He just can’t stop flapping his Orange lips.
Man, the lead singer for IDLES has been crazy busy lately
It’s always fun when one Trump press statement can be debunked and contradicted by another.
Listen it’s an easy mistake to make. These reporters suffer from a lack of knowledge.
What REALLY happened was I declassified them with my mind before I ~~stole~~ took them out of the Whitehouse.
Yep, the only thing that seems to be stopping just a quick conviction is his pushing of full immunity. Once the Supreme Court rules one way or another things may go fast in Florida.
I can’t tell you the number of people who do this kind of crap in my life. Just make stuff up based off of their fear induced re-memory. And then lie about it to protect their ego. and accuse you of doing what they’re actually doing, projecting onto their opponent, and diverting a conversation away from themselves
Can someone provide context as to how or why this would strengthen Smith’s case? I didn’t see anything in the article that hasn’t been said by Trump previously.
The root of Trump’s problems is that he never really understood the difference between being a present day President and a medieval King
Criminal his entire life! Vote blue! We don’t need this 🤡 in the White House!
If you let Donald Trump talk long enough I feel like he would claim he single-handedly crucified Jesus.
I think the presidency was his for the taking in Nov 2020 but he simply COULD NOT SHUT THE F*CK UP. (Thank God for that.)
He’s so blissfully unaware that he’s often his own worst enemy at many times.
But keep talking, Donny. I’m here to laugh at you.
If you value your freedom you’ll vote for Biden, it’s really that simple.
Donald Trump is always going to be Donald Trump’s worst enemy.
> “First of all, I didn’t have to hand them over,” Trump said bluntly. “But second of all, I would have done that. We were talking, and then all of a sudden they raided Mar-a-Lago.”
We know this is an outright lie. Trump agreed to hand over the classified documents, and in that agreement Trump agreed to have his lawyer go through *all his documents* and pull out the classified one. Then Trump hid boxes of documents from his own lawyer. And it was after that when Mar-A-Lago was raided.
Honestly, this case is the most damaging to Trump and if it went to trial before the election, it would ensure his defeat. But once again Trump got lucky and drew a favourable judge who seems to have zero interest in going to trial in 2024
He didn’t say anything he hasn’t already said many times. 🤷🏻♂️
New Republic really is the HuffPost of Newsweeks.
Ah, the good ole “admit to the crime and then lie about the circumstances that led to it” trick.
>“But second of all, I would have done that. We were talking, and then all of a sudden they raided Mar-a-Lago.”
February 2021: NARA asks Trump to return Presidential records
May 2021: NARA knows they are still missing some documents
June 2021: NARA tells a Trump lawyer to send them certain specific documents they know Trump to be in possession of
January 2022: Trump actually returns various boxes to NARA (including some that contained highly sensitive national security documents). Subsequent to this, Trump stated that everything requested by NARA had been returned, but his lawyer did not know if that was true.
Feb 2022: NARA sends criminal referral to the DOJ
April 2022: DOJ opens a criminal investigation
May 2022: DOJ issues subpoena to Trump
June 2022: Boxes are moved around, both within MAL and from MAL (known from testimony and security footage). DOJ meets at MAL and *some* classified material is given to them. Trump’s custodian of records gives the DOJ a signed declaration stating that all classified material has been returned. FBI agents see additional boxes in storage but are not allowed to look at them.
Late June/July 2022: FBI obtains security footage of and around the storage room. It includes Nauta moving the boxes.
August 8, 2022: FBI carry out search warrant of MAL.
He’s a danger to national security. He’s a rapist. He spent time on Epstein’s Pedo Island where he raped, beat, and threatened at least one of the underage girls. He’s a criminal fraudster. He’s a known liar. He stokes hatred at every opportunity. He can’t shut his mouth even when it would be in his best interest. He’s massively incompetent in his appointments, by his own admission. He constantly brown noses Putin and will and probably already has happily sold American security secrets to gain favor. He has no religious convictions anyone can detect and regularly mocks evangelicals. He mocks and denigrates military service. His patriotism is flag humping PR nonsense.
