the army - Not things most 18 year olds are getting excited about.
But yeah.. A parent not knowing how old their child is when they are still in school etc. is pretty damn poor all the same.
His Uncle Eric was the same - variously described him as being 14,15 and 16 (when he was actually 17) when bitching about the FBI searching Mar-a-Lago claiming that the kid was "traumatised" by it..
Bet he remembers when Ivanka turned 18….
You bet he did. Do you think he was going miss that opportunity?
His pal Epstein would be turning in his grave if Trump didn't attend an 18th birthday party when possible.
Bet he was counting down the days.
In related news, TFG consigliere and 'worst WH Chief Of Staff ever,' notorious bigot Steve Bannon just had his appeal(s) rejected in his 'ignore the congressional subpoena' case. Darn but these cases take such a long time to resolve:

Trump is a bit like Will from About a Boy:
.....
The poor cretin

He's obviously looking for the jail time at this stage and figures the time spent in prison would be worth the martyrdom.
Why is it only 4 months? He played a central role in legitimising Trump's nonsense.
"For the high crime of trying to overturn American democracy, I sentence you to…. eh, a few months in prison? Maybe reduced time for good behaviour?"
Trump, Bannon and the rest,
They#'re absolutely laughing at the law.
I'm pretty sure I'd get more than that for throwing an egg at the statue of Cromwell outside Parliament, honestly.
That's not what the sentence is for to be fair.
because that’s always been the calculation, angling for far lighter contempt charges than admit to investigators why yes I helped orchestrate a heinous coup attempt.
You're just a dirty peasant though, not a "Major Political Figure™". All this nonsense has exposed how much of a two-tiered justice system exists in the US.
If only trump's father had pulled out..…
if true it’s a wise protective move by his mama bear, becoming a Florida delegate would make Barron free game politically, whereas for his fathers entire political career to date he’s enjoyed the protection of a basic civility afforded to a politicians kids who aren’t themselves involved in any politics.
