Mr Trump posted that he was told to report to a grand jury, "which almost always means an Arrest".

    The craziest thing is that this fat New York billionaire has somehow convinced rural uneducated removed that he cares about them and to vote for him.

        He claims to hate the same people they hate. He was a Democrat until he decided to run as a Republican.

        “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat,” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in a 2004 interview. “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats.” - Donald Trump

        Whether or not he really hates them is anyone’s guess. Personally, I think that after his foray in birther-land, he realized that Republican voters would like it if he dropped the mask and let his racism shine through. Now he just spews hate at anyone right wing voters hate and they lap it up.

          I don’t doubt that his hate is genuine. He’s subject to the same brain rot as every other boomer who spends all day parked in front of Fox News.

      What a terrible way to refer to other people. I’m sure using language like this surely convinces them otherwise.

        It is also much more complex than that. Some educated and otherwise intelligent people also voted for Trump.

          Dumb people at least have an excuse.

          The smart people who support Trump clearly know that he’s an evil and corrupt fascist moron removedpig, and that makes them even worse.

      Ultimately, they’re useful idiots for each other.

      Trump pandered to get the votes. The voters knew they were being pandered to, and went with it willingly. There were several interesting times where Trump tried to not be batshit crazy, and they full ass ignored him.

      He’s only their messiah as long as he functions as a mirror for them to see themselves in power.

        What other word can I use to describe people who think very very slowly with limited scope and experience, or often not at all?

      See, the conservatives are absolutely right, Trump is being treated unfairly! If you or I had done that we would have been laying bloody on a cell floor after “tripping” and “falling” several times the very same day it happened. The fact that he gets to live in a mansion in palm beach until proven guilty proves without a doubt that he isn’t being treated the same way as the rest of us, which would be fair.

      Well thats how privilege woks in the US, if you got the money and the right color skin you can avoid charges for literally any crime for an indefinite period. Even these upcoming trials, Im pretty sure trump will be able to push them back and avoid them till 5 or more years go by, then he’ll be way to old to put into jail or some insane right wing president will pardon him for all of it, or some insane fake judge that he appointed will drop all the charges… etc, etc, etc

      I still doubt he will ever do any real jail time for all these crimes. If he does it will be a miracle.

    While I appreciate the updates, can we get accurate titles? There’s a zero percent chance Trump said “I expect an indictment in election probe.” Not nearly enough capitalization and exclamation points, and far too much correct grammar. I want to know what he actually said, then maybe add a translation in parentheses afterward.

    From what ive seen so far indictment is what rich people get instead of what regular people get when criminally charged. No arrest or jail time involved.
