Unsurprising but disgusting

Of course he's nervous: if the republicans get enough power: all his troubles literally evaporate.

“I think if they win, I should get all of the credit, and if they lose, I should not be blamed at all,” Trump told NewsNation, adding: “But it will probably be just the opposite.”

Somehow it's always an immigrants' fault.

OK, that was actually a pretty good quip. You must be in an uncharacteristically good mood today. Somehow.

 

[KidTDragon]

He has his moments.

i believe he's dumb enough to admit to it but not competent enough to actually do it.

Can you convict someone of a crime everyone knows he didn't do because of a false confession?

More importantly, can you use it as an excuse to overthrow the results he's falsely claiming credit for?

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Considering how many other crimes he's effectively confessed to and nothing's happened, don't hold your breath.

You would think if that story was true, someone would have either leaked it or had it published in a book by now.

It's honestly starting to seem like every time trump opens his mouth these days, a new law suit falls out.

And it does make me happy!

I keep waiting for his entire family to flee to Canada.

I keep waiting for his entire family to flee to Canada.

They're from Florida, they can't take the cold. Saudi Arabia is a more likely destination.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

If only all of these lawsuits actually went anywhere.

Wouldn't help him. Canada has transparent extradition with the US, and boy are there some warrants coming for him.

It's very likely that his announcement on Tuesday is going to be a 2024 run at the Presidency just to avoid all these law suits.

 

[Paladin]

AND swindle even more money out of his fanbase. Can't forget that...

 

[DefaultOption]

It's very likely that his announcement on Tuesday is going to be a 2024 run at the Presidency just to avoid all these law suits.

Well, he very probably thinks that's how it will work, but it isn't. You have to actually be President to fall under that 'can't prosecute a sitting President' thing*.

(*And even that doctrine has never faced a serious legal challenge. Considering that it only exists in the form of a memo from the WH Office of Legal Council from the Nixon administration, there's nothing that says it would survive a well-founded case against it [of course the current right-wing hack SCOTUS would be happy to apply their double standards to it, sound legal arguments notwithstanding])

Latest on the Maralago documents case - Justice Department thinks it was ego not money that motivated Trump.

Investigators Now Think Trump Took Classified Documents For Ego, Not Money

Witnesses have suggested to the FBI that Trump just didn’t want to “give up what he believed was his property,” The Washington Post reported.
