In addition to praising the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, Trump is still raving about his beautiful relationship with the dictator of N. Korea and other world dictators. Watch: Trump’s Disgusting Praise for “Beautiful” Bond with Kim Jong Un excerpts: "It boiled down to something that was very beautiful, the way it happened, and I got along with him very well,” Trump said, saying that their relationship “morphed” from insults early on. “He respected me, I respected him,” said Trump. He called Kim a “very smart guy, very strong guy” and the “absolute leader” of his country." "It’s not the first time Trump has spoken glowingly of Kim in recent days. At his rally in the Bronx last week, Trump praised Kim in addition to fellow authoritarians Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Viktor Orbán, saying they were “at the top of their game, whether you like it or not.”"

Ron Johnson is a spoiled kid. He tried to transfer fake electors to Pence on Jan. 6 and was kept safe by Capitol police during the riot. Years later, he's still ignoring the injuries 140 police officers sustained while protecting him that he thinks didn't happen because the rioters didn't use guns. He's also ignoring the death of Officer Sicknick the day after the riot and four police officers who committed suicide in the aftermath.
Sometimes it's difficult to tell if Cannon is really that clueless about the law or if she's just using a rope-a-dope tactic to frustrate the prosecution. Confused Judge Cannon needed concept explained slowly to her multiple times. 'Confused' Judge Cannon needed concept explained 'slowly' to her in court by lawyers: NYT
Trump won't answer questions when he exits the courtroom at the end of the day. He does his usual speech about unfair, witch hunt, conflicted judge. Then he walks away.
Trump is upset that the prosecution didn't call witnesses that his own defense team could have called. Trump himself could have testified as a witness but didn't after saying he absolutely would.
Trump's defense team called only two witnesses. The second, Costello, was who made a fool of himself and Trump by insulting the judge, enough that Merchan removed everyone from the courtroom to reprimand Costello. Costello is a longtime associate of Giuliani. After all the damage Giuliani has done to Trump, Trump still won't give him up. Giuliani has wrecked his own life for Trump and still won't stop wrecking it.
The way Trump's attorneys presented his case in court, it seemed like they were hoping for a hung jury rather than an acquittal. A motif of Trump's defense was that supposedly everyone does what Trump does (falsifying business records, under-the-table payments to hide incidents, burying bad news stories using catch-and-kill, hiring liars and cheats, having affairs with porn stars, bragging about being able to grab women by the crotch, not reporting fringe benefits on tax returns, hiring people like Weisselberg who has gone to prison twice related to Trump, etc.)
What next? The supporters of the rioters could try to draft some fake documents to try to trick the Arlington security into thinking they have permission to deposit the stone in the cemetery.
AG Paxton is calling for FBI to be dismantled He's upset that Trump and his accomplices are being brought to justice.
Trump more delusional than people thought. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/...rians-jeer-trump-at-their-convention-00160023
Trump said yesterday that he didn't even know what the charges are. Therefore, there supposedly is no crime. Trump told Judge Merchan in court in early April that he understood the charges. Trump just debuted a new trial spin as the jury deliberates, claiming 'nobody knows what the crime is' excerpt: "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE IN THIS RIGGED CASE—I AM ENTITLED TO SPECIFICITY JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE," he posted on Truth Social after jurors began deliberating. "THERE IS NO CRIME!""
Largest most dangerous cult in American history. We're watching the largest and most dangerous 'cult' in American history excerpt: "I was dying…It was just a matter of time. Lying behind the wheel of the airplane, bleeding out of the right side of my devastated body, I waited for the rapid shooting to stop. —Former Representative Jackie Speier in her memoir Undaunted: Surviving Jonestown, Summoning Courage, and Fighting Back recounting her experience after being shot five times during an ambush during her fact-finding visit to Jonestown, Guyana where Jim Jones and his cult, Peoples Temple, had built a compound. It, combined with everything else that was going on, made it difficult to breathe…Being crushed by the shield and the people behind it … leaving me defenseless, injured. —Metropolitan police officer, Daniel Hodges, describing being crushed in a doorway during the January 6, 2021, attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol"
Trump did a rally in Waco, TX in March 2023, the month of the 30th anniversary of the government raid on the Koresh compound in Waco. Trump is trying to tap into the cult-group resentment of the government to give himself more power in his own MAGA cult. Trump supporters, including Branch Davidian leader, undeterred by looming legal woes
The 2024 election cycle surveys show Trump gaining people willing to vote for him over Biden compared with the 2020 election. That's after the horrific violence that Trump caused at the Capitol. It is like the general public in the U.S. joining Jim Jones' cult in Guyana AFTER the mass suicide that killed 928 Americans and downplaying it as a peaceful daily tourist event. The RNC itself has turned the party over to Trump by having its chair people resign and letting Trump's daughter-in-law run the party. The RNC made Bobb it's 'election integrity' officer. Weeks later, Bobb was indicted in AZ for trying to steal the election from Biden in 2020. https://ncnewsline.com/2024/04/29/t...awyer-charged-in-arizona-fake-elector-scheme/

Kyler Joseph Bard pleaded guilty to charges of assaulting officers, civil disorder, trespassing and disorderly conduct, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release.

Profiles of Trump's rioters. Profiles of the January 6th Inmates in the D.C. Jail excerpt: "The Statement of Facts authored by an FBI agent for Dempsey’s case cites a video recording of a “monologue” Dempsey gave “in front of a wooden structure representing a gallows fitted with a noose.” Dempsey said: Them worthless fuckin’ shitholes like Jerry Nadler, fuckin’ Pelosi…They don’t need a jail cell. They need to hang from these motherfuckers [pointing to gallows]. …They need to get the point across that the time for peace is over. …For four, or five years really, they’ve been fuckin’ demonizing us, belittling us, …doing everything they can to stop what this is, and people are sick of that shit. …Hopefully one day soon we really have someone hanging from one of these motherfuckers…"
