I thought at first it was Traitor Trump down the drain (or those low-flush toilets he and his fellow criminals tried to use to get rid of incriminating evidence…..)
The Self-Deceiving Sociopath does think that he’s innocent, because he doesn’t believe that laws apply to him.
“I’m a liar. I’m a thief. I’m emotionally shallow. I’m mostly immune to remorse and guilt. I’m highly manipulative. I don’t care what other people think. I’m not interested in morals. I’m not interested, period. Rules do not factor into my decision making. I’m capable of almost anything.” —from Sociopath, a memoir by Patric Gagne.
Donald Trump offered oil executives the reversal of some of President Joe Biden’s climate policies upon the former president’s reelection in exchange for campaign contributions, specifically $1 Biillion dollars.
The chairs of the Senate Finance and Budget committees announced in a joint statement Thursday that they have sent letters to nine oil companies, including ExxonMobile and Chevron, asking for additional information related to a fundraiser event where Trump allegedly sought $1 billion in campaign contributions in return for promises of policy changes to benefit their companies.
That is the “quid pro quo” that is illegal. The way this is supposed to work is that the candidate puts out statements of what he intends to do and people donate based on liking or disliking what he says. It’s a simple rule, and whether the donation is a bribe or not is mostly in the mind of the donor. Trump, instead, announced it at a meeting of oil execs.
I don’t know how the GOP allowed this to happen. They should know campaign rules better than I do. Trump is either too stupid to understand the rules, or he has lived so long with the notion that rules don’t apply to him that he is simply unable to realize that they do. This is why we was guilty of 34 legal violations, and why he seems to be unable to stop behaving illegally, and worse yet, unable to at least stop doing it on tape.
One juror who voted guilty said his only source of news is Truth Social. Yo, trumpsters, there were republicans on the jury. What I do not understand is what happened to losing gracefully. All outgoing Democrat Presidents graciously welcomed their Republican successors and vice versa; guess which ex prez snubbed his successor—what a sore loser (emphasis on loser).
‘Uncomfortable’: Expert says Trump will ‘fail’ upcoming court mental health questionsDonald Trump is about to be put even more out of his comfort zone as the legal system continues to put its weight upon him now that he’s been convicted of 34 felonies.

Trump was incapable of testifying — not because of the gag order, as MAGAts claim. It was because he could NOT do so without committing perjury.
He admitted it.

Tonto’s Honey ask good question. “How many of those dopes at a trump rally would go, if they charged admission?”
Not too many I think. Maybe wrong.
