  1. Chump might as well swap his fancy Florida
    resort for prison, given how horribly he’s
    been acting lately.

  2. DONALD Trump , Republican Party And Hilari Clinton Destroyed the Democracy of Bangladesh …. . They are enemy Of Democracy . AND …. 🥃🍷 Is America a Threat to Democratic Countries in the World ?
    From 1991 to 2006, when the democratic governance system was established in Bangladesh and the legal system of elections under the democratically responsible government was in operation, why did the United States destroy everything with the help of India and establish an autocratic government there?
    Now, in order to overthrow the autocratic government, the democracy-loving opposition parties are making plays to establish democracy! What does the United States want ?
    Of course, the Republican administration of the United States was responsible for killing democracy and establishing dictatorship in Bangladesh ! The Republicans did not think that this autocratic government would be established as very harmful to the United States in the future ! And the same mistake was made by the former Obama administration .
    On the other hand, it is also alleged that Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State of the Democratic administration of the United States, took a huge bribe to establish the autocratic government of Bangladesh .

  3. President's not obaying the laws, and President's should get away with it. Nope, you do the crime, then you do the time, President's. Trump sounds like a dictator again. In the United States, we don't want dictators, and we don't have dictators.

  4. Look at that fool – clapping for himself.

  5. We've had 44 presidents. Never needed that. So what the are you talking about?

  6. Because they don’t like it? Can’t accept the law?

  7. AMERICANS VOTE DONALD TRUMP PRESIDENT 2024!!😊😊

  8. "Citizen Trump." Nice subtle burn.

  9. This is the most corrupt legal system ever!!!

  10. After D.C. Appeals Court decision today, Biden aborted Seal Team mission to Mar-a-Lago.

  11. In 1972 Nixon tried to steal the election with "Watergate", Trump tried to steal the election with "Jan 6, 2020"; after almost 50 years the GOP is repeating history by trying to destroy democracy and turning the US into a dictatorship.

  12. For the record, Trump’s never outright denied the charges against him. He’s only claimed immunity and lambasted the system for not being in his favor.

  13. It does not matter who is elected president. In the next 273 days after U.S. has declared war and re-instated the draft, Gen Z Draftables will be hiring Rio Grande coyotes to guide them south over the Darien Gap.
    🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

  14. I am immune I got beautiful Covid shots not what Fauci wanted. The Ivermectin, the bleach, I am IMMUNE. Day One I will shut down the traitor Supreme Court. MAGA!

  15. Well trump's stupid and everyone with a brain knows that! There has been NO PRESIDENT of the United States who's had "immunity!" He wants it so he can "ESCAPE FROM PROSECUTION FOR HIS CRIMINAL WAYS!"……What a "LOSER!"

  16. He doesn't deserve immunity

  17. It is doubtful that the Supreme Court will sustain DJT's flimsy argument. That being said, may the wheels of justice shift into four-wheel drive and prosecute this very corrupt, self-serving narcissist. My Christmas wish for 2024 is that this awful man ends up where he belongs: in a prison cell for the remainder of natural life

  18. If that's the case Biden should take him out with seal team LOL.

  19. Trump conned MAGA Karens to buy "never surrender" memorabilia even though that mugshot is evidence that he surrendered. Hilariously pathetic!

  20. Immunity for all time thereafter is not what Trump was arguing. This trial is about act performed while still President. No one has jurisdiction over the President without Congress authorizing it!

  21. Thank you Gorsuch and Kavanaugh for publishing your opinions that align with this decision before being on the SCOTUS.
    Google it.

  22. Let’s keep using citizen trump.

  23. i suspect the polls will switch during late summer in favor of Biden.

  24. Another predicted waste of time was all this all was.

  25. Thank you Mr Senate Minority Leader for saying after Drumpf's second impeachment that this mustn't be litigated in Congress but instead in the US courts. YouTube it.

  26. Total brown-out at Mara Lardo.

  27. No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build 'his greatness upon his Country’s ruin.'” — George Washington

    CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸

  28. Hong Kong country

    Taiwan part of Japan😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
