Trump Goes On Fact-Free Rant During Appearance At Hush Money Trial: ‘Even If Guilty There Is No Crime!’

Failed one-term twice-impeached former president Donald Trump made an appearance at a Manhattan courthouse this morning where he’s on trial for falsifying records and committing financial fraud to hide his payment of hush money to Stormy Daniels, and it didn’t take long before the disgraced ex-head of state began spewing easily discredited lies and conspiracy theories.

The case, which was brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, is one of many legal landmines facing Trump as he tries to become the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.

According to Trump, “We’re here for something that is not a crime! Nobody’s ever seen anything like what it is, it is election interference being run by Joe Biden’s White House! His top person was placed here… This is a terrible time for our country. This is a real dark period for our country.”

He then added:

“Virtually every legal scholar says they don’t understand that there’s no crime even if he was guilty of something, there’s no crime! So, I will say that enjoy it. It’s a sad thing. It’s a sad day for New York.”

Despite Trump’s angry protestations, the trial will move forward on March 25, Judge Juan Merchan ruled, according to CNN:

A judge ruled former President and GOP front runner Donald Trump will face his first criminal trial with jury selection on March 25 in New York.

This comes after Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the charges against him in the criminal hush money case Thursday.

The decision comes as other criminal charges against Trump in other states have yet to be scheduled, as they are going through with pre-trial motions and being challenged in court.

The trial will come in the middle of the ramp up to the general election. 

Trump is also facing charges in federal court for illegally possessing classified documents and insurrection against the United States government for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which was won in a landslide by President Joe Biden.

Trump Whines About His Ongoing Legal Problems In Bizarre ‘Valentine’ To Melania

Ever the romantic, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump used the occasion of Valentine’s Day to whine about his ongoing legal problems and suggest that his supporters should send money to him as a way of honoring his wife, Melania.

The Trump campaign sent out a blast email Wednesday morning which featured as the subject line “I love you, Melania!” according to Mediaite.

Once opened, the email revealed a tender message of love and legal persecution:

THIS IS A VALENTINE’S DAY LETTER FROM DONALD J. TRUMP:

Thomas, this is a Valentine’s Day letter to my beautiful wife, Melania!

Dear Melania,

I LOVE YOU!

Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side.

You’ve always supported me through everything.

I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth.

You will always mean the world to me, Melania!

From your husband with love,

Donald J. Trump

Please leave some kind words for the First Lady this Valentine’s Day!

SEND YOUR LOVE
May God bless you,

Donald J. Trump

45th President of the United States

The email also contains repeated urgings for recipients to send $47 each. If you try to click off that message, another pops up that reads:

WAIT, BEFORE YOU GO!

No matter how many vicious lies and attacks they throw our way, President Trump will NEVER SURRENDER our great country to the Left’s tyranny! But the Democrats will spend billions and billions of dollars to try and stop our movement, and we’re counting on YOUR support to finish what we started.

Together, we will DISMANTLE the Deep State, WIN BACK the White House, and SAVE AMERICA in 2024! Please consider completing your contribution today. Thank you!

Need to feel the love? Here’s a video of the Valentine’s Day message from the disgraced, indicted loser ex-president.

Gloves Off: Stephen King Calls Donald Trump A ‘Traitor To The American Way Of Life’

Though he’s been critical of failed one-term former president Donald Trump in the past, novelist Stephen King is now accusing Trump of being a traitor for remarks he made Saturday in South Carolina about how he would “encourage” Russia to attack NATO nations that don’t meet their financial obligations to the alliance.

As the Washington Post reported, “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?,’” Trump said during a rally at Coastal Carolina University. “I said, ‘You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

That was the breaking point for King, who expressed his disgust on social media.

King received plenty of support from others on Twitter/X.

Delusional Right Winger Says Taylor Swift Will Perform At Trump’s Second Inauguration 

You’ve probably never heard of Debra Lea, who works as an “ambassador” for Turning Point USA, the right-wing organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses, but she’s convinced that Taylor Swift will agree to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration if he wins the election in November.

Lea was a guest on Newsmax Sunday, and she began by saying she doesn’t think that Swift will agree to endorse President Joe Biden’s reelection effort.

“A lot of people on the right have been, but I don’t see a big conspiracy theory here,” Lea said. “But as we’ve seen with her private jet, she just sold her private jet after a lot of peer pressure from people saying she’s one of the worst celebrities in terms of carbon emissions, and there was a kid tracking her jet that she’s trying to sue right now.”

“She’s clearly susceptible to community pressure, peer pressure, so I think we should use our voices to pressure her to vote for the right candidate, for the Republican candidate, instead of just assuming she’s gonna vote for Biden and boxing her in,” Lea continued. “I think we should try to win her over to our side. I’m a Swifty, I’m a Republican Swifty, and I would love to see people on our side perform at Trump’s inauguration.”

“You know, a girl can dream, and I think we gotta work on that front, on winning her over, rather than just pushing her further left.”

WATCH A Fox News Host Confront Tom Cotton For Being Terrified Of Donald Trump

Fox News host Shannon Bream put Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on the spot for his and others in the GOP’s fear of failed former president Donald Trump and the way he is “brainwashing” Republicans.

On Fox News Sunday, Bream referenced a recent report from Politico about how Trump had successfully convinced congressional Republicans to kill bipartisan legislation dealing with the border.

“So President Biden not only gets to blame you guys about the border, but he gets to blame President Trump, who he says tanked this whole deal, saying he wants to keep it alive as a campaign issue and that basically, he’s running the GOP at this point,” Bream began.

“Politico says this, quote, it’s devastating Trump seizes unmatched control over GOP, talking a quote there from an analyst, and saying this, he’s got a stronghold, quoting Amy Tarkanian, former chair of the Nevada Republican Party.”

“I don’t know how to explain it,” Bream said, quoting a GOP strategist. “It’s completely mind-boggling to me, the type of brainwashing that has been done.”

“Critics say there’s no check on him within the GOP,” she added. “You’re all afraid of him. You’ve endorsed him. What do you make of this argument that he’s essentially taken away your autonomy as a senator?”

Cotton tried to suggest that he wasn’t merely a puppet for Trump and the MAGA movement, but his denial wasn’t very convincing.

“Not all, Shannon,” he responded. “What President Trump saw about this bill is what most Arkansans saw about it, what all but four Republican senators saw, which is that it does not solve the problem.”

“What I want to do, what most Republican senators want to do, what President Trump wants to do is stop the border crisis,” he continued. “And now we can see, with Joe Biden ideologically invested in open borders, the way to stop that crisis is to elect President Trump this fall.”

“He did it once. He can do it again.”

But did Trump actually stop the border crisis, as Cotton suggests? A new report from Semafor suggests he didn’t, and the numbers are not on Trump’s side.

During its final two years, Trump’s administration released 713,000 immigrants into the US, or 52% of all people crossing the border, per a recent Cato Institute analysis. By comparison, the Biden administration released 49% of migrants entering between ports of entry in the first two years, totaling 2.5 million.

Tom Cotton and 99.9% all Republicans have turned the GOP over to Trump and the MAGA extremists. Are they brainwashed, or are they merely showing their true colors now that Trump has made it acceptable to be a bigot if you’re a member of his party?
