Trump melts down about life in prison, posts 31 videos

Donald Trump is demonstrating escalating panic and anxiety as he faces upcoming trials that could potentially result in lengthy prison sentences. Despite Trump's desire for a delayed trial over his federal 2020 election case, it is set to begin in March, prompting him to post a flurry of over 30 videos to Truth Social. These videos showcase his attempts to influence public opinion and rally support, touching on various subjects, including claims of victory in Georgia, attacks on Republicans, accusations of election rigging, and criticisms of media outlets like Fox News. Trump is clearly grasping for ways to avoid the impending trial, but so far has come up short. He’s tried to appeal the trial date decision, not realizing that this isn’t something that is subject to appeal. While some doubt the likelihood of Trump serving time in prison, the charges he is facing are serious and jail time is not outside the realm of possibility. These cases will undoubtedly be front and center in the 2024 presidential campaign, and it remains to be seen whether they will help or hurt his chances.

DISASTER: Trump's lawyer ADMITS to crimes on Fox News

The indicted former attorney for Donald Trump, John Eastman, may have inadvertently confessed to the charges laid against him during his recent appearance on Fox News with Laura Ingraham. Throughout the interview, Eastman candidly delved into his memorandum and activities aimed at prolonging the election certification process. This could plausibly be construed as an act of self-incrimination, given that Eastman essentially conceded to his involvement in attempting to hinder the certification process, even though the legality of his authority to do so remains dubious. This situation underscores the potential hazards of openly discussing legal matters on television, especially when one is confronted with criminal allegations. It is evident that Eastman's legal acumen is not the best, which likely facilitated his selection by Trump for the task of executing questionable strategies to retain power following his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Trump promises to "lock people up" during INSANE Glenn Beck interview

During an interview with Glenn Beck on The Blaze, former President Donald Trump voiced his intention to potentially imprison individuals if he were to regain the presidency, exacerbating concerns about his authoritarian tendencies. Despite Trump’s prior stance of advocating for law, order, and due process, Trump now says he wants to lock up Democrats on a whim. Trump reflected on his “lock her up” mantra from the 2016 campaign regarding Hillary Clinton but acknowledged that he refrained from such actions during his presidency, implying that circumstances might change if he were to return to office. While discussing his legal challenges, Trump insinuated that President Biden might be behind his legal troubles, despite no evidence to support this claim. The conversation highlights concerns about potential abuse of power and erosion of due process under a possible second Trump administration.

Trump ATTACKS judge, demands "appeal" that does not exist

Donald Trump claims that he will appeal the start of his federal 2020 election case, even though it’s not something he has the right to appeal. Judge Tanya Chutkan recently made the decision to schedule the trial for March 20, 2024, rather than Trump's favored date in April 2026. This led the former president to complain on Truth Social, writing, “Trump Hating Judge gave me only a two month extension, just what our corrupt government wanted, SUPER TUESDAY. I will APPEAL!”. In response, legal analysts Renato Mariotti and Jennifer Rodgers emphasized the lack of validity in attempting to appeal a trial date, while former White House attorney Ty Cobb cautioned against potential repercussions for targeting the court. The experts point out that opportunities for appeals only arise after a conviction, hinging on arguments of insufficient time for preparation. Once again, Trump is demonstrating that he doesn’t understand what he’s talking about and is trying to assert a privilege he doesn’t actually have.
