Supreme Court to rule on Trump presidency bid as election campaigns heat up

Three years ago today insurrectionists or Patriots it depends who you ask but on one thing this year’s presidential contenders are agreed who returns to the White House is one of the biggest Trials of American democracy since the country was born Donald Trump accused of stoking the crowds who stormed the capital is

Campaigning in Iowa ahead of the Republican primary and using trademark trumpisms went on the attack our country’s going to hell you don’t mind me using that horrible word don’t you I use that word because our country’s really in trouble it’s in trouble like it’s never been before in my opinion

Define hell though because Joe Biden describes these scenes very differently a wouldbe revolution that was most certainly televised we saw it with our own eyes Trump’s mob wasn’t a peaceful protest it was a violent assault they were insurrectionists not Patriots political violence is never ever acceptable in the United States

Political system never never never it has no place in a democracy and so to the insurrectionist charge sheet you fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore Trump’s now been prevented from appearing on the primary ballot in two states with the Supreme

Court to decide he’s facing several criminal invest instigations including election interference and accused of paying hush money to a porn star defaming a woman who says he raped her and inflating the value of his businesses to get favorable loans and interest rates though the more indictments Trump attracts the bigger

His lead in the polls to the Maga crowd it’s Biden who’s a threat to democracy they’re afraid that he is going to win this time because people are going to flood the poll so how do you stop stop that well you try to get him off the ballot you try all these different

Things you try to have these frivolous lawsuits against him and and it’s all political base I profoundly accept this nomination for president of the United States another Republican Presidential nomination is seemingly inevitable but just in case Trump wants to put off any lawsuits till after the election with

Only a handful of Republican outliers daring to voice concer his efforts at delay are an attempt to suppress the evidence to prevent the American people from seeing it before they go to the polls president Trump or President Biden 2024 make no mistake there will be fireworks well earlier I spoke to the

Pollster Jan S she tracks National political opinion but also pays particular attention to how candidates are doing in Iowa from her base in De Mo I asked her how Donald Trump is performing among Republican caucus goers in her State he’s not only ahead in the polls he he got 51% of First Choice

Votes in our December poll but also the the likely caucus goers were saying that his legal troubles were not a barrier to him being able to defeat Joe Biden or the Democratic nominee what is it then that makes this W offer Ducks back for Republican voters did they just see all

This this slew of legal issues simply as some democratic conspiracy maybe that’s possible I think the clue we get from our poll is that we put some statements in the poll that Donald Trump has uttered things that were designed to be perhaps um uncomfortable so about massive deportations of immigrants that

Immigrants are poisoning the blood the the things you’ve heard before and for for most of the eight statements we tested these likely GOP cockus scers said though him saying those things made them more likely to support him and yet we speak three years to the day since

The storming of the capital in which Donald Trump is arguably implicated seriously legally just doesn’t matter I observed a focus group just the other day where people were were finding ways to take Trump off the hook for that that he wasn’t really the one who started it

He wasn’t the one that was really in the crowd he did say be peaceful they they have a lot of ways of of separating him from that event that in their mind is is a logical way to think about it in terms of the Swing voters vital to to this

Election across the board and and the general election of course between Democrats and Republicans if there is a conviction down the line does that really change things radically I would say for this is a speculation but data driven that what we see in terms of the solid support for Trump a conviction

Might only strengthen his hand and I know that sounds counterintuitive but we found that even after indictments came down the Trump standing increased right let’s blow this open to the big one on the general election Joe Biden he has managed to support Ukraine with global support without starting Third World War

The US economy is in pretty good shape America’s just passed most far-reaching environmental laws in its history and yet he’s not cutting through with people is he particularly younger voters I I think that Joe Biden is an unpopular president and so that shadow that cloud hangs over everything I think

It’s a matter of an overall displeasure with Joe Biden his favorable numbers are low his approval ratings are low therefore everything that he might be doing is colored by that thanks very much indeed for your time and appreciate it my pleasure thank you

It is exactly three years since Donald Trump’s supporters attacked the US Capitol, trying to stop Congress certifying Joe Biden’s election victory.

Now the Supreme Court says it will decide whether the former president can be removed from this year’s ballot for trying to overturn that result.

Both men are ramping up their re-election campaigns. Biden with a speech in Pennsylvania denouncing his predecessor as a threat to American democracy, and Trump telling a rally in Iowa that the US under Biden is a “failing nation”.

  2. It’s either the end of democracy in the US if they ban him and the US has finally collapsed or the US is still free. One or the other.

  3. Cant wait till he returns and just laughs at everyone 😂 the world is a better place with Trump as President 👍👍👍👍

  4. SCOTUS will side with Trump on this matter. The basis of the case is that he committed insurrection, since he has not been found guilty of this when it was tried at a federal level they have no choice

    Everyone who looks closely realises this, it's just a way to attack the man for political reasons

  6. Liz Cheney is not worth interviewing as a republican. She was thrown out of office by her own electorate,and is viewed with contempt by republicans.

  8. The absolute hypocracy that america is supposed to be a democracy. Its a corrupt banana republic. Laughable how the media still think people are idiots just as bad as the corrupt politicians .

