We've all seen the evidence. We've seen the pictures of classified documents sitting in Mara Lago. We've heard the recording of Trump openly admitting that he didn't declassify them and shouldn't have them. It's farcical to pretend he's not guilty.
"Yes that's me in that video murdering those people, and I'll do it again!"
Hey guys, we gotta presume innocence!
Your joke suggests a different situation where the accused is declaring their guilt. Not exactly the same thing.
Actually very close to the same thing, since Trump has declared his guilt too. Just because he framed it as a good thing to do doesn't make it any less of a confession.
I never said he wasn't guilty. I merely pointed out that an accusation is what precedes legal prosecution, regardless of whether or not the accused actually committed a crime. Despite irrefutable evidence of Trump's crimes existing, it remains important to remember the way the system actually works.
