The mere fact he's still likely to win the next election is such an embarassment. I'm not American but it's genuinely worrying if you're European too. You just know he'll cave to Russia within days of being elected.
If you're Ukrainian it's horrible. Putin has no motive to stop the war till after the election. If Trump wins, he'll do his best to fuck over Ukraine and help Putin.
And I know there's a sizeable amount of Trump supporters in Taiwan and Trump likes to go on about being tough on China, but given Trump admires Xi, those in power have got to be worried about the prospect of a second Trump term too.
On the plus side, I hope that Europe has finally realized we can't rely on the US, and need to rebuild our defense industry. Obviously, that doesn't necessarily serve US interests, as we may be forced to side with China on certain issues against a beligerent US administration.
I have a feeling this is intentional. These statements can be used as evidence and it gets him off the case for which he probably realized he's never getting paid and his client is a moron.
He's not using the I didn't know it was wrong defense (that was earlier) but the my lawyers told me it was fine defense (his previous lawyers, not these two).
So, I don't think these statements matter to his current defensive strategy.
Dude Trump has literally broadcast his crimes on Fox TV. It doesn't take a lawyer admitting it.
I still have plenty of doubts the indictments will put him away for any amount of time that he actually deserves. I'd say 3 month suspended sentence at best. I'll believe he's going to jail when he's in jail.
I don't understand how anyone can think there's any truth or a space left for the mending of America. It never was what they said it was and it never will be. The jig is up.
People need to move on... A new foundation or no foundation. I feel like that's the only choice.
How much more do they have to do for people to realize? The governments and streets are laced with career criminals and good honest men and women just get used.
It's already too far gone to be fixed. Trust is dead and will take decades or more to get back from people and future generations.
Lauro: At the end, he asked Mr Pence to pause the voting for 10 days, allow the state legislatures to weigh in and then they could make a determination to audit or reaudit or recertify. But what he didn't do is, you know, send in the tanks…
Think about that for a minute... Trump and his lawyers believe we should be thanking him because Trump didn't turn American streets into blood-soaked war zones.
IMO if Trump had his way we would have had an American versions of Tienanmen Square all across the country instead of the insurrection he was able to incite.
Wait, if Trump committed crimes in several states (as he did) - wouldn’t then the RICO Act come into effect and this could be treated as “organized crime”?