  21. Trump, the criminal and crook, should not be allowed to become President of the US again. As for Biden, he needs to step down and let someone else run. He's barely awake and is not fit to be president. If these two are your only options, America, then well that speaks volumes.

  25. Insurrectionists…? Even tho absolutely no one has been charged with Insurrection 😂😂 and just to think Kamala called this as bad as 911 and pearl harbour.

  27. The world was a much better place under donald trump, the people need to decide who the next president going to be, if they remove the people's choice then you might see a real insurrection.

  32. awwww poor Channel 4 News! For a public broadcaster, you seem to be totally out of touch with the general public on all these matters! Surprised you didn't have the Lib Dems on to give them more air time to give their opinions.

  34. How can Iowans possibly think that DJT will win in the General Election? Suddenly they can make him a winner? C'mon people!! Biden has a great record so far. The Obama/Biden Administration is Rated tenth best of all previous Administrations. Trump is rated #41 out of 44. CDN Just trying to help. Sorry eh?

  40. When will you please wake up, irrespective of your religion, save yourselves and your children from any distractions that divert you from seeing the destruction of the whole world that is coming very soon?

  41. "Political violence is never acceptable" – unless it's antifa or other left extremists – in that case they're right you're wrong

  42. The Fascist dictator P.u. believes in many cowardly and dirty schemes. He has wanted to destroy the freedom and democracy of the United States and its allies for a long time………. because of the selfishness and smallness of the establishment. Dictatorship, totalitarian Kremlin, Fascist Putin, it brainwashes the Russian people from school, it introduces all mythical, personified, exaggerated stories to make the Russian people hate natural democracy. due to the United States and its allies, but fascist Putin does not understand anything about freedom and democracy……. Meanwhile, the selfishness of fascist dictator Putin does not help the world progress in any way. Where is this ministry, P.u. believes it is evil, slander, fabrication, invasion!!!, it only wants to hold back the progress of this world, it wants to suppress the freedom and democracy of the United States and its allies into a corner……. but it doesn't understand anything (it's very stupid but dangerous)…. …..the freedom and democracy of the United States and its allies, always go before God, helping countless refugees in this world, providing shelter, food, language learning, teaching how to do business, with the aim of solving the problems of national harmony and harmony. religion, resolving many other conflicts in this world…… ..and many wonderful programs, I cannot list them all……. In short, Democracy , the freedom of the United States and its allies are being cornered by the evil Putin, so I call on progressive people to wake up and stop ignoring the cruelty of the evil Putin against Ukraine.( Ukraine today, will come to your country tomorrow if not stopped in time, )… …..please help Ukraine at all costs……. the evil P.u.tin takes the oil, Gas for terrorism is very strong, let's try to unite and convert energy to solar power. Today the system is very modern, solar power output is very high…. Cars Electricity has been in hibernation for 100 years since its invention, and today because of the invention of modern inverters, it is a great period of development for electric cars (no force can reverse it, can stop the development of electric cars anymore)…………. … Progressive Russians, let's make a revolution, overthrow the evil rule of dictatorship. Fascist Putin, cut off that malignant cancer, the malignant cancer is harmful to the entire world, the Kremlin regime now creates Fascism, invasion, society is evil. fia, social evils are rampant and the world is unstable, that's what constant war is…………. World, let's unite and help. support Ukraine, oppose Putin's terrorism, confiscate Putin's terrorist assets, join hands to embargo Putin's terrorism, to cut off Putin's terrorist tentacles around the world.
    (This is the cry for help from those who love the free, democratic world of the United States and its allies: (Never has our world been in danger from the Fascist scourge of the Kremlin's dictatorship, totalitarianism and development). Putin has come like this. The whole world should stop ignoring the fascist scourge in Ukraine, because today in Ukraine, tomorrow it will spread to your country. Let's unite and join hands to help. support Ukraine) please share this message, thank you !)

  45. This is not a revolution or insurrection. There are no weapons. This crowd is no different than the ones in Oregon and Seattle — clearly leftists causing those. Trump said in his speech while they were assaulting the Capitol to be peaceful, not to fight. There is plenty of evidence that the election was not completely honest. Trump simply wanted to address that. "Trump supporters" is much different than "Trump inciting a riot or insurrection." He did no thing of the kind. They shot Babbitt and she was unarmed. Coming through a window is not grounds to shoot someone during a demonstration. There were many police. So many options. But she was shot and killed while unarmed — weaponless. The shooter gets promoted to Captain! Reminds me when they killed the students at Kent State — also unarmed. Now, though, Trump has never been convicted of a crime, they attempt to remove him from the ballot? So wrong. And, illegal. It is election tampering in plain sight of everyone in the world! Wake up America!

  46. The court is bought and paid for by Republicans (especially Trump who appointed 3/7 Justices), so I think we all know how this one’s going to play out

  48. If they stop him from running biden killed democracy. Funny how everything the dems accused trump of theyre STILL DOING to this day!

    Trump is not perfect has many flaws as we all do but he is the only pro-people anti big government candidate and the worlds media, the dems, corrupt republicans and their donors in the Western Hemisphere will do anything they can to stop him.
