  1. Trump would steal your wallet, and then accuse you of thievery when the cops show up, saying he’s been robbed

  2. Poor Donnie, he can't even spell " prosecution ".

  3. Does Donald Trump need Political Action money? Who in this country hasn't heard of this guy, he's a borderline Zeitgeist in our society. My town didn't have a Trump sign at the polling station in 2020 and he almost won the district. Also these news organizations do a great job advertising on his behalf.

  4. Good thing he has now the chance a day in Court to prove his accusation of election fraud, etc.😮

  5. Nothing political at all. Trump tried treason, failed & bragged about it. What’s disturbing is all the Americans that believe all his lies.

  6. 😂😂😂 Covid 45 they had gather the imformation. You have so many crimes. BOSS!

  7. seems pretty obvious they are

  8. Shut up, chocolate pudding boy!

  9. These Quotes by From former Soviet Union Premier Nikita Khrushchev. are similar on what is going on within the Church with LGBT.

    "We can't expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism until one day they will awaken to find they have communism."

    We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.

    The press is our chief ideological weapon. Nikita Khrushchev. Media Control,

  10. Trump right Democrats DA Democrat justice department Their all democrats Show me a republicans indictments on Trump It might hold water

  11. Where's the big Trump baby balloon at? Get it out there!

  12. It's time to think about building the Kamchatka-Alaska bridge. 😉😂 This will become a transit route overland from China and other countries through Russia to Alaska and Canada and further to the USA. Wars could be forgotten

  13. DUMP TRUMP.. We need a better Republican candidate..

  14. Hutchison, Haley, Christie, Pence, they are raising their heads above the parapet and taking pot shots. They are testing how far they can go, verbally.

  15. MAGA tears are so sweet 😂

  16. "I've never done anything wrong. Nobody can prove that I ever did anything wrong. It's pretty tough when a citizen with an unblemished record must be hounded from his home. I am feeling very bad – very bad. How would you feel if the police, paid to protect you, acted towards you like they acted towards me?" – Al Capone December 10, 1927…

    And now Conald tRump!

  17. trump: "politically motivated !"
    judge: "punishment is not politically motivated… even when the crime was politically motivated" 🙂

  18. trump: "i'm persecuted !"
    judge: "you are so obviously guilty… harsh punishment was probably your secret goal for so long… at last, you'll have that… it will have been a fulfilling life after all" 🙂

  19. Evidence isn’t “persecution”.

  24. i used to think if you been charged with at least 1 federal crime you cant run for president but now i dont know if that is indeed the case…

  25. Where are the people that used to chant "LOCK HER UP!"?

  26. Are you ready for Trump's next administration?

  27. Trump is a disgrace to the democratic country. He left behind those people who rallied on him in the capitol. He is there when you need him, it’s so sad. You die for him but he don’t care if you die. He only wants money period and not your blood and sweat for him.

  28. 1:16 Meatball Ron admits Republicans are pigs. He simply doesn't think before opening his dumb mouth.

  29. Don't do criminal activities and you won't be in court… simple
