Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

[krtek a houby]

Things are going to get a lot uglier. The rage from the Trump cult is terrifying. Talk of a final battle between good and evil. Let's hope it's just confined to online meltdowns and hyperbole.

So if the conviction holds. There is nothing in the US constitution that stops a convicted felon for running for president!? As I understand it. Crazy times we live in.

 

[Ming]

this is the odd thing that will be covered by every news channel in the next few days

does this trial galvanise his base vote for trump


is his base not a bunch of brainwashed fuckwit gobshite who were already going to vote for him after he tried to attack the capital after the last lose to biden

were the going to vote for someone else if was found not guilty

This is it. His base like the outlaw shtick he portrays. It'll probably galvanize them and improve his voter turnout unfortunately. And anything less than a jail sentence won't bother him.

So much for the party of law and order and the moral majority.

 

[Ax^]

hmm hia base it already pretty galvanized not sure many swing voter's are suddenly going or be suddenly turned to the idea of voting for the orange fuck wit because of today's verdict ...

maybe more movement on the more moderate republican side going " No I cannot vote for this fuckwit looser"

Just saw Trump's statement. Rigged case by a conflicted judge that was corrupt.

The thing is... he wasn't tried by judge. He was tried by his peers. Peers chosen by the fair and honest system.

Whatever happens, I'll be surprised if the conviction doesn't hold. Why wouldn't it? It's obvious he's guilty. And to appeal, you need to have grounds. We'll see what grounds they can invent.

Thing about being one of Trump's lawyers is that he does lose a lot. You get paid loads (when he pays) to lose.

He's been involved in more than 4,000 lawsuits before this criminal trial! His administration had a 93% loss rate when he was in power.

Trump loses 93% of cases in court. We know, because we sue Trump and win. - Democracy Forward

"Im a very innocent man"

"The most innocent! No one in history has ever been as innocent as Trump! Some people have been saying that I'm more innocent than Jesus and they'd be right. He was tried and convicted for terrorism against the Roman state. What was I found guilty for? NOTHING! It's a SHAM, a LIE and a FIX set in play by the CROOKED BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, the RADICAL LEFTISTS AND FASCISTS and the DEEP STATE! If like me you see this SCAM as a HOAX and a SETUP, then you MUST DONATE TODAY SO WE CAN RETAKE THE WHITE HOUSE AND PUT THE REAL CRIMINALS BEHIND BARS! MAGA!"

...or words to that effect...

He did say that he was as innocent as Mother Theresa but unfortunately there was one response pointing out that Mother Theresa was as guilty as hell

The traditional candidates going to the polling booth publicity shots will be interesting this year.

Imagine if Trump lost by 1 vote.

Predictably, Trump fans react sensibly

Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict

By Joseph Tanfani, Ned Parker and Peter Eisler Supporters of former President Donald Trump, enraged by his conviction on 34 felony counts by a New York jury, flooded pro-Trump websites with calls for riots, revolution and violent retribution. After Trump became the first U.S. president to be...

Time to rename the thread

Donald Trump the road that might lead to the Big House - Redux 2024 thread.

I don't see it hurting him at all, I don't see how you can support him so far and decide this is too much.

Exactly this. If you’re happy to vote for someone who boasts about going around grabbing pussies, a bit of fraud’s not going to bother you.

What it does show is that the MAGA base is not as big as it appears, if not even one in twelve was loony enough to go with him that doesn’t bode well for him in November.

That was what Trump was complaining about on the courthouse steps: the jurors were selected from a county/jurisdiction where only 5% had voted for him last time. Hence “rigged”.

Unfortunately, the polls still look positive for him, although there are always questions about methodology.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Such. A fucking. Grifter.

Starts singing

Don't freeeeeee Donald J Tuuuuump.....

last time I was convicted of anything 0% of the people in that courtroom had voted for me. Then again, just like Trump I was was guilty as hell...

Isn't it slander for him to claim that the judge is corrupt? Not that he cares about being slanderous.

I'm sure the judge will take that in to account when it comes to sentencing...

One juror reported that their only news source was Truth Social, yet they still returned a unanimous verdict.

My feels are that the MAGA hats are unswayable, but he also needs the mainstream vote to actually win, and they still trust the legal system.

Have we had this yet? The Apprentice producer's NDA has expired so he spills the beans on all the sleaze. It was all a con, no surprise there.

It elevated Donald J. Trump from sleazy New York tabloid hustler to respectable household name. In the show, he appeared to demonstrate impeccable business instincts and unparalleled wealth, even though his businesses had barely survived multiple bankruptcies and faced yet another when he was cast. By carefully misleading viewers about Trump—his wealth, his stature, his character, and his intent—the competition reality show set about an American fraud that would balloon beyond its creators’ wildest imaginations.

When it comes to the long con, the cherry on top is the prologue to the premiere. It’s a five-minute-long soliloquy delivered by Trump at the beginning of the first episode, the one titled “Meet the Billionaire.” Over a rousing score, it features Trump pulling out all the stops, calling New York “my city” and confessing to crawling out from under “billions of dollars in debt.” There’s Trump in the back of limousines. Trump arriving before throngs of cheering crowds outside Trump Tower. Trump in his very own helicopter as it banks over midtown—the same helicopter with the Trump logo that, just like the airplane, is actually for sale to the highest bidder. The truth is, almost nothing was how we made it seem.

So, we scammed. We swindled. Nobody heard the racist and misogynistic comments or saw the alleged cheating, the bluffing, or his hair taking off in the wind. Those tapes, I’ve come to believe, will never be found.

No one lost their retirement fund or fell on hard times from watching The Apprentice. But Trump rose in stature to the point where he could finally eye a run for the White House, something he had intended to do all the way back in 1998.

For 20 Years, I Couldn’t Say What Donald Trump Did on the Set of The Apprentice. Now I Can.

The con we pulled on America just won’t die.

MAGA world pinned its hopes on Juror No. 2, who listed his news sources as Twitter and Truth Social, which must make Trump's conviction even more crushing for them

Some commentators have suggested that Trump might find a guardian angel in Juror 2, the only one to have admitted to following Trump on Truth Social and to getting his news from the platform. But the media consumption graphic only tells part of the story. “I read basically everything,” Juror 2 said. “I follow Truth Social posts from Trump on Twitter. I do follow Michael Cohen, Mueller She Wrote, and some more.” He said that Trump has done some good for the country, but added “it goes both ways.” (That doesn’t sound exactly like a MAGA diehard.)

The biggest misconception from Trump's historic jury selection

Amid the mayhem of Juror 2 discourse and MAGA threats, the process revealed a lot about the ongoing trial you might have missed.
