    Trump mouthed off at Engoron in the civil fraud trial. It didn't help Trump who incurred a judgement against him of hundred of millions of dollars.


    Trump “just yelled at the judge” for several minutes — and has been “screaming insults” at NY AG

    excerpt:

    "Donald Trump "just yelled at the judge for a several minute stretch" while testifying on the stand at his New York civil fraud trial, Politico's Erica Orden reported. Though the former president's outburst led New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron to furrow his brow, he otherwise did not react.

    Trump's fury erupted after Engoron interrupted his tangent about a disclaimer clause included in his financial statements, which the former president has previously argued were intended to advise reviewers against trusting the accuracy of the listed asset valuations.

    "No, no, no. We’re not going to hear about the disclaimer clause," Engoron interjected. "If you want to hear about the disclaimer clause, read my opinion again, or for the first time, perhaps.""

    Engoron put Trump in his place about disclaimer clauses.

    In the past, Trump used them as an escape hatch to not pay his contractors and not pay back his loans to banks.

    It didn't work for Trump this time.

    All of the stiffing Trump did to people should be recognized by his followers, particularly the working class ones who are in the same boat as the small businesses Trump stiffed because he knew it would be easy.

    Trump's followers should also be cognizant of his cheating banks. The public's money, including that of Trump's supporters, is in the banks for them to use and earn money, some of which goes back to the bank customers in the form of interest income.

    Trump's followers should be aware of remarks he made while he was president that the U.S. shouldn't pay back all of the national debt but rather just a portion of it. That would cheat the public out of money it had given to the government that it expected to earn interest on but instead would receive back only a fraction of what had initially invested.

    No Labels official: Democrats will get ‘run over’ by the ‘Donald Trump train’

    excerpt:

    "Duncan served as the state’s lieutenant governor from 2019 to 2023. Duncan, a Republican, has been a critic of Trump.

    “Meanwhile, our country remains on a collision course for the sequel no one wants,” Duncan wrote in an op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last month. “An increasingly frail President Joe Biden versus an increasingly unhinged Trump, who could be a convicted felon before Election Day 2024.”"

    Trump supporters say that they have enough signatures for a recall to try to oust Robin Vos of WI.


    Trump supporters hoping to oust Wisconsin leader say they have enough signatures to force recall

    excerpt:

    "The recall effort targeting him highlights continued frustration among Trump’s supporters in battleground Wisconsin over his loss in the 2020 election and how Vos responded to it. That includes how Vos refused attempts from Trump and his supporters to decertify Biden’s win and how he didn’t move forward with impeaching Wisconsin’s top elections official.

    Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016 but lost to President Joe Biden by a similar margin of about 21,000 votes in 2020. The result has withstood two partial recounts, numerous lawsuits, an independent audit and a review by a conservative law firm."

    Objective facts mean nothing to Trump.

    He wants his supporters to sneak into election facilities, illegally tamper with equipment, copy software and publish it on the web, coerce state election officials to 'find' him enough votes to overturn state elections, and use physical violence against his VP to coerce him into rejecting the authentic slates of electors presented to the U.S. Senate.

    About half of the voting public is comfortable with Trump becoming president again.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/10/trump-ken-block-campaign-fraud-book/

    excerpt:


    “At first, the requests were worded ‘Please try to verify this claim,’” he writes. “By the end, the requests were phrased ‘Tell me why this claim is wrong.’”

    "In a recent interview, Block said he studied more than a dozen complaints from the Trump campaign — and none of them was substantiated. Some could be dismissed within minutes, while others took considerable research, he said. Ultimately, he was paid about $800,000 for his work, which was not made public at the time because it did not help Trump, he said.

    An invoice reviewed by The Post showed his work was extensive. It included analyzing more than 21 million voter records, reviewing voter data from five swing states, examining voting patterns at Pennsylvania nursing homes, and comparing voter registrations to the Social Security death index, looking for possible instances of votes cast in the name of dead people."

    What an intense weekend on the campaign trail tells us about a Biden-Trump matchup | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "Every now and then, the Trump campaign sends signals that the ex-president will project a more sober persona as he courts suburban voters who disdain him and could decide the election. History shows this to be just spin.

    On a wild Saturday night in Georgia, the ex-president – now the presumptive nominee after former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dropped out last week – let his extremism rip. He mercilessly mocked Biden’s lifelong stutter, showing again that cruelty and bullying underpin his political brand. He called the press “criminals” and made more false claims of election fraud. Trump, who destroyed more presidential conventions than all of his predecessors, also complained that Biden debased the occasion of the State of the Union address, typically charging his opponent with transgressions of which he is guilty. He blasted Biden’s “angry, hate-filled rant,” adding, “He’s a threat to democracy.”"

    Four years have passed since the 2020 election campaign season.

    Kari Lake is still insisting the 2020 election was rigged and that her failed 2022 gubernatorial election in AZ was rigged.


    Kari Lake airs election grievances as GOP leaders urge her to look forward

    excerpt:

    "In a wide-ranging interview with CNN last week, Lake continued to insist there were “major problems” with her own failed gubernatorial bid and falsely claimed the 2020 election was “rigged.”

    “I think it was a rigged election. … I believe it was. But what I’m trying to do is look forward,” she said in the interview, which will air on Sunday’s “Inside Politics” with Manu Raju. “I do continue to talk about it when I’m on the campaign trail in Arizona. … When I’m on the campaign trail, the people care deeply about it."

    Trump supporters will have his brain preserved in a glass shell and still running the party, like the Star Trek episode The Gamesters of Triskelion.

    The RNC gave itself away to Trump last week when it turned over control to his relatives.

    Americans split on who they trust to do a better job as president: POLL

    excerpt:

    "When it comes to the job Biden is doing on major issues and how Trump handled these same issues when he was president, Americans grade Trump more favorably than Biden on the economy (49%-37%), inflation (45%-31%), crime (41%-35%) as well as on immigration and the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border (45%-29%).

    Americans give higher marks to Biden over Trump on climate change (42%-33%) and abortion (47%-35%). Among Americans who view both candidates unfavorably, 36% approve of Biden's handling of abortion."

    Hungary's Orban Says Trump's Plan To End Ukraine War Is To Cut Funding

    excerpt:

    "He will not give a penny into the Ukraine-Russia war and therefore the war will end," Orban said in the interview of Trump, who is on the verge of becoming the Republic Party's candidate for the election.

    "If the Americans do not give money and weapons, and also the Europeans, then this war will be over. And if the Americans do not give money, the Europeans are unable to finance this war on their own, and then the war will end," he added.

    Orban has stood out in the European Union for breaking with most of the bloc's leaders by maintaining ties with autocratic leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    Former advisers sound the alarm that Trump praises despots in private and on the campaign trail | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "Trump’s admiration for Hitler went further than the German leader’s economic policies, according to Kelly. Trump also expressed admiration for Hitler’s hold on senior Nazi officers. Trump lamented that Hitler, as Kelly recounted, maintained his senior staff’s “loyalty,” while Trump himself often did not.

    “He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,” Kelly recalled. “He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal — that we would do anything he wanted us to do,” Kelly told me."

    The usual empty remark by Cheung.

    excerpt:

    "When asked to respond to the allegations from the former Trump administration officials, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung did not comment on the substance of what they told me but stated, “John Kelly and John Bolton have completely beclowned themselves and are suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They need to seek professional help because their hatred is consuming their empty lives.”"
