Trump asleep with mouth WIDE OPEN as Michael Cohen testifies
Donald Trump continues to sleep through his New York hush money trial, despite the riveting testimony unfolding in the courtroom. As Michael Cohen delivers his account, the jury remains engrossed, while Trump appears disinterested, slouched with closed eyes and a gaping mouth. The defense team's strategy focuses on challenging Cohen's credibility by scrutinizing his past statements and memory of conversations with Trump. Amidst Trump's apparent indifference, speculation arises about the potential impact of his behavior on the jury. While some view it as a sign of innocence, others argue it could undermine his standing, raising doubts about his respect for the judicial process. Trump’s inability to stay awake highlights the complex dynamics at play between Trump's demeanor and the jury's perception, sparking debate over its implications for the trial's outcome.
Trump defends Kristi Noem killing dog in interview gone horribly wrong
In a recent interview on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Donald Trump addressed the controversy surrounding Kristi Noem related to her killing a pet dog and lying about meeting with world leaders. Trump defended her, acknowledging the negative press surrounding the incident but praising her overall performance as South Dakota's governor. Despite evading direct questions about her potential role in his administration, Trump's remarks implied ongoing support for Noem, albeit not as a vice-presidential candidate. Additionally, Trump perpetuated unfounded claims about undocumented immigrants voting in elections, despite evidence to the contrary. His comments stirred controversy, showcasing his tendency to deflect questions and mix metaphors in characteristic fashion.
From yesterday’s show:
Michael Cohen testimony DISASTROUS for Trump, could send Trump to PRISON!
Michael Cohen's explosive testimony in Donald Trump's criminal trial has the potential to reshape the former president's future. Cohen, a former ally turned foe, implicated Trump in directing payments to silence Stormy Daniels to prevent damage to his election campaign. This testimony directly ties Trump to campaign finance violations. Despite expected attacks on Cohen's credibility by Trump's defense, his claims align with previous evidence and could prove damning. Cohen's account of Trump's involvement in concealing affairs and inflating asset values in civil cases further paints a damning picture. Cohen's statement that Trump approved the plan to pay Daniels and knew it would be disguised as legal costs form the crux of the prosecution's case against Trump. Trump's defense faces an uphill battle as Cohen's testimony casts a dark shadow over him, potentially leading to dire consequences.
From yesterday’s show:
Biden winning the war on crime after Trump lost it BADLY
Amidst Republican claims and right-wing media narratives painting a picture of escalating crime under President Joe Biden's administration, evidence suggests a different reality. Despite the lack of coverage in corporate media, Biden has had silent success in tackling crime, contrasting sharply with Donald Trump's failures. Crime rates, including murder, violent crime, and property crime, have notably decreased under Biden, although not necessarily directly attributable to his policies. While some fringe voices advocate for defunding the police, mainstream Democrats prioritize funding public safety, as evidenced by significant funding secured for such projects by Congressional Democrats. Yet, common right-wing talking points persist, dismissing statistical evidence and relying on anecdotes to bolster claims of rising crime. Claims that police have been hindered or that reporting to the FBI has diminished under Biden lack statistical backing and are reminiscent of similar claims during Trump's presidency. Overall, Biden's quiet victory in the war on crime stands in stark contrast to the noisy rhetoric dominating media discourse.
