When he was originally told that he could discuss the case, I figured they were just lending him some rope….

To hang himself with?
and people wonder why he isn't under a gag order.
Right - the prosecution is loving this. Finally Trump talking might actually make a difference.
The art of the deal.
What a fucking chump
I feel like I'm watching a Shakespeare play with this dude FFS.
He is everything I hate about myself and everyone all forced into a big dramatic reenactment on the world stage.
He's the Juice™️
I laughed out loud reading his quote aloud.
"Much much stuff"
As a non American I cannot wait to see him behind bars both to not be able to fuck with world politics and to finally stop hearing about his delusional fucking ramblings.
Unfortunately him being convicted wouldn't get rid of him from the media perspective.
It be the first time any president in this country went to prison over crimes committed while in office. They will milk that to death and we will be getting sound bits from him in prison for long time.
Our only hope is he fucking dies and then maybe then we won't have to hear about him anymore. I just hope that once done with him they go after the rest of the family.
It's pointless to try to pin him down like this, because his explanations are so incoherent. Is it a confession? Is it a denial? Who knows. It's just word salad.
My confession? The best, other confessions are wrong, mine is the only confession.
I've read the theory that he's so fucked legally he's just angling for a guarantee of a pardon from whoever beats him in the primary, if someone does; or otherwise a self-pardon.
It's a real danger. The first time anyone with an ( R ) next to their name wins the Presidency, he's getting a pardon, maybe even posthumously.
It's not a danger because I think he's a jackass, but because, by all evidence so far, he's broken the law, and such an action would be
even if he is not proven guilty
conceding that some people in this country are above the law.
There's one thing though that might stop them.
Pardoning him means having to run against him in the next election, regardless of age.
