What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

David Pecker was present at a meeting with TFG and Cohen where this plan was hatched. Pecker is the first prosecution witness today. It's an election interference case, not a "hush money" case. Cohen lied to Congress about this, and went to prison. TFG has lied identically about it, and if he lies again in court, it should be easy to convict

Trump…

Whatever you say about Nancy, at least she was able to keep her conference together. A skill that's eluded the Republicans completely.

he also complained about the heavy police presence (just days after someone lit themselves on fire) and the dearth of MAGA protestors present at the courthouse - why do there need to be fewer cops for MAGA protestors to show up, Don? 🤔 Could it be the majority leftovers of his support are still out wanted for January 6 crimes or do you just not have much diehard support left? Or maybe he doesn’t assume his base have jobs 😆

Klepper's coverage of the trial scene last week and his commentary this afternoon on it

I just want the judge to take the great scene from Porky’s and ask Stormy which is Donald’s tallywhacker and have a tallywhacker line up.

NSFW clip from Porkys.

ladies and gentlemen of this jury this oaf read this placard then bluffed his way through a live television broadcast a few minutes later saying maybe we should shove sunlight up peoples butt and inject them with bleach

”OBJECTION! Your honor my client clearly said inject them with disinfectant, not bleach” a distinction without a difference your honor. “Overruled”

It's not that simple. If he had given her the money from his own funds then that's a taxable benefit in kind. He'd have to declare it. I'm not sure what the rules are in America but certainly here if you want to give large sums of cash, as a gift, to a stranger then tax needs to be paid on that.

In short there's no legal way to give her that money without declaring it in one way or other.

World domination. Seriously. Soon he'll be leader of the biggest nuclear power on Earth and with a cult-like following he can do whatever the f0ck he likes.

Trump dealt with the problem the way he dealt with all his problems...

Bribe, threaten, cheat on his taxes.

So, he's an insurance company?

Anyway, looks like he and his "best people" attorneys are digging themselves a massive hole in court.

I suspect not as much «married against her will» but more «married until the point she’s exhausted any financial benefit for herself or Barron».

Trump has a pretty bad track record staying successfully married to the Easter European trophy wives he tends to go for, and I doubt Melania is any different. I fully suspect that the whole Stormy relevation was not news to her and that her tears when Trump won in 2016 were those of dispair. She could eventually slip away from a wannabe alt-right media mogul, but as First Lady she knew she had to endure 4 to 8 years more of him.

There is no love there, and I somewhat suspect there never really was any. Now Melania has to be paid off with oddly high «Table Arragement» fees or «stylist» fees. I suspect this is all just to keep her to agree to stayibg around.

She’s very likely going to leave him, and that’s likely on the day when he loses all his cash and refuses to pay her anymore.
