It's getting harder and harder to get attention apparently. Which is good.
It's all just smoke and mirrors. He probably realizing that his supporters get fewer and fewer, and those charges are becoming more and more problematic so he's just trying to deflect. IMO, but Trump has never been held accountable his entire life so it will be interesting to see what he'll do when he finally is
Cocaine overdose FTW!
I mean, anyone with a vague sense of his trajectory can see what he'll do when he finally realizes he has no options. He's ramping up rhetoric like this to rile up the unstable people in his base. It's stochastic terrorism. He probably knows that another jan6 is unlikely, so he's hoping someone will do something crazy to pull attention off of him.
Aren't republicans the ones who say things like "taxes are theft"?
Once upon a time
At some point the bombast balloon pops.
That’s a bold stance considering who it’s coming from. I wonder how willing he’s going to commit to it 😂
Oh, is that right? So what kind of sentence should Trump should get then...?
I would have the POS orange idiot Drawn and Quartered...televised live! I would fucking pay for front row seat!

Nope. Not seeing death penalty anywhere in there.
Well, it’s a good thing this guy will never be elected president…
If only!
so trump about you not paying taxes? oh right that makes you smart. but others deserve the death penalty.
Well, you can't say he doesn't have audacity.
What ? That is a bit much.
