Trump’s DOJ ‘weaponization’ complaints are falling flat – and they’re coming back to haunt him: analysis
According to an analysis of a new Politico Magazine/Ipsos poll, “dubious” claims that every Donald Trump indictment results in a boost in his re-election prospects are not borne out by the numbers — and, in fact, support for the embattled ex-president is in a slow-motion free fall.
Writing for Politico, former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori stated Trump’s key defense against his four indictments is falling flat on its face with voters who aren’t part of his rabid MAGA base.
As Khardori explained, any chance the former president has of returning to the Oval Office would require him to appeal to independents and undecideds and a growing number instead believe he belongs in jail.
“The survey results suggest Americans are taking the cases seriously — particularly the Justice Department’s 2020 election case — and that most people are skeptical of Trump’s claim to be the victim of a legally baseless witch hunt or an elaborate, multi-jurisdictional effort to ‘weaponize’ law enforcement authorities against him,” he wrote.
No real American would vote for lying traitor Trump.
He can’t really complain that this is interfering with his presidential campaign — it gives him something to talk about while avoiding issues and it gives him way too much media time. It would really be great if the news media would quit having him in every headline and every lead-in story. He’s not ‘breaking’ news. He’s a broken record.

Republicans can’t keep up with criminal Trump’s constant need to pay tons of money to lawyers to stave off the inevitable.

Like the ‘toon, but there’s a basic problem. He wouldn’t be doing this himself, he would have minions doing it for him.

I suspect that Donnie John will run out of “life” before he runs out of “suckers” willing to pass their hard-earned dollars to his various “scams”…
Phineas Taylor Barnum nailed the description of the average Trump supporter well over a hundred years before the first one was even born…

surprised his shirts are only selling for $34.00, normally he would price them at $45 or $47 to pay for his campaign.
