Full panic mode”: Experts say Trump mad he’s “finally being treated like any other defendant

26 comments

1. How would he behave if he was really treated like one of us common folk? He is still being catered to constantly.

2. I hate Trump and desperately want him to lose and be driven from American politics forever. Having said that, these Salon articles that are designed to make Dems feel good about bad things happening to Trump cause much more harm than good. First, they’re a waste of time. Second, they promote complacency. The situation right now is terrible. Biden’s numbers are tanking. Please, please, please, if you care about a good outcome in November more than you care about Reddit karma, don’t post this clickbait garbage from Salon

3. He would be in jail right now had that been the case, so I’ll believe it when I see it.

4. LOL! He’s been given so much preferential treatment it’s ridiculous. Same as anyone else my ass. These “experts” need to spend more time in a courtroom.

5. He’s not.

   Any “other defendant’ would go to jail for 10 contempt of court charges.
   The judge even stated that he’d rather not send a candidate who could be the next president in jail.

6. Except he’s really not being treated like any other defendant. Maybe similar to other *rich* defendants, but broke folks don’t have his experience with the legal system

7. Trump mad. Boo hoo.

8. He isn’t though. He’s mad despite getting special treatment

9. That’s because he is any other defendant right now he’s just citizen Trump he’s no president!!

10. Trump obviously thinks he’s above the law; and it appears that he’s been treated in the past, like he is!

11. And he still ISNT being treated like any other defendant. He’s still getting INFINITELY BETTER treatment than the average citizen and far better treatment than any other politician/rich fuck.

12. No he isn’t because the cops haven’t shot him.

13. If he was being treated like a regular defendant he would be cooling his heels in a jail cell because of his numerous bail violations. He is also a huge flight risk.

14. Is he though? In reality, if I had taken top-secret documents and refused to give them back I would be in prison. I wouldn’t get several chances after repeatedly violating court orders either. Anyone of us would be behind bars for doing half the shit he gets away with.

15. Except he hasn’t been. He has breached the gag order numerous times. I’m pretty sure he still is even though they threatened to jail him. But Trump is smart enough to know they are toothless when it comes to anyone with power.

16. Who exactly are the experts whenever they say “experts say…”?

    The guy hasn’t been treated like an average defendant at all during any of his trials.

17. Oh, bullshit. Any other defendant doesn’t walk free after being held in contempt of court a dozen times.

18. No he’s not, many are in jail during proceedings, which if he was, maybe he wouldn’t delay so much.

19. So he’s in jail now? Anyone else would be in jail already.

    Edit: he’s complaining about prosecutors going last, what a joke. He whines about the littlest things.

20. He hasn’t been treated like us plebs…ever! He’s not struggled to make ends meet, but he has conned, screwed and fucked over so goddamned many people in his time that all we ever wanted was for him to face the same exact thing the other 330,000,000 of us face every fucking day… this asshole deserves to spend time thinking about how many lives he’s wasted, how many people he put on the streets and how many died at his hands due to pure, unadulterated incompetency.

21. When you’ve been privileged since you were in diapers, it feels like you’re being picked on when you finally get treated like everybody else. LOCK HIM UP!

22. I’ll believe he’s in ‘full panic mode’ when

    1. He disappears from view

    and

    2. He re-appears in a non-extraditable foreign country

23. I really hate articles like this. “Experts say” doesn’t actually mean he is panicking that’s just what they think which doesn’t mean anything. Also he isn’t being treated like any other defendant he’s literally doing basically whatever he wants and only recently started somewhat obeying the gag order for his hush money trial.

24. About time

25. If he was being treated like any other defendant, his ass would be sitting in jail for contempt. 

26. If only that were true…
