Re: Trump’s Troubles
It wouldn't surprise me if he became president again.

If runs against Biden it’s almost certain.
I’m just looking forward to seeing the inventive way they remove Biden in the next year and parachute in Newsome or whoever.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
So Mar-a-Lago could be worth £1.8 billion. But he’s still taking campaign-style donations for his legal defence.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
It’s all still peripheral fluff. Which won’t impact his presidential run at all.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Donny and his eastern European rental have been renegotiating their prenup, got to wonder what's in it for him really, does she make any difference to his presidential credentials or is it because a wife can't be forced to testify against her husband, can't think of anther reason he's going from prenup to postnup

Re: Trump’s Troubles
While in court today, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, attacking Judge Engoron’s clerk, calling her “Shumer’s girlfriend” and linking to her Instagram account.
The judge then issued a limited gag order.
https://apnews.com/article/trump-let...516f29b5a43d33
Quote:
Judge Arthur Engoron issued the order, which applies to all parties in the case and pertains only to verbal attacks on court staff. It came after Trump recirculated a disparaging social media post about Engoron’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield.
Without naming Trump, Engoron said that a defendant in the case “posted to a social media account a disparaging, untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff.” He added that “personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, not appropriate” and not tolerated.
Trump had already deleted the post. Engoron said he ordered it gone.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Donald Trump: I’ll take over as Speaker for 90 days
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/6...8af3ae4b753834
Quote:
Donald Trump has said he will accept the speakership of the House of Representatives for up to 90 days in an effort to unite the fractured Republican Party.
Speaking to Fox News on Thursday night, the former president, 77, said that he was willing to step in and serve as the “unifier” of his party, days after his supporters in the House voted to remove Kevin McCarthy, another Republican, prompting a crisis that threatens to leave lasting divisions.
“I have been asked to speak as a unifier because I have so many friends in Congress,” Trump said. “If they don’t get the vote, they have asked me if I would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer term, because I am running for president.”
“I would only do it for the party,” he said, stressing that his focus was on his presidential campaign...
… Some of his supporters in the House, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia congresswoman, have argued that Trump would be the best candidate for the speakership, the third most senior position in the United States behind the president and vice-president.
Were Trump to win the backing of colleagues, the party would have to change its rules to accommodate him.
Trump is ineligible as Republicans bar people with felony indictments from serving in the role. Trump is facing 91 criminal charges in the four cases.
|
If this were to go ahead, if anything unfortunate were to happen to the President and Vice-President, the Speaker would become Acting President (there is some debate about this, as Trump would not be an elected (by the people) Member of Congress, but an appointed Speaker (which has never happened before)).

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Don't get your hopes up, folks! His post now been taken down so I can't see Trump going to jail for this offence.

Donald Trump threatened with jail after breaking gag order in $250m fraud case
The former president made a personal attack against a judge’s staff member in a since-deleted post. While it was removed from Truth Social after a gag order was put in place, the post was still available on Trump’s campaign website.
Donald Trump could face jail after violating his gag order with an "untrue and disparaging post".
Judge Arthur Engoron, presiding over Trump's $250m (£206m) New York civil fraud case, said the former president could be sent to prison for failing to comply with the partial suppression order.
At the start of October, Judge Engoron ordered a Truth Social post be removed and imposed a limited gag order "with respect to posting or publicly speaking about any member of my staff".
On Friday morning however, the judge noted that the post was still available on Trump's 2024 campaign website, which violated the order. It has since been removed.

Trump co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro pleads guilty in Georgia election case
Chesebro became the second former Trump lawyer to plead guilty in as many days, following Sidney Powell on Thursday
ATLANTA — Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer for Donald Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty Friday to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, a deal in which he will avoid jail time and agreed to provide evidence that could implicate other co-defendants, including Trump himself.
Chesebro pleaded guilty to a single felony count of conspiracy to file false documents and accepted a sentence of three to five years of probation, a $1,000 fine, $5,000 in restitution to the state of Georgia, an apology letter, 100 hours of community service and a promise to testify truthfully against any other co-defendants in the case, should they go to trial.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Yup. He (and Powell yesterday) have turned State’s evidence. A plea deal so they get a light sentence in return for fingering the one the prosecutors really want.
Trump’s goose is well and truly cooked.
