Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

Yes ,they should not have gone after him with this stupid case just before the election, polls will be out soon, so we will see .

Biden has tried the same delays, he's up next week, name one potential candidate that wouldn't delay ,before an election, night.

up next week for what? He hasn’t been indicted with anything.

The gulf in class and wit from MTG and AOC is something to behold...

Woke up this morning to this wonderful news, the long weekend just got better.

So tiny is now a convicted felon and rapist, please let's have the N word tape released, so we can add confirmed racist.

Anyone with half a brain knew this ridiculous man child was never fit to be POTUS.

Let the MAGA tears flow long and deep today.

I suppose he is finally now a man of conviction.

37.7% voted for Trump in Manhatten in 2020. Yet not one juror voted not guilty on any charge.

This view that everyone hates Trump in NY is rubbish. Pushed by Trump. You should looks at the facts before repeating his propaganda.

"He will clean up the corrupt justice system and media."

It's Biden's fault.

It's the media's fault.

It's the justice system's fault.

Nothing to do with him, eh?

If he had of admitted to ****ing a porn star, or not ****ed her in the first place while his 3rd wife was at home with his new born, or paid her out of his own pocket, or not shafted Cohen, or plead guilty, he wouldn't be in this mess.

He had a million off ramps here. He took none.

But sure, he's the innocent party here.

What would he be found guilty of if he carried out the exact same assault in New York state today? Rape. He's a rapist. And well you know it.

One that we get dragged up, on a regular basis. But, he's now the convicted former guy (CFG?)

Ehh. ConvictTrump works for me. What a great day for Justice, but a day with some sadness, too. No one in 2016 who voted for this excrement should be surprised by this verdict. When someone tells you the truth about themselves, believe it. The first time. ConvictTrump is the perfect example.

Trump literally spent the length of the court case falling asleep. What exactly was the rigging last time round? What did he clean up last time? And a president doing something about the media is more authoritarian than anything else. So you like state control of all outlets like in Russia or Hungary?

I read somewhere on a news website yesterday (sorry I don’t have the link) that in a survey, 1 in 4 republican voters said that if found guilty they wouldn’t vote for Trump. Independents also expressed a significant % saying they wouldn’t vote if he were found guilty.

OK, so that’s just one poll - fair enough. But what struck me when watching his rant post trial, is that his standard “they’re all out to get me” rant is just sounding tired at this stage. When he won in 2016, his approach was very new and sounded very fresh and different -doesn’t matter if you agreed with it or not- it worked, that’s all that counts- it doesn’t sound different anymore - I’m not convinced Trumps repeated persecution complex ramblings are getting through - in addition, the very conservative and religious will be in a bit of a quandary given this conviction - some will convince themselves it’s all a conspiracy (and indeed maybe it is who knows) - but I don’t think all will.

The conviction has hurt his voting numbers - I think that’s going to be clear- but given the weakness of his opponent, it’s not at all certain that he’ll lose either.

Vonshitzin pants guilty…sales of those poonami-proof nappies will go through the roof!

A potential summer of Riots is better than a potential 4 more years of Trump as president and the potential that he will use that time to overthrow democracy

no point in fining him. A couple of months pick up litter around the streets of New York maybe.

Like Beau said, and Overheal quoted earlier in either this thread or its clone thread, this is history.

The Mafia hasn't gone away, it's just CFTrump acts like a comic-opera mafia don; real mafiosi don't behave like he does.

Basically, he's not a mafiosi, but he plays one on TV.
