Trump vows to appeal what he claims is ‘scam conviction’, laying into Biden and complaining about trial – live

Your one of today's luck 10000. Or maybe considerably more.

Greatest Liar of All Time

Trump came up with it, I'm just repurposing it.

Edit: He used it for Cohen during this trial.

Trumps lawyers*

I doubt he had any hand in that statement.

You're probably right. I bet they had so many meetings, so many, on what was the best word to use. Also, Trump probably had to approve it. His lawyer talking about how involved he was: https://youtu.be/Aw1udbzH0GY?si=LhQ7LtxSddKkms-1&t=476

Lmao at the number of MAGA simps in that comment section.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Lol, I didn't see that when I was looking for the clip. I'm hoping they're mostly bots, but who knows.

Trump... Trump ... Trump ...will still vote for trump even if he is in Jail..

ah yes biden, the uh president of new york?

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You're correct that Trump complaining about Biden for this New York case doesn't make any sense. Presumably Trump is counting on his supporters believing in some conspiracy or being uniformed. Alvin Brag is the District Attorney of New York County and doesn't report to Biden.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Conservative critical thinking skills are low, so the basic logic is that New York, as a reliable blue state, must therefore be under Biden's control.

Much of the Republican worldview is based on projection, so part of that assumption is that Biden controls an army of loyalists just like Trump does. To Republicans, New York may as well be Mordor.
