Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

I am constantly amazed how someone with zero loyalty to anyone inspires people to be so loyal to him
==============================================================

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.— A longtime employee of Donald Trump, who testified before a grand jury in the case involving the former president’s handling of classified documents, described a culture of loyalty around Trump that drives people toward extreme lengths to protect him.

Brian Butler, who is referenced in the classified documents indictment as “Trump Employee 5,” delivered bombshell testimony to federal prosecutors last year who used that information to later charge Trump. Butler, a central witness in the case, is one of several Trump employees who could play a major role at trial.

In an interview with NBC News, Butler recalled his time testifying before a grand jury last year after meeting with special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, D.C.

There were “about twenty” jurors, he said, including one who appeared to be sleeping. “I could see their eyes shut,” he explained.

The interview took place in a “dark room, kind of like an old room,” he said. “It was like being in a closet.” None of the jurors asked questions.

But Butler said that prosecutors from Smith's office “were interested in everything.”

A 20-year Mar-a-Lago employee, he told Smith that he believes the culture surrounding the former president could make those around him more likely to break the law — including on Trump’s behalf. He talked about the actions of Carlos De Oliveira, a fellow employee who was charged with Trump.

“I said, I bet you 95 out of 100 people in Carlos’s shoes would do exactly what he did,” Butler recalled. “I think there’s many people that would do his bidding for him if he asked, absolutely. Look at Weisselberg.” .............

Are people still complaining about Biden looking tired, being too old to campaign, hiding indoors and not giving interviews? Or was that Tired Trump ?


====================
Joe Biden has been to every top battleground state but one since the Super Tuesday primaries. He has also been on unannounced calls pushing negotiators toward a Gaza ceasefire, among other official White House duties.

Donald Trump has held one rally in a battleground state in those two and a half weeks, and shifted another to Ohio, in part to save on costs. He has also played in two golf tournaments at his Palm Beach golf club, among other activities at his club, like lunches with potential campaign donors that aides feel are about to start paying off big.

The two oldest presidential candidates ever are always touchy about any mention of their own stamina or acuity. And they’re each eager to take shots at the other about who’s sleepy and who can keep up.

But the two weeks since they essentially wrapped up their nominations show very different bets being placed so far – and the very different challenges they face.

Already this year, both men have shown reason to doubt the value of traditional campaigning: Biden won the New Hampshire primary as a write-in candidate while refusing to visit because of a dispute with the state over the timing of its election. Trump steamrolled his opposition despite being the candidate who spent the least time on the ground.

With two candidates this well known in a country more polarized than ever, no one knows how much campaigning will matter this year, especially with political operatives across the spectrum trying to figure out what tactics still work post-pandemic.

But the contrast in the past two weeks has been stark.

Biden is in the midst of his most intense period of in-person campaigning since before Covid-19 shut down the 2020 primaries, just as he was clinching the Democratic nomination four years ago. He’s on a post-State of the Union sprint that will culminate with a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York next week, where former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are expected to help him pull off what several involved believe may become the single biggest fundraising event ever.

For Biden, all this activity is a very deliberate flex, designed to build off his hard-swinging State of the Union address as a way of allaying concerns among majorities of voters – and many Democratic leaders themselves – that he is not up to a second term.

Aside from his ongoing court appearances, which he’s chosen to make, Trump has remained almost entirely behind closed doors in Palm Beach, trying to drum up his lagging campaign fundraising and strategize about how to pay the $454 million bond he’s been ordered to pay after the judge in his New York civil fraud trial found that he and his company had lied about their assets for years.

Please…you ignore the most important part. The part where he said he was going to use his own money on his campaign.

“Prison and jumpsuits,” he said. “They will be cellmates for the rest of their lives.”

“This is really a battle between good and evil,” evangelical TV preacher Hank Kunneman says of the slew of criminal charges facing Donald Trump. “There’s something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It’s called the anointing.”

The Nebraska pastor, who was speaking on cable news show “FlashPoint” last summer, is among several voices in Christian media pressing a message of Biblical proportions: The 2024 presidential race is a fight for America’s soul, and a persecuted Trump has God’s protection.

“They’re just trying to bankrupt him. They’re trying to take everything he’s got. They’re trying to put him in prison,” author, media personality and self-proclaimed prophet Lance Wallnau said in October on “The Jim Bakker Show”, an hour-long daily broadcast that focuses on news and revelations about the end times that it says we are living in.

“The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped.” In both the 2016 and 2020 elections, evangelical voters staunchly supported Trump despite claims of adultery and sexual misconduct, which he denied.

With Trump now facing dozens of criminal charges as he pursues a second term, some Christian media are bolstering his support by portraying him as an instrument of God’s will who faces persecution by his foes.

While the people making these claims are largely outside the mainstream in Christian media, they have amassed significant online followings and their messages reverberate across radio shows, cable TV and streaming platforms that reach millions of Americans every day.……

These people are as fanatical and dangerous as ISIS, Hamas and the Taliban. I hope people don't let their familiarity or acceptance of Christianity lull them into the false perception that these people aren't a dangerous and deadly threat.

If Trump loses the election and/or gets criminally convicted, some of these people will rally around Trump as a martyr and violently retaliate.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is returning to the stock market, and the former president stands to reap a sizeable payout in the process.

Shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded shell company, approved a deal to merge with the Trump’s media business in a Friday vote. That means Trump Media & Technology Group, whose flagship product is social networking site Truth Social, will soon begin trading on the Nasdaq stock market.

Trump is set to own most of the combined company — or nearly 79 million shares. Multiply that by Digital World’s closing stock price Friday of $36.94, and the total value of his stake could be nearly $3 billion.

The greenlight arrives at a time the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is facing his most costly legal battle to date: a $454 million judgment in a fraud lawsuit.

But Trump won’t be able to cash out the deal’s windfall immediately, unless the company’s board makes changes to a “lock-up” provision that prevents company insiders from selling newly issued shares for six months.……