What the hell is the appeal in that fucking train wreck going back to the White House? Are they cheering for the collapse of America?
I’ll save you a read: there is nothing new or interesting in this click bait article.
Other famous doubling down on accusations that could have been but weren’t.
Yes I killed Nicole and her boyfriend. I had every right to! OJ
Yes I made millions selling coke illegally officer. I’m trying to make billions. Pablo Escobar.
Damn right I don’t pay any required taxes judge. Al Capone.
We have a caller here on the Larry king show that claims to be the unabomber. Hi. I’m Ted Kaczynski. I’m mailing all those bombs as is my god given right. I’m living in a shack in Montana as is also my right. Unabomber. Ted kaczynski
No one “raided” Mar a Lago. A lawfully issued search warrant was executed.
PSA for those who don’t know: the FBI did not “raid” Mar-a- lago, they executed a valid search pursuant to a warrant.
The more you know…
That he can use when the trial starts in 2097.
“First of all, I didn’t have to hand them over,” Trump said bluntly. “But second of all, I would have done that. We were talking, and then all of a sudden they raided Mar-a-Lago.”
Oh, yeah, “suddenly.” The FBI met with Trump’s associates MULTIPLE times over numerous MONTHS and even warned them, if you don’t return them by [insert date], we’re coming to get them.
But none of these facts play into their persecuted, victim story line.
Ah I see he drank his dumfuk juice today.
I strongly suspect Trump took these materials at Putin’s request and made them available to Russian agents for copying and theft. Trump is already making a case the records were his own property to keep or give away to anyone he chose.
Blabbering Donald Trump blabbering again . I’m shocked, shocked I tell you it’s like I stuck my hand in the outlet shock to the core.
trump can declassify documents just by thinking about them.
That was a joke, right? Trump and think in the same sentence.
mmmphff 🤣
I misread it as a “blubbering” Donald Trump & thought he had a new tactic.
I mean he’s lying to Laura Ingraham’s face and she doesn’t seem to mind.
Trump just doesn’t get it, he thinks if he says stuff enough, no matter how wrong it is, it will be true.
This might work with his cult, but not work with the court system.
Not only that, he’s just adding more evidence for Jack Smith case.
All of these interviews on video will be played for the jury..
What a tangerine moron…
Donald is going to do what Donald has always done.
Dig a big deep hole for himself
listening to him say that the Presidential Records Act says that he can do “whatever he wants” is so infuriating.
> In 1978, Congress passed the Presidential Records Act (PRA), which states that any records created or received by the President as part of his constitutional, statutory, or ceremonial duties are the property of the United States government and will be managed by NARA at the end of the administration.
Trump must have saw NARA and thought it said MARA-lago
> The Presidential Records Act (PRA) changed the legal status of Presidential and Vice Presidential materials. **Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President**.
I wish the election can just happen already and skip all the coming BS from the trump camp. My real concern is the lasting impact trump will have on the R party. They have turned into an anti-american party, floating morally corrupt and empty tag lines. It’s not even conservative ideology anymore, it’s conspiracy theory and white christian nationalist party. And people *buy* it. Very concerning.
Treasonous trump should be sitting in a prison cell awaiting trial just like all the others that stole classified documents and national security secrets he is a clear and present danger to national security and democracy I would not put it past him giving the national security secrets to Russia China North Korea and or any nation that will help him get back in the White House or pay for the information remember the Chinese spy caught going in and out of Mara Largo with recording devices there was even documents in the bathroom with a convenient copy machine in there too to make it easy to copy documents while you take care of business
Yet, he is still walking free allowed to do it. Let me know if we are serious as a country to put this pile of garbage Tangerine Palatine in prison where he belongs. We had all this time since January 2021 and still dealing with this.
Trump is his own worst enemy and always has been. He’s incapable of not spewing shit every time his mouth opens. Unfortunately for him, a lot of said shit dribbles onto his own shirt.
How to win a case against Trump – point a camera at him and just let him talk.
