  1. >”Now, we have Merchan, who is not allowing me to talk, thereby violating the Law and the Constitution, all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with – How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it, and all of the rest of them also! If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the ‘clink’ for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR,” the former president wrote.

    I could be alone but since he only passed away 11 years ago, I would say it’s appropriate to call Nelson Mandela a “Modern Day Nelson Mandela.” Not to mention: as if Mandela would support, or even condone, the bigotry Donald and his ilk spread; he stood in stark contrast to that, and I would point to one of my favorite Mandela quotes:

    >“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

  3. Hey South Africa, you still got that old cell available?

    And it’s only fair that you take Trump, we took Musk.

  5. No way he thought that up on his own? Who fed him this?

  6. I guess Mandela must have pooped his pants as a kid, so they have that in common.

  7. I’m genuinely surprised he would compare himself positively to a black man

  9. > Mandela was an anti-apartheid revolutionary and political leader, as well as a philanthropist with an abiding love for children.

  10. Mandela spent 27 years in prison before becoming president of his country. Trump was already president, the only thing missing is prison to compare himself with Mandela. I’m waiting

  11. Muntz. Nelson Muntz. Silly old man gets names mixed up again..

  12. Let’s put him in a South American prison. Packed in a cell with 40 other prisoners. They would love his doughy ass.

  15. He also compared himself to Jesus Christ. The sad part is, so many people just believe this BS.

  16. It sparks ridicule because it’s ridiculous. It’s also absurd that he even go there. Especially given the nature of Mandela’s imprisonment. It’s Trump who is quoted as calling Mandela a “terrible leader” in 2020.

  17. The Bloviator who Occupied the White House (& Sexual Assaulter) is sick, misguided and just plain loony toons nuts.

  18. Jesus and now Mandela. Two people that Trump knows nothing about. His gargantuan sense of self entitlement is well intact but his dementia riddled brain is turning to goo.

  21. I mean he’s compared himself to Jesus Christ on several occasions so Nelson Mandela is a step down for him really.

  22. Why do you think he does this crap?

    All news media: OUR TOP STORY TODAY…

  24. I can think of a better dictator that he compares to! A German one from the 40s.

  25. Has Melania even burnt anyone alive with flaming tires?!

  26. That PedoFucker shouldn’t compare himself to Mandela. PedoFucker tRump is the lowest of losers and will NEVER BE ANYTHING ELSE.

  27. “I’ve been gagged! I’m not being allowed to speak!” bellows the moron, as the media rushes to spread his words as far and wide as they possibly can.

    If only this one thing he said was true: that Donald Trump was being prevented from talking. Imagine how wonderful that silence would be, like a cool breeze through an open window.

    Alas, it’s just another lie and his obtuse, brain-meltingly dumb words continue to be forcefully ramrodded into our ear holes without our consent.

  28. He appears to be aware that he is going to prison, but doesn’t seem to realize that he will die there.

    America, let’s help him realize this.
